Actually there is.
One of the facets of attaining adulthood is learning to live within one's means, and an element of a mature mind is the ability to appreciate what one has.
"Flaunting" anything is a sign of immaturity, and this is true of the eighteen year old flexing his biceps as much as the 45 year old who can't develop self-esteem without a corvette.
If one has a significant income, is there any valid reason that one should strut about and ensure that the world knows it?
