Nou, I'm more inclined to side with you on this (I don't like displays of wealth); however, different professions require different considerations. Your dad is wise to not display wealth to his clients, we follow the same thinking in my business. There was an unwritten rule at my former employer; "nothing better than a Buick." The thinking was that while most of us could afford much better vehicles showing up at an insured's house in a luxury or sports car would send a bad message (look, we're getting rich off of your premiums). The same does not hold true in real estate or financial management though. People understand that the accumulation of wealth in those businesses is an indicator of success. If you're selling your house you want a successful real estate agent because it suggests there is a higher probability of your house selling quickly and at a high price (true or not, that is the message people get). So while driving an Jag and wearing a IWC watch would be a terrible idea for me it would actually be a good bit of marketing for Eric. |

I know that, I don't think Vivid does if he is trying to compare himself to my father lol. Also you know vivid is going to do it in the least classy way possible. |

looney only ever brought up his wealth when he was defending his position on something. I don't recall him ever starting a thread just to brag about it |
