people just have more money now, inheritance, smart career choice or just plain lucky, personally i bought a house 6 months ago, i work full time and dropped out of polytech when i was 21, im 23 now. i support my partner who is studying at the moment, and paying my mums bills as she has just had surgery and can't work and ACC won't pay out. And im a car enthusiast(boy racer to some ) so i have nice cars.
yet i don't show it off too much, but i do like to occasionally cos i worked very hard for it all.
my mum left my father when i was 6 and we were in and out of womens refuges till i was about 12, and i've had a job since i was 11.
so if you've worked hard for it i say show it off, but what annoys me is when people who have inherited money and show that off, they haven't worked for it, i find alot of my friends are the type with rich parents who haven't had a job in their life, and they live off their parents success. always been jealous of them. but i'm glad im not them cos im sure i wouldn't be as smart as i am now.
