Without pretence, how'd you feel being a low class admist first classes where public are being attentive?
Honestly, to some oppressive times, I actually feel like to afford the first class expenses in that period of time just for impression but my fear always goes to HOW TOMORROW MAY BE because living in such competitive arenas is liable to disappoint a man as time approaches.
Money is indeed a key word of man's status quo but it's better to maintain a sustainability for a long term going than living the high classes in just a short term else, you'd become a mockery in reviewing of your past and recalling your present status quo.
Be yourself by showing your abilities, forcing yourself too hard to look cooler by relying on money will make you less confident in the future because of your limited abilities. HOW TOMORROW MAY BE? This is the key so that you don't live in pretense. Achieve what you can achieve, let yourself grow by enjoying the process, because success takes time. If you do it prematurely by relying on money to get what you want to achieve, you will feel uncomfortable and inferior to your friends who have a higher level of knowledge.
