If you're poor, how do you afford Luxury watches, I don't get it?

On the other hand, the richest people I know seem to wear Apple Watch Ultra a lot, even women who have smalls arms and it looks ridiculous on.

Like everything else, with a monthly payment.

I live in a reasonably wealthy part of the UK. Most developments around me have a mix of affordable (subsidised) and normal housing. In general the subsidised houses have the newer and more expensive cars parked out front whilst the people that can afford their home tend to drive ten year old Volkswagens or similar.

Also if you are wealthy there are good reasons why you might not want to signal that, even within your own family.

You're poor because you waste all your money on luxury goods and frivolities. Why is that difficult to grasp?
