Many of my friends have recently entered the work force. They’ve had to sacrifice a lot to appear to be responsible, hard-working individuals (no gin on Tuesday nights, less than two long islands with lunch, etc.). But how far would you go to keep your appearance of prosperity?
Here’s the situation. You just scored a decent job with a prominent company and are trying hard to make a good impression. Only problem is you destroyed the last home you lived in and all the middle income housing in the area is owned by the same realtor. e.g. You cannot secure middle income housing. You’re faced with the following decision:
Would You Rather ride a dirt bike to work every day and live in a nice house in a well-to-do neighborhood OR drive a new luxury automobile of your choice (BMW, Lexus, Mercedes, etc.) and live in a trailer near a landfill.
There is a security booth when you arrive at your company parking lot and the lot itself is fairly small, so word will get around and your boss and coworkers will be well aware of your mode of transportation. Remember that you will have to engage in “water-cooler” conversation at work all the time. If you choose the BMW/Trailer you will have to lie about where you live and won’t be able to explain your situation. On the other hand your only available explanation for the dirt bike is that you “love to feel the wind in your hair.” There is running water and a sewer system in your trailer.

I would take the nice house. Yes it would be awkward to explain the dirtbike to my coworkers, but I think living in a nice house is more important than awkward “water cooler” talk. And to be honest, everybody at the office probably already talks shit about the amount of toots that emanate from my cubicle, so me driving a dirt bike to work won’t create that much of an uproar.
I would also take the nice house and drive the dirt bike. I think driving a dirt bike might give you an edge, where people are like, he marches to the beat of his own drum…and I kind of respect that. I don’t think it makes you look poor, as where living in a trailer probably does. And I don’t want to live next to a landfill.
