Amy, I sincerely appreciate your lecturing on millionaire Paul lifestyle. Tremendous wealth, junk used car, 330k for a shovel, ...I see... Ordinary technical people in Texas rather prefer three times size, quality, and fine heighbourhood, for half of that price. And a new car. BTW, your excitement about "a NY Times Best Seller book" seems to be quite premature. Look at your citations: <"there is an inverse relationship between the time spent purchasing luxury items such as cars"> Time spent? What a nonsense! People go and just buy luxury cars - no dealers rebates to shop for, no discounts and 0.9% financing... These guys are definitely out of mind... "they tend to not trade wealth for acquiring high-status material possessions." Does not fit my pal Pal quite well: 5k for a router, 5k for a now-absolete 200MHz Sony notebook to play solitaire and pac-man with his under-aged kid... I think he could even buy Pentium-III if he could afford to sell a dozen of Intel shares... "many people who have high-status artifacts, such as expensive cars, have little wealth." These guys definitely meant cars other than Toyota (Bentley Azur, Ferraris, Porsches at least). You are simply confused... Thank you again, and have a nice evening. - Ali
