As far as work, just go to work in biglaw (law firms of 500 or more attorneys) or for a Big 4 accounting firm. The employees work so much that no one has time to spend their money so nobody notices differences in wealth much.

Would these be industries there is competitive status symbol display (e.g. in clothing, watches, shoes, vehicles, etc.)?
