It reminded me a Russian anecdote about so called newly rich Russian businessmen. For those the whole life was constant signaling.

One newly rich Russian shows another a tie he bought a minute ago for 3000 USD. That guy replied, “This is stupid. You had to go to the shop over there. They sell the same tie for 5000 USD”.
