Which leads me to another rant: we frum Jews WORSHIP money!!!
Speak for yourself.
A number of years ago, I won a megillas Esther at a Chinese auction. It came with a beautiful large silver case. I personally detest ostentatious displays (for myself, anyway) and NEVER used the case. For a number of years, I carried the megillah around in a Ziplock bag.
Eventually, my mother in law bought me a simple wooden case, which I now use.
In any large population, you’ll find some examples of people who are showy. But I don’t think frum Jews are any more or less showy with their wealth than the population at large.
