People with money don't buy the expensive flashy things. That's why they still have money. Buffet drives a ten year old car.

    There is a nugget of truth to it but it's more of a middle upper class thing where the blokes who show money aren't necessarily the ones who have money.

    I wish people would stop spouting this nonsense. In my country, rich people are very flashy, whether they are "old money" or "new money." Other countries may be different. Not every rich person is exactly the same (though being rich is unethical, so they are all the same in that regard).

    I don't think being rich itself is unethical. Unethical is what you do with what you have. And, I prefer everyone to be rich than everyone to be poor. That would now make everyone unethical?
