Thomas J. Stanley, a wealth researcher, wrote some books on the subject: Stop Acting Rich The Millionaire Next Door There is a class of people, typically 16-25 who live at home, with minimal expenses and much disposable income he called “Gold Collar Workers.” They often buy luxury cars (usually used or salvage title) they cannot afford to repair and generally act fiscally like stockbrokers (high MPC).

It maybe a sort of victimology where people need to feel like victims to be valued in the victim hierarchy or that they have delusions of grandeur to feel self-important, like homeless people who say the FBI has a file on them.
