The images is just some kind of social media fun act if we know what been poor is you will know with even been told the the image representing the poor guy the cost of things he wore will tell you that he is not poor guy but rich because a poor man can't afford it that is by the way.

Between the poor and rich spending the most on luxury depends on individual been because there are some rich men that spends millions in dollar on luxury why there also some rich men that don't spend on luxury that is the individual aspect of it.

If you really know what been poor is you will know that the poor can never spend on luxury anybody you see that spends on luxury is not a poor person but a rich person.

And one thing appearance doesn't differentiate been poor or rich there are some things that you will see that look simple but they are very expensive.

I disagree. This happens in real life, poor people often live a lifestyle that they cannot afford. Whether it’s having more kids than they can afford to raise or living in an apartment that is above their budget, poor people often find themselves in situations that keep them in debt. The image in the OP depicts a reality that is common in every part of the world. Give a poor man a small fortune, and he will suffer from imposter syndrome. A poor person who just made a little money will spend it all trying to look the part of a rich person.

@Pokapoka124, can you tell us if you are rich or poor and how you spend money in life? Do you represent the rich or the poor? How can you know that all the poor in the world are spendthrifts and the rich are savers? Is poverty a sin? Are all poor people greedy, evil, wasteful, and thoughtless of the future? What is the purpose of this thread when I see most people jumping in to mercilessly criticize the poor and pretend you are all rich?

I live in a third world country, with an estimated 87 million Nigerians living in poverty so I think I’m in a good position to have a conversation about this topic. I didn’t say poor people are evil, greedy, or thoughtless. My point is far from it. I only gave my opinion on the topic based on my personal experience with rich & poor people in my environment.
