 $700 truck and real money in etched in titanium 
 I don’t normally recommend following NBA players’ life choices (outside of 🏀) but kawhi gets it http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CdsgTe7WwAASaTl.jpg 
 That truck on the right is also 🔥 
 🙌 
 No way that truck on the right is only worth $1k but the point remains. Back in in 90s I bought my first truck for $600 and it was rough. Didn't run and needed a lot of work. My used truck I bought in 2017 for cash is still holding the same value. Status trucks are for weak men. 
 My first car purchase was a mitsubishi eclipse that didn't run which I bought for $100 because they thought the engine was shot & I had it running a couple of days later. 
 Nice! 
 Ok cool. Now go ahead and buy that 1.5 #bitcoin and protect it with your life. 🧡 
 pls don't store your money in the bank

inflation would just make it go to waste 
 I'm comfortable with it.

 80k in the bank is a concern. Depreciating faster than the truck 
 Like a nice collection of tattoos 😀 
 This reminds me of when I was recently out and someone was just in awe of how successful another person there was because they have an inground pool.  When did pools become such a strong measure of success?

 Individuals who seek status become slaves to the opinions of others, bending to external pressures to preserve the recognition they have earned. As they do not control others' perceptions, this leads to persistent anxiety about how they are viewed. Moreover, they may find themselves compelled to act against their own desires, as they cannot afford to take actions that might jeopardize their status. 
 never keep your money in a bank. it is the banks money then, not yours, you have to ask them if you can have it back. IMO 
 The lesson from the Millionaire next door: people who look rich usually are in debt and actual rich people usually don't flaunt it. 
 That's a beautiful Dodge! 
 Who t f pays 80k for a truck? 
 People who buy new trucks
