Because when you flaunt that you can afford something objectively expensive, it's called bragging.
It fits the definition of the word, so it's taken as such. Not sure what's confusing you.
- askafriend 7y agoAre people flaunting, or are they participating in a discussion about affordability of housing while you interpret them as flaunting? I only ask this because I've rarely seen people here outright flaunt/brag in the original sense of those words. There's a difference between: "Doesn't matter to me, I can afford it lol, sucks for people who can't." and "I pay X for housing and get paid Y in salary and that's why living here makes sense for me."
