Do people where you live ever say ‘You can’t hide it’ when talking about having money

Local phrases have really interested me of late. Do you ever hear this?

‘You can’t hide it’
‘You can’t hide money’
‘Money always shows’
or similar.

The implication being that even if you are trying to blend in with others if you have money it will eventually become apparent regardless of what you do.

i've heard variations of it as a joke when someone gets a new job, promotion, etc.

I agree. This is why I tell the world I can afford Destin with a sticker on the back of my wife’s van.

When you buy expensive shite or go on a nice vacation the comment is “can’t hide money”.

Around here it’s “Must be nice.”

I've known plenty of people that had loads of assets and the only you would know it would be to look at their financial information. They drove older cars, lived in modest houses, didn't take expensive vacations, wore normal clothing. The only thing that might give you a hint would be they ate the best food and belonged to nice clubs. If you saw them on the street you'd think they were just regular people.

I just like being better than most people.

I go to 30A, sit front row at shows with the kids, drive expensive cars, have a nice house because I’m just better than most people.

I love my privilege and i show it

Nope. No one has said that to me. The wealthy in New Orleans are more street wise than that.

Most people who "look rich" is either really wealthy or trying to appear richer than they are.

I say most, but... Maybe I should say a lot.

Don’t get this. Tons of millionaire next door types everywhere. Also tons of thirtythousandaires.
