One of our hygienist drives one of those convertible Lexus. And I have an assistant driving a BMW. And all of them drive better cars than mine.

The staff always pokes at me for being "cheap." But I don't have the stress about my finances like they do. Most of them live paycheck to paycheck, can't wait till we get paid again, cause they're out by payday
You've just described my office precisely. My staff isn't driving luxury cars (except for my partner who has a leased BMW) but they all have newer cars than me. I've been there over 8 years and I'm the only one still driving the same car I had when I started there.
