If I were making $400K a year, I would not be spending so recklessly. Buying expensive cars and houses is no way to create wealth; such dissipates wealth. OK, if those are necessary for purposes of business, but otherwise -- your kids may need some help in attending a high-cost, first-rate university. Harvard ain't cheap, and if you want your kids to do as well, you had better have a profitable business to hand down or be able to get your kids to a school that can keep them in the upper-middle class.

$400K income is rarefied air in a country in which many are lucky to make $15K a year.

The actor Patrick Stewart, who could have bought any car of his choosing,  shocked his Hollywood buddies by buying a Honda Accord. Excellent car, but not at all ostentatious.

One would think that successful people would have the wisdom to recognize the word luxury and its derivatives for the waste that the word implies. Do kids have to see everything before they are 20?
