try to

look

rich

number one your car is more expensive than your house what's up?

Have you noticed that really rich people? Buy safer cars that will fly under the radar while pretenders do everything they can to stand out once again, but this time with dire financial consequences. Cars much like large televisions are not an investment, they are actually one of the worst expenses you can make with a financial bank. perspective, why would you buy an expensive car when you're still paying rent and don't even get us talking about your chrysler 300? You know the Walmart Bentley and the whole phenomenon of expensive tires on

poor

quality cars. Nobody who is really rich buys that kind of stuff.

Number two, they brag about money. Well, this is the truth. Rich people don't like to talk about money unless it's about business. Money is like the gasoline you put in the tank. You upload it only if you are running out. We said it. Once and we'll say it again Poverty shouts the whispers of wealth in wealthier circles It's actually a faux pas to mention money in conversation because if you really have money it's irrelevant how much you spend on anything the fact that you mention money prices shows that it is a really big purchase for you, the more you think about it, no one mentions how much you paid for a pack of number three gum, dazzled anything and dresses with sequins, rhinestones, everyone thinks they are garbage, except the poor people who love to put rhinestones on everything and we.

I mean everything, poor people love to show off their flashy items like it's some kind of status symbol. Stay away from your shiny iPhone case, your jeans, your Starbucks cup and everything else, sorry girls but no one finds these things attractive, stop doing this to your nails, we think that's the appeal of being shiny but not on good sense in a cheap way that everyone knows is cheap, is the same appeal for sequin dresses and talking about shiny things that have little value number four, they buy zirconium and try to pass it off as diamonds. I've seen these people walking around with huge chains and jewelry strutting around like they're the next Little Wayne.

Most of these are fake. You can buy a gold-plated and diamond bracelet for $14 on Amazon or you can get not one but two dollars worth of diamonds. sign everything for the great price of 9.59 in the words of j cole, you'll probably sneeze too hard and this could break. There is actually a youtuber named a ghetto matthew who goes around a mall testing people's stones with a diamond tester which proves that most people play pretend. a general rule in life stop spending real money on fake things number five bad plastic surgery and fake tans they say it's never cheap when you get a tattoo or plastic surgery because it definitely shows that a lot of people walk around with what is obviously a bad plastic surgery. girls strut around with ha ha bing lips or worse it's gotten to the point where some people can't even close their mouths properly and you know it's the same with breast implants and tattoos, now it doesn't end there.

Fake tans are another state. The symbol that poor people like to play is because to get a real tan in the winter months you need to fly to a different part of the world where you can still find favorable sun, because that is too expensive. People just decided to spray paint their bodies and walk around in what is borderline blackface in some cases and men do it too. Number six, they rent or borrow cars to go on dates. We understand the idea that you should al

ways

try to punch above your weight class if you want to improve, but it's gotten to the point where people are taking out short-term loans to rent cars and pay for meals in order to impress girls. hoping to get laid, which is why he stopped at a Benz the first time you met, but the next time he took an Uber from his car.

It's in the garage right now because you know he's doing some upgrades on it, it's the same reason he won't let you touch any of the buttons on the car or gets mad if you open any of the compartments, it's not his car. The notion that you spend money to impress people who otherwise wouldn't be impressed by who you really are is like living on borrowed time, it eventually catches up with you, you know what's better than faking it until you make it, you actually do it without sabotaging yourself. to yourself. so early in the game number seven they dress too much at most the rich dress appropriately the poor have no idea how to dress depending on different situations we have seen numerous times women come in high heels on a boat trip or at a party in the garden Wealth comes with options and variety just because your friend lent you her pair of Louboutins and your mind reads that, no matter how expensive they are, wearing them to a garden party doesn't look good on others, the more you try to impress others. the others with your outfits, the quicker True Wells will dismiss you, number eight. there is less money in the bag than you paid for the bag this is the deal stop asking for expensive bags until you can afford to buy them yourself what is the point of having a heirmez birken bag that is worth over ten thousand dollars when you don't own it have? paid your utility bills for the last three months, handbags and shoes are to many women what cars are to men, in fact, not even because men buy cars to impress girls, while girls They ask for handbags to impress other girls and point out that you are doing better than them unless you are personally worth over a million dollars you shouldn't buy a luxury watch or a luxury handbag your balance sheet says you can't afford it number nine An impressive fence but there's not much behind it.

You know those people who put lions on their fences and have impressive gates but they can't heat the house during the winter months, you probably do. Why do you have a Versace door but can't afford to lay flooring or at least? specifically in field number 10 mentioning the name you have achieved it when you do not need an introduction you do not need to associate with other people to be taken seriously mentioning the name is, by definition, deliberately mentioning someone famous even though it is not necessary or adds to the core of the point you are making is circumstantial or a flexing of the network these people never talk about the things they have done, instead they try to use other people's influence to put themselves on a pedestal, they want credibility through association.

In our experience these people are celebrity collectors, they would do anything to add your name to the list and then leverage your credibility elsewhere, all for the purpose of access to you and everyone else, they are like a trophy they like throw to the only suitable one. The time to name is if you are meeting someone new and the person you are about to name is a close mutual acquaintance or friend. A while ago we made a video called 15 rules for being a gentleman that you can watch by clicking. in the top right corner, we highly recommend you watch it or watch it again after this 11th video.

Cash, you don't expect literal money to be a sign of poverty, but that's the world we live in, people withdraw your rent or mortgage. Paying money and carrying it around like it was pocket change, no rich person shows off their stack of one dollar bills on social media. We have a lot of love for soulja boy, being one of the first celebrities to subscribe to a lux on youtube, but the money is the phone. the situation needs to stop in the words of jay-z, y'all on the 'gram holding money to your ear, there's a disconnect, we don't call that money here and that's because really rich people don't carry cash or bills one dollar. like a stripper who had a productive night everything is in your bank account do it right if you can actually withdraw in cash all the money you have from the bank you are not rich you may not know it but it can take up to a month for any bank to give you 10 million of dollars in cash or more and there is a waiting period and procedures that all have to be done, not to mention that you are going to pay a hefty fee for cash withdrawal number 12, they prioritize design over usefulness and it is very funny when everyone sees you do it , the girls end up looking like Zaya Dahar in the white dress walking up the stairs at the Versace show in Paris from several years ago.

The rich value quality over design. That's exactly why most rich people seem to wear boring clothes, most of them. people actually use really expensive brands, they just don't buy flashy products aimed at poor and middle class people, rather there is a layer of quality driven products that most of you don't see on billboards as a general rule , the less comfortable something is the worse you will feel in it and people can see comfort number 13. They pretend that entry level brands are luxury brands pandora michael kors trainer tommy hilfiger hugo boss these are just the tip of the iceberg these They are all mid-range products aimed at the middle and lower class, these break as easily as fast fashion products, only you pay a little more because you are trying to look richer than you really are, as we mentioned previously there are different levels of quality that luxury brands use there is more than one versace you have versace jeans couture and then really rich people versace the same way you have the 100 valentino bags and then there is valentino garavani where the bags cost about a thousand dollars each balenciaga through their status focused marketing made poor people pay a thousand dollars for mass produced sneakers money they can barely afford these brands leverage their name recognition to get you to pay more for generic products and if you really know someone who is rich you will immediately realize that you are just stating your status without even having a proper understanding of the luxury market and talking about brand numbers you are a walking billboard for brands you are Okay, so who uses who?

We have the idea that you want to take pride in the fact that you can now afford to buy products from top brands, but with a small logo or no logo. It is not at all more impressive the good design is timeless and the quality does not need to scream you can recognize a classic Burberry trench coat from a distance without needing to see the iconic pattern when you are poor you want the recognition that the brands give you because when you are wearing these brands to move up the social hierarchy when you are rich and successful, it is exactly the opposite, who you are as an individual is more valuable than the brand you wear, so displaying a brand would actually lower the price. perception of those around you, can you imagine someone like Elon Musk or Bill Gates wearing a full Gucci tracksuit even more?

So we were surprised to find that people actually leave the tags on their clothes or products only to find out that they bought them new and not. Second hand, I mean why the 15th place is classy in a shitty area. The last item on our list has to do with the environment in which you live. You spend most of your life in and around your house when you look out the window. It sees the poor spend more time inside the house, while the rich always focus on the long-term view. It is better to be the poorest house in a rich neighborhood than the richest house in a poor one.

Your environment has the power to shape your future, so use it. To your advantage, let's hope you don't fall into the trap of any of these 15, but since this is a conversation and we want you to join in on some of the ways poor people try to look rich, what do you do?
