I'm pretty sure that this is actually a thing; Like once you step outside of the technical field; most everyone else really needs to "dress for the job they want" in the form of, for example, having a class-appropriate car. I think this is one of the biggest bonuses you get as a technical person; you can live with roommates and drive a beater car, if you want, and it's not a problem when getting quarter-million dollar a year jobs. A long time ago, I had a roommate who was trying to make it as a realtor. He though his (actually quite nice) not exactly new honda accord was a big handicap for him. I mean, I don't know if it was or not; I know little about the selling side of real-estate, but I can tell you that most people who do sales or management feel that their symbols of wealth are really important to their job and their income.
