  • A lot of rich people actually try to live a normal looking life. Stealth wealth, and you might never find them until you get invited to their house.

    Their house will be nicer than average, probably not crazy, but just a lot more than a typical person would have. They will have things like fancy light fixtures and switches that don’t look totally normal, the furniture will look normal but if you look closer you’ll only find high quality wood construction, tongue and groove, etc. You should also notice things are probably cleaner than a typical house (because regular house cleaner), everything works, and major appliances are newer generally. They are rich so they don’t have to make any budget trade offs.

    These people might have insane net worth and they are trying to down play it because they know how bad it is for them when they are obviously wealthy for so many reasons.

    Ostentatious wealth signals are usually sign of a HENRY or a striver, those people typically aren’t actually wealthy they have a lot of debt.



  • It’s going to get worse for sure, but in the US I expect this to have an upper bound of pain given how much oil we produce domestically. That doesn’t make us immune, but it should give some limits to the pain.

    Not that I think this is ok or anything, just gives me some small hope that the bread lines might take longer to get to.
