If you don't know anyone who thinks about everyday purchases like this then you're in a social bubble. This is a normal concern for a lot of people.

  Funny anecdote: Jeff Bezos was interviewed in Pay Pal days after making many millions, and as they drove across the GGB, was asked why he was still driving his beat up honda - he said "Why, just because I have some money? Its still a good car!" FF 2020: Jeff Bezos builds worlds most expensive yacht, and is having a municiple bridge dismantled so it can pass through, and local residents want to throw eggs at it as it passes by!

    I think we're all reading the wrong message from that quote. It's supposed to look like the guy's humble but that's just the miser entrepreneur mindset. Spend as little money on luxuries, spend as much as possible on making more money. The CEO at the company I work at is the same way, drives absolute banger cars in an effort to save money or something. I think he ends up paying more in repairs than if he just bought a new one.

    If the car works fine, why waste time buying a new car. Even if doesn't care about money, surely even taking 1 hour or whatever isn't worth it.

As someone from the country you're referring to: this is an internet meme... The bridge that was dismantled is meant to be dismantled for such a thing. Jeff Bezos did not and also cannot order bridges to be dismantled.
