As I was scrolling through my Facebook I saw this photo and how the image discribes the poor to be a kind of people that wears expensive thing to impress people to look like the rich, and the other way round, the rich appears to be simple probably not to be noticed as a rich person. My question now is that,
Does wearing of expensive cloths, shoes and other expensive things a sign of being poor? Or does it mean the rich doesn't wear expensive things or doesn't leave a luxurious lifestyle?
Why do rich people look simpler and more natural? Because they feel confident with the wealth they have so that other people still respect them without them having to show off or buy luxury goods.
While poor people, it is clear that most likely no one respects them and even tend to be indifferent as if they do not consider themselves to exist, that is why poor people tend to try hard to buy and wear luxury goods in any way so that they get attention and can be respected by others.
I see this in everyday life in my neighborhood, there are so many poor people who want to look rich and rich people actually look poor, meaning they want to look simple.
But whatever it is, it all depends on each person's perspective in seeing it, there are also people who have a mediocre income but want to look rich because of work demands. But what is certain is that if you want to achieve financial freedom in old age, be smart in managing your finances, don't buy something that is not really needed.
