Then they get in thier $35-40K loaded pick-up truck to go to work. (Texas)
Which sat outside overnight-- and will be worth $7-10 k in 5 years when it is paid for.
Who's putting on airs and living over their means????

Great post.
Usually when somebody points out my MB, I'll say, "How much did you pay for yours?" (Usually it's an SUV they are driving) and every single time, they paid more than I did.
Then I'll throw in the "it's over ten years old now" comment...
