Sometimes I wonder if living within your means is actually the winning move. It's what I do... But I'm not so sure. 

My buddy has a Maserati that won't even start up, because he can't afford to fix the shot bearings and fuel leak. Car is literally a paperweight, and probably a dangerous one at that. It still manages to impress young hoes "look at this sweet waxed Maserati I have in my driveway"

It's not. You are correct.

All of these solid gold assholes that are flipping houses never 'live within their means' because they're totally functioning on loans.

If I completely fucked off from university, put my life savings into a house and then used that single home as leverage to buy another home. Rent it out, leverage it for another home. Rent that out, leverage it again...etc.

Living within your means is contrary to the above, which would have made me a millionaire by now.
