Scottsdale's wealth is not real

I used to live in the Phoenix area and don’t like Scottsdale at all. Everything is overrated and overpriced. Many people in Scottsdale waste their life keeping up with the Jones and forget about whats most important in life. They wont admit it, but most people in Scottsdale are financially insecure because they have bought everything on credit. They are on the eve of bankruptcy as they are up to their eyeballs in debt, upside down on their inflated mortgage, and have a hard time paying for their overpriced car loan. As the housing market in Arizona and the Phoenix area continues to go to the dogs, many Scottsdaleites are upside down on their inflated mortgage. But hey, its OK because its Scottsdale. Right??
The people are haughty, materialistic and unhappy. You get weird looks from people at the mall or a trendy restaurant if, God forbid, you only look ‘average’ or drive and average car. A neighbor of a close friend of mine in Scottsdale (who is genuine in his kindness) once even told me to ‘never park my ‘ugly’ car in front of his house again.” It told him I had every legal right to do so and for him to mind his own business and get back in his house. Most people in Scottsdale come home from work, close the garage door....and never come out!
Everything is fake in Scottsdale, including the people and their perceived ‘wealth.’ If you want to live in a place where you can have quality relationships and enjoy the more important things in life, avoid this place at all costs.
