But again...hair, teeth, skincare, watches....you can tell who has lots of disposable income.
What about the way they talk?

Not so sure on that. After all a Social Worker who makes $60,000 a year has a Masters degree....but not the same type of disposable income a doctor who makes 300K a year.

The only time I wear "high maintenance" clothing is when I wear Brooks Brothers suits to job interviews. But it's been years since I did that.

One thing I like to do is wear Hard Rock Cafe t-shirts from cities that I visit around the world. But I don't know if anyone around here notices that much. lol.

Social workers making $60,000. What planet do you live on? Perhaps in the Bay Area or New England, but definitely not in the rest of the country. And especially not for hospital social workers.


I don't make that much, and I'm a statistician with a masters degree, albeit that I am a recent college grad, but I manage to dress well and shop for clothes which are made of quality products. I spend far more than most people on clothes. In five years, once I have enough work experience, I hope to have a much higher income.

Ah, figures, leave it to the government to pay outrageous amounts to state and federal employees.

Doctor's wives...wow. They usually look like a million bucks. I have never seen a fat wife of a doctor. I met one who has a personal shopper at Nordstrom's. Sure, they are not the uber riche folks...but they do dress well. Sharp.
