I wouldn't assume that at all, the guy who's making nothing could see the biggest check he's ever seen in his life and blow it on nonsense, the millionaire might be great with investments, etc.

I don't even think the line is that fine. Even if you just flexing, it is probably still better quality. Most things in life you get what you pay for. More accessible and cheaper options should exist but that doesn't mean we have to pretend a $100 off the rack suit is the same as an $800 tailored one lol.

The one making less would value money way more and be smarter/more cautious about how they spend it.

That's not a certainty though.

Someone who makes 1M may be great with money, investments, and how to make their money work for them. Just because someone has achieved wealth, doesn't automatically mean they are loose with their money.

Amount of one's wealth is not an true indication of how they will spend their money. How they achieved that wealth is what's worth noting.

This topic makes me think of commercials I've been seeing for guys who make cost effective watches. Supposedly they're the same as expensive watches but affordable for the common man!

My first thought was that people don't buy watches anymore unless they want to show the luxury of a rolex or whatever. I can't imagine that business will work well because people would be embarrassed to have the budget friendly watch.

Watches aren't about keeping time, they're about flashing wealth.

Anyone remember when Spalding had Dream sneaks? Didn't work

They're still relatively expensive watches, too.
