Arm yourself. Train. Be able and willing to use it. Profile anyone you see near your property, look after your neighbors.

Also, kind of dumb to have such insane amounts of "wealth" at home. Don't get me wrong, you should not have to worry about this shit but I still can't understand someone that wants to own a $10k handbag.

Kind of hard to take me for $100k when most of what I have comes from Ikea.

I know a woman that uses a 2300-ish dollar purse. When asked, was told "you wouldn't understand". The use of material goods to project some "status" is an odd thing. I see lifted trucks with low profile tires(like for racing) that will never carry any cargo, or go off road. I don't get it.

Yeah, the right answer is "I wouldn't understand because it's fucking stupid and you might be too".

Yes, trucks that can't do truck things is very common where I live. I drive into a parking lot and the trucks are at least twice the size of my vehicle. Most of them have never carried anything but air. Often when I drive through residential areas, I'll see multiple trucks in the driveway.

Yep. All shiny and chromy. Never do actuall truck stuff, just be shiny.

I especially love the diesel trucks because they're extra expensive.

I don't understand this idea of buying things that are overly expensive. I get the idea of payng for quality items, just not paying a lot for items that are merely expensive.

The other concept i have a difficult time with is buying slightly different styles of things. For example, shoes. I only own about 4 types of shoes: sneakers, casual, black Oxford and Tevas. But I've been told to buy different styles and colors over the years, which I refused. My argument is always, they aren't necessary plus they take up space i don't have. I tend to also wear them until there are holes in the soles.

A agree. Quality matters and I will spend extra for that, it's cheaper in the long run if you can afford it.

As for extra styles? I don't have time for that shit.

People like to feel and look important. I see all kinds of Range Rovers, Mercedes SUV, being driven by people who dont look like they can afford it. They like the way it makes them feel.
