If it was your partner or your colleague from work invited you to come round and maybe hit the town after what would you rather they had?

Whatever. So long as it was suitable for whatever they'd invited me round for!

I think you must move in very strange social circles. Why do you want to impress anyone with your choices?

I'd rather they had a small home, cheap car and a generous personality so they'd buy my dinner for me

Why would either impress me.

It's like when your'e driving down the motorway and there's a high end new plated car. Most are on finance or leased. Hardly something to crow about.

They are still paying for it...

Equally impressed by neither

My 4 year old asked me if I liked her lego model to which I replied if she liked it is all that mattered to which she smashed it up.

That didn't impress me or her much.

If you can't see that there is a glass ceiling that people are judged on depending on their material possessions (home, vehicle) and disposable income then you've either been working or middle class for too long to see that there are many people societaly above or below you who have looked into social mobility and would like to improve their life.

No, it means that we are mature enough to see that it's not possessions that make someone "socially mobile" it's what they're like as people and how they behave. Just because someone has a bigger house/car than me doesn't mean they are higher up the social ladder, money doesn't come into the equation! Someone with attitudes such as yours would be ridiculed in the higher echelons of society, you can't buy class, you've either got it or you haven't, and in your case...........?
