Characteristics of the pseudo-affluent

The pseudo-affluent generally:

• They earn a high-income, but spend the majority of what they make.
• Wear expensive suits or carry expensive purses.
• Drive high-end luxury or sports cars.
• Really believe that rich people act rich.

It does not mean that every person that drives a BMW pretends to be rich, but those who do spend the majority of high incomes spend it in a way to display their wealth.
