I'd rather fund my investment accounts than some luxury car or especially an oversized house that just becomes a financial burden. I know those are the strongest cues for the same reason though (hard to fake).
Let's say we wanted to be wiser about this, get a good bang for your buck. Are there any studies that go into the various types and strengths of various wealth/status cues?
Here are some ideas I have:
- After skimming this forum I feel like a personal promotion is in order. I'm no longer a web developer, I actually own the business. It's a small one though but growing rapidly.
- Clothing is a status symbol and I believe it also telegraphs tribe and social conscious. Not too expensive. Fit is most important.
- Apartment: Put $200 into a plant and some fabrics. And some tasteful wall art.
Curious what other good wealth or status cues there are.
