Well here’s a news flash: You can afford that lifestyle.

From expensive cars to luxury watches and jet skis — you can have it all. All you have to do is snap out of your herd mentality, shopping at big-box stores and strip malls. And shed the notion that buying something second-hand means you have to look like a homeless artist.

If you know where to look, it’s all there for the taking. It’s like finding a stock that’s poised to take off: Do your homework, strike when the iron’s hot — and you can get a pretty big bang for your buck.

The first step, most pros say, is to start thinking — and shopping — like the zip code you want to be.
