Isn't showing up in a big (or at least decent sized) boat flaunting your wealth? Especially in a lot of foreign locations that are quaint cruising destinations.
Anyone who can cruise around at leisure on a boat that is big enough to live on is wwwaaayyyy better off than the vast majority of the population. Even if the boat has seen better days.
Flaunting wealth by going cruising?
Not even close, we made the right choices, skimped and saved every penny, didn't go out when others did.
Better off is a state of mind. Some family lives in a hut, fishing in beautiful waters, lives off the land pretty much every day and has a fairly carefree existence.
We work ourselves to death, stressed to the max to afford our existence and to save enough up to someday sit in the bay the above family lives every day.. who is "better off" ?
