If what we measure is who is richer then of course appearance cannot be used as a benchmark for who is rich and who is poor, and in the picture we see that rich people look simple while poor people look luxurious, but that's only a part, because I would say that there are also rich people who look luxurious. So I think for the matter of appearance it depends on each person's taste, maybe there are people who think that by looking luxurious it makes people praise them and they feel proud of it even though their appearance drains their pockets especially for poor people. On the other hand I think regardless of whatever it is the point is if you do have a less than good financial situation then balance your lifestyle with the finances you have, simply don't buy something you don't really need, and it's better to prioritize something more important.

But we are living in a world on where there are tons of judgmental people on which they would really be basing up your status in life on how you do look and this is where wearing up something could help out to have that kind of impression of people towards you specially if you do wear up something plus having those expensive phones or whatever luxury that you could be able to obtain on which these people doesnt even know on what are the struggles and hardship that we are really that able to encounter. On the moment that storm comes and since you have spent all the money you do have earlier on buying into those luxury things,then you would really be having those kind of regrets on which it would be leading out into that kind of self realizations on which this is a normal reaction to have. Poor people or in average will really be having this kind of behavior.

Talking up generally about human behavior then we do really want for us to make that being updated into the latest things. Having that good looking and posture will really be giving out that kind of impression
on which it might end up for people to respect you specially if you do really look like rich because of what you do wore. Real rich or wealthy people are the ones who do wear up some simple plain shirt
and even some people do really wear up slippers as if they are really just that on their own houses on which if you do tend to compare both people and their status then you could be able to say
that looks isnt a solid indication for you to determine whether a person is rich or poor. There's no way on knowing it out directly.

Yes, it is true, having a luxurious standard of living is the dream of most people, wearing luxurious clothes and expensive equipment can increase our self-worth in the eyes of others, you will be more respected and considered not an ordinary person, I want it too, but I don't want to make my life more difficult just for something that is not very useful for my life, unless I am a billionaire who has a lot of money.

Remember that other people will never care about how difficult you are, you have a lot of luxury goods but behind the scenes you also have a lot of installments that you have to pay to pay off all the luxury goods that you have taken, it is a situation that is really full of tension and pressure, as I said above that other people will not care about the difficulties you experience, meaning this is a choice, you are free to choose one of two options between looking simple but living comfortably or looking luxurious but full of pressure.

But on the other hand, I might not have a problem with it when a high lifestyle contributes equally to you, such as using or wearing luxury goods as a way to promote the goods and you get a few percent profit when many people are interested in buying them, as influencers, content creators or celebrities do.
