Naaaw Dreamer, it be all about $400 Air Jordans every couple months, as much bling as you can hold on your body, and weekly trips to the hair/nail salon...

Those people who live in those houses, regardless of income (though most are probably fairly upper middle class) have saved their whole lives for those homes. Not a lot of 20-somethings will be buying houses there, mostly people in their late 40s and 50s though, and as their second or third home. Very unlikely someone will buy a home in Severna Park, Crownsville, or the nicer parts of Arnold & Cape St. Claire as their first home.

You'll also notice that MANY (not all) of the people living in those expensive homes have fairly average vehicles: Toyota Camrys, maybe a Ford Explorer; whereas if you go into any hoodrat section of Severn/South Gate you'll see Escalades, Yukons, and anything with spinner rims with much greater frequency.

Not saying this to be "mean" but that's the reality of it if you're paying attention. Save. Live WITHIN your means, and preferably a good bit less than that while saving the rest.
