Default business jet

Why do people assume that if someone is well-off, they no longer care
what things cost?

Did it ever occur to you WHY some folks are well-off? G

I can't afford a biz jet. My plane share is worth about what many
others pay for a new Harley, bass boat, in-ground swimming pool, or
other "toy". Many folks who know nothing about flying assume I'm either:
a.) Up to my ass in debt
b.) Inherited millions
c.) Cheating the IRS
d.) Some other way "well-off", where I should always pay the way

In truth, I'm married, we both have decent middle class jobs, and we
choose not to pay consumer interest, own a 7 foot TV, lease cars, etc...
