Stanley's book "The Millionaire Next Door" as well as "The Millionaire Mind", you will understand exactly what I'm talking about. Truly wealthy people don't need to wear their success on their sleeve-- only people who WISH they were truly wealthy do that.

Some but not all. I lived in Long Island for a few years and can tell you that this is far from true. I know people living in $5M & $10M houses that paid cash and drove around in $200K or $500K cars. Yes your statement is true for some, especially "old" money but there is plently of "new" money out there that have millions and just love cars as well.

Would you think he/she is good because of the car they drive? Would you not want to work with them? Just a friendly poll to see what the thoughts are.

No, it wouldn't bother me in the least. In fact, it would be a positive thing, since it would be a sign of success. And it's much better to deal with a successful realtor than an unsuccessful one.

Well I think it is fair to say this thread was a success. 61 votes and counting. Pretty hot topic.
