    This comment makes no sense, you misinterpreted the headline. It is saying that the rich are feeling apprehensive about conspicuous consumption due to the increasing economic disparity in the world.

        If this “joke” wasn’t referring to “cost of living” in the title, then I guess you’re right, but I definitely wasn’t upset.

          It was referring to EVERYONE ELSE’s cost of living. They’re being careful not to flaunt it while so many people (not them) are hurting.
