We tend to be quiet about what we own, particularly around strangers. I was always taught it simply wasn't polite to talk about money or possessions. In my world, the man may not have been evil, but he was certainly ill-mannered. That may have been because he had an overriding concern for the condition of Vero Beach, which would have been understandable, but its still awkward to discuss your personal concerns with strangers.
It is different here, where the topic is our DVC ownership and our Disney obsession, but I wouldn't dream of bringing it up casually to anyone but close friends or family. Part of it is you are never sure how people will react to the word "timeshare" - part of it is that the Disney obsession is not shared by everyone, part of it is that it seldom comes up unless we are discussing vacations with friends or family.
And I'm always complaining to my husband about being at the wrong end of assumptions about our income level. He says if I would stop wearing shoes that should have been thrown out two years ago and bother to wear something other than Levi's and a sweatshirt, with no makeup and no jewelry when I walk into Nordstrom, I might get a different reaction. I suppose he is right to a certain extent - if I want to be treated like I have money to spend, I should probably dress like I have money to spend (and care about spending it - instead of dressing like the natural cheapskate I am).

It's only your opinion and has nothing to do with DISNEY.
