What do you do when you meet people who are financially or economically in a better position than you? Let us all be honest here.. we sometimes compare ourselves to our peers and see if they are doing better than us. There are times where, whether it is good or not, we can tell they are doing better in life. Of course we do not know their struggles but we know that financially they are quite more comfortable than you.
In that case, should you try to fake your own situation as to not get pity or should you be honest? When I encounter people who are financially ahead than me I just think that it will be me someday... That I will reach that level too where I would be able to buy whatever they can. So basically I try to make them my inspiration. Do you take inspiration from the rich people or do they make you feel worse?
Fake life isn't good at all, Once you start exhibiting such lifestyle your going to see how lifes turns out for you either you start getting into debts or you start stealing just to fit in with your pears.
Comparing yourself to others will certainly hurt you emotionally and psychologically especially when they are your close friends, If you don't have you let your pears know that you are you in need. Nevertheless never envy someone's success because a price was paid before being in such situations.
