"The really, really rich get much, much richer
On the other side of the spectrum, the fortunes of the wealthy have grown, especially at the very top. The 16,000 families making up the richest 0.01%, with an average net worth of $371m, now control 11.2% of total wealth—back to the 1916 share, which is the highest on record. Those down the distribution have not done quite so well: the top 0.1% (consisting of 160,000 families worth $73m on average) hold 22% of America’s wealth, just shy of the 1929 peak—and exactly the same share as the bottom 90% of the population. Meanwhile the share of wealth held by families from the 90th to the 99th percentile has actually fallen over the last decade, though not by as much as the net worth of the bottom 90%."

I said I have savings acumen...I didn't say I was in the top 1% in wealth. People richer than me don't necessarily have more savings acumen.
I'm probably more like top 10%.
I'm also a slight hypocrite because I could afford a lot nicer car too, but after a certain point, feel cars are a toy. I just think a 35 variant is a lot better than the 28 variant and working as much as this dude does necessitates a better car. If he has an M6, solid.
I never said I always make perfect, rational sense.
