Why do you think people purchase luxury goods?

[@Iquey]

1. Status/marketing/hype 2. Hopeful Investment/appreciation of art, and rarity/exclusivity. 3. Money laundering, bribery, and tax cheating/write-offs such as G-wagons classed as lite trucks for business use.

[@ginamarie5575]

To make them look important or rich when maybe they are not . Most of those people have major issues….. trying to cover it up with expensive stuff or a shopping addiction. It’s sad to me . But that’s what they choose right

[@arymill]

It’s an endorphin rush. What do you think about the quiet luxury/stealth wealth trend?

[@dayvidgee8767]

Attention, bravado, ego, shortcomings.

[@RasiRobi]

Impress others

[@videostar80sduo24]

That was possibly one of the absolute best videos I’ve seen on KZbin. Absolutely riveting, and fair play to the guy for sticking to his guns. Formidable morals and self belief. ❤️

[@louisepotier2784]

What a riveting story. That takes a lot of courage and strength to sit down and think of one's life and the reasoning behind why and where we are. His book will certainly be interesting to read. Thank-you for the interview. I like the way no one interrupts and actually LISTEN to the guests. I love this channel. Merci! And have a great day! 🙂

[@bridgeskylive]

YES!!!!! I yelled in my household, but I am sooooooo proud you stood up and did the right thing for the most important reason...your baby!!! ❤❤❤😢🎉

[@ImZen4Life]

I’m all for the simple life. I don’t want anyone liking me for anything but me. I outgrew keeping up with the jones syndrome early on.

[@mariec6813]

I am so sorry Ray had to go through that but I agree with him that sometimes bad things happen for you and not to you. I've seen it happen in my life. I was stalked by the first person I ever had a relationship with, from the time I was in my early 20s until now (am in my 40s). It's made me see the world differently and I am happier with what I have today because of it. When you live every day as if it could be your last, things have more meaning. (Or rather, things themselves have less meaning - if you know what I mean!)

[@Haze1434]

What an interesting episode! Very open and honest. Ray is great to listen to. Thank you.

[@TruthQuest4700]

Rey's story is captivating and a fine example of how one becomes the alchemist through their experiences.

[@dewondaisy]

Wow, what a story! Thank you for sharing!!!😮

[@cidercik]

That was an honest judge. Unfortunately, not all are like that. Not everyone is going to get justice. And no, letting go is not always the answer.

[@ItsNeverTooHot4Leather]

Judges don't like their valuable time to be wasted. Ever since the 1950s discovery movement, judges strongly advocate that both sides exchange and review the available evidence (pre-trial) and settle, thus avoiding a trial.

[@lilyflower4157]

What a profound story. Thank you for sharing.

[@j.chayo45]

Wow! I applaud him also! May the Lord bless him.

[@danicegewiss862]

We bought land in Western PA. We found out a guy bought land near us who is planning to build an expensive home across from us. He likes to brag about his money. We don't. We don't want people to be able to guess our value. I don't understand the need to talk like you're rich or present how rich you supposedly are.

[@johnmcvicker6728]

I know people like that. Some have gone bankrupt. I just bought marked down out dated stuff at the market today. I think I could actually buy that market in cash.

[@valerierogers9609]

Oh, I hate living by people like that.

[@jtsmoove777]

Man... This was an Amazing Episode! Hit so Close to Home for Me! I have faced the EXACT SAME Challenge! Stood My Ground just as he Did.... I am here as living proof that it happens more than we know! The Exact Same Scenario! Great Video! Thank You! #SALUTE

[@soccermommyNPC]

Hey guys, please add a content warning in the title or description somewhere for the SA survivors in your audience. This man’s message needs to be heard, but I would have picked a different time to listen to it had I known.

[@qwertyqwert2772]

thanks for bringing us this!

[@rjo657]

Excellent. Looking forward to his book.

[@nelly99100]

What is the name of his book??

[@annettesallee2209]

amazing story!!!!!!

[@TwoTwo-e7c]

Such a good story teller wow

[@ambseyyy]

fuckkk that was a good story with such good delivery

[@DJNickle]

Thank you for sharing

[@matthewross1756]

Our focus whether as a minimalist, functionalist, or essentialist should be quality goods versus luxury goods.

[@alandanforth2249]

Wow, what a story. Thanks for sharing. It’s hard to believe what some people are capable and willing to do to you just for easy money, including people closest to you. Great reason to simplify your relationships as well, just saying!

[@borismkhwanazi583]

Great show South Africa is watching always🎉🎉🎉

[@davidicard]

Gracias 🙏 muy buen episodio soy David , muchísimas gracias 🤙🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

[@leahjacobson9253]

The rare false accusations by women are despicable and damage real SA victims unforgivably. They actually hurt victims and help perpetrators. For money?

[@BenGenio]

Rare? Bruh.

[@Kris7245]

It is not rare! Sadly.

[@soccermommyNPC]

They are absolutely rare. In fact, the majority of SAs go unreported entirely (such as this man’s as a young boy). Going through court is a headache, and can be re-traumatizing to victims. He was right to stick to his convictions and not settle.

[@Pazdzioch1993]

Even when you are making podcast ad-free, YT is blocking users who use adblocks and I can't watch your show, so sad :(

[@jibrilbuilder2668]

Here from Rory and Mal. This is a good podcast tho so I can’t een hate. Just here for jokes references. Peace.

[@jonglee3194]

important to understand

[@thesitdowncomedian9301]

What if we have luxury good to make ourselves feel good instead of the perceived notion of it to please others

[@JulietTheGirl]

Wow!

[@TS-wb4xc]

🤯

[@Cloe10112]

I'm glad I decided to search you guys on reddit... when there is something that seems fishy it usually is
