“It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor. ” Seneca

[@FANI-NI]

There are wealthy ppl who own these things too though. Imo, judging who's poor or rich based on their appearance or possessions is what's cheap in nature. The only thing I agree on is the bragging to bring others down. (though I'd like to add that sharing one's love/excitement for something is quite diff. than boasting about it in regards to their mannerisms) Otherwise, who cares what ppl choose to spend their money on, if it's what makes them happy. Being happy for others is such a simple concept. Yet, it's so hard for ppl to do.

I agree with you completely. The problem with a lot of these videos is that they don’t consider the real reason why so many are poor. It’s true that different mindsets create different outcomes, but what about systemic and structural inequalities. Tax non payment for multinational companies, nepotism etc. These videos are far too simplistic, and blame the poor for their plight. A lot of rich people also have trust funds, utilise the money, then pay taxes in what is left. Most poor people aren’t given their earnings until the state has taken its cut.

I have a relative who got a nice financial windfall from selling her property. She immediately bought a new home, but spent 100's of thousands of dollars on renovating it. The original house was really cute & simple, it did need a few repairs but nothing major. She went all out on the renovations, spent 5k alone on one countertop, which was marble. She mainly fixed up the living room & kitchen, and had an apartment made in the basement. She blew all of her money on cosmetic repairs to the house, & now she's back at square one. The apartment helps, but she literally took out a loan because the cost of the renovations exceeded the money she received from the sale. So now it's like she has a mortgage again. She really, really screwed up her chance at financial freedom because she wanted to appear rich.

This happened years ago & they until this day still keep in touch. The amount of times I’ve seen Mr Choo & his fam dressed in normal clothes don’t surprise me anymore & what surprises me more is the amount of wealth he’s surrounded by a lot of the time but really couldn’t care less.

I notice this with some college students and some younger people. I see some college students and younger people complaining and moaning about being broke (although some are genuinely broke and sadly struggling for reasons out of their control) but they always manage to have the latest iPhone when their previous one worked perfectly, they are driving a Benz or a BMW, buying Starbucks drinks and other expensive meals everyday, buying the latest expensive brand name clothing, have a new set of nails weekly, and overall living above their means. Mind you living lavishly on an entry level fast food or retail salary. They often times complain about not having a reliable laptop for schooling, money for textbooks or other money for other school supplies. They will also be the first ones to turn their nose up at you for thrifting, hitting up clearance racks, using coupons, budgeting and living comfortably below your means.

All because of her stupid vanities.

"its better to be the poorest house in a rich neighborhood than to be the richest house in a poor one" couldnt agree more. this is exactly what my parents would say to me when i was growing up since they would buy the crappiest house in the nicest neighborhood and fix it up eventually making a few hundred grand.

[@Filip-db2tn]

If your goal is to sell it one day then definetely yes, but if you wanna live there long term then no. Living in a poorest house in rich area is almost equal to wearing an entry level brands. Ofc fixing up real estate is not for everyone since you need knowlage for that, and effects of this vary from one country to another due to differences in tax laws

And if you can’t afford diamonds but you want some sparkly things in your life, well, that’s what rhinestones, sequins, and cubic zirconia were made for. And actually, living in a nice house in a poor neighborhood can make a lot of financial sense. My house is roomy. It has original vintage design elements. The property taxes are low. The neighborhood is historic and has character. There’s a lot of bang for the buck. So if these things don’t make me look rich, oh, drat! I wasn’t trying to look rich.

Yesss i wear my Vintage coach bags with my vintage Chanel jackets . One time a girl told me why I wear Chanel clothing with a coach bag 😞😞 I wanted to slap her!!

[@marjoriecenatus2894]

I agree. My most expensive bag is a Coach.

[@13ikea]

Absolutely.

I wear shitty cheap gamer t-shirts and some people think I have money! The jokes on you, I do have money, but I refuse to wear clothes with logos or expensive shit! I love to collect old vintage video games and thats a passion hobby. But don't expect me to pay 5k for a sealed video game! I rather spend my money on my house, let it sit in accounts drawing interest, and investing! I rarely carry cash these days and really never have. I drive expensive looking cars after someone has lost money first doing so like on a 2016 Hyuandai Genesis. Original price 75k and got it for 18k with 60k miles 4 years later. You can look rich if you're willing to look for deals. My house sits on a beautiful landscape out in the country and the price on my home has risen from 198k to 327k since the beginning of covid-19. No shitty neighbors, no crime, no trashy homes near, and no loud noises.

Long before IG culture; people were "flexing" and it wasn't minorities

I used to sell counterfeit perfume and clothes to get through college. I found it funny how most of the time people went for the strongest odors and the biggest logos.

I stumbled on Alux and love the content so far! I agree with all the 15 points.

Disagree about #13. There are plenty of millionaires who prefer premium brands over luxury. I'm not talking about the global elite but modest suburban millionaires who are worth 1 to 5 mil. They typically spend more on travel and dining than consumer goods. Just my experience.

[@bmona7550]

@@donofon101 My neighborhood is rich and in the local TJ Maxx you can find plenty of quality luxury bags on a discount so yeah. My family is not that rich (upper middle class) but we don’t spend much on clothes (except mom, she makes the dough and it’s hers that’s why). If anything the expenses goes to College (outside the country so not really expensive, don’t like loans), food and vacations

I'm not that rich though but i never cared what people would think about my financial status. I just do what suits me without thinking whatt other people would think. I know some people who always wear really fancy, branded clothes. sometimes i envy them like how they have really good fashion sense, They have really fancy bikes and cars, they wear fancy jewelry, they always post pictures of them eating in expensive restaurants but on the other hand they always seems short of money. Taking loans to buy something that make them look rich.They're aren't even returning the money they borrowed from me. If you see them on the streets you might think they're very rich but i know they're bankrupt.
