I purchased a Rolex to hand down to my son. The price of the Rolex has increased by more than 10x but sits in a safe. I was influenced when I saw a grandfather, father and grandson at the jewelry store engraving and handing down an old Rolex. My father passed away and never left me anything. He also walked out on us when I was four. I grew up poor and became wealthy on my own.

I feel the same way. When I was a young working professional (Finance and Accounting) I always thought that when I had enough money I would buy a Rolex or similar fancy watch. Now that I am a retired senior citizen and can afford a Rolex I still haven’t bought one. The watch I wear the most is an Apple Watch Ultra that I bought about 1 1/2 years ago. It provides me with so much information and ability to stay in touch with people.

Another important thing he said (paraphrasing a bit) is not to advertise your wealth. My wife and I have followed the rule that we never discuss our financial situation with anyone who doesn’t need to know about it. If other people know you have a high net worth many will be resentful and/or will hit you up for money. The people who are truly happy for your financial success are definitely in a small minority.

I am not truly wealthy, but quite wealthy, and I wear clothes for a long time, rarely buy brands, have a 15 year old car and a paid off home. I have no debt either. I think people just do not understand the feeling of freedom being financially secure brings you. I have a slogan; "Finish every month in the black" as a start. Just don't spend money you don't have. Thats a good start. If you need to borrow to buy something; rather save until you have the cash or buy something cheaper.

So true ..people who buy extra expensive objects are just showing off..Also I think trully wealthy people spend more on day to day things..delicious and nutritious foods..vitamins..clothes made from natural fabric ( which can be super expensive but look modest). And when they go on a trip, they may not select the popular places but they do chose high quality hotels with rich breakfast and amazing views that are more private and away from the touristic loud locations. They just chose what makes them happy not what makes others happy. And probably the universe rewards them ☺

I see this a lot also. Or a family member passes away and they're scrambling to find funds to bury that person because no one planned for cremation or anything else. Everyone in the family is driving brand new cars and has all the latest items and big houses but they can't get it together for an emergency. I was shocked years ago when I was in my 20s and my 30-something boss did not have $700 to fix a problem with her BMW. I earned a very small salary and felt quite "immature" at that time in my career and life...but $700 would not have been a problem at all for me. It opened my eyes to how terribly some people manage money.

But when I told him about an office building that was up for sale at a heavily discounted price, he came up with $33 million in a form of a cashier's check within 3 days. He's a multi-billionaire and nobody can ever distinguish him from the average person.

Don’t need to act as poor. Money itself has no value until it is ‘converted’ to something you like/need. I’m financial independent at 50, after study / work in the right sector. I live in an upper middle class neighborhood, buy quality stuff that looks good and last long. Just not over the top with everything. I have a vintage Rolex (not the overpriced, obtrusive new ones), drive a second hand BMW with all the luxuries, have a couple of taylor made suits. It is around 40K all together. A fraction of what my assets generate in a year. Eat out a lot in good restaurants and go on holidays at least three times a year for memories with my loved ones. One is only rich when you can look back to a rich life when time comes, not what is on your account by then. The peace of mind of the money on the bank/investment and the passive income it generates is priceless.

He's right, Thomas J. Stanley, who wrote the book "The Millionaire Next Door", documents his findings and discovers wealthy people are very frugal and invest their money in income producing assets, save their money and are very thrifty. They may not be billionaires or have net worths in the 100 million dollars range, but they are low-tiered millionaires or multi-millionaires living very comfortable lives. They have enough wealth to not work if they wanted to.

@bbb_888 Over the past century, the value of real estate had nowhere to go but up. The stock market indexes such as the Dow Jones Industrial and S & P 500 index has climbed higher with each successive year. The real estate "crashes" as you describe, are speculative short-term investments. Stock market crashes is a result of trying to time the market and selling at a loss in a short period of time to make money. A true millionaire invests for the long-term and has done thorough research before embarking on any investments. I feel you don't have the "millionaire mind," and you are a short-term thinker. Thomas Stanley described only a small percentage of people had this wealth accumulating mindset.

I am not rich, but I have some savings in retirement accounts, stocks, and a partially paid-off mortgage. I usually buy five-year-old used cars and stick to liability insurance. However, at 60 years old, I’ve always wanted a Tesla. Recently, I decided to fulfill that dream by purchasing a used 2022 model for half the price of a new one, plus a $4,000 rebate. I realized I would regret not getting one, especially as I age and may not be able to drive much longer.Driving it around is fantastic, and while some people might think I’m wealthy, it doesn't matter. I just wanted a Tesla, and I was able to buy it with my savings. So, if you have the means, why not treat yourself to a nice car or watch? Not for the luxury, but because you deserve it.

Don’t disagree. I think the emphasis needs to be first make the money, that makes the money What you want to do with the money”free” money is up to you. Some people enjoy cars because it was their passion as a kid. Some buy and don’t really like cars and could care less. Also intentional spending needs to be talked about as some people like those things that unfortunately are expensive and there’s nothing wrong if you have the cash from investing along with is it your actual personality that loves those expensive things. I agree. Most people don’t grow up thinking. Gosh I want a Rolex. Most just buy the Rolex to flash and impress. And yes some people get into the hobby and become passionate about the craftsmanship ( very few though ) I myself am a car lover. I detail cars. I wash cars weekly. I’m the type who look back every time I get out and walk in the store. Cars are my jam. It’s what I spend my money on. Yet I have millions that make me more so… I didn’t work to pay for the car anymore

I decided not to buy a new car, because in Brazil car taxes are high, 4% of the market value per year. You're paying for something that is already yours. So I decided 15 years ago not to change the car, my 1995 Corolla will be exempted from next year. If I have to take a client to go dinner or something, I simply lease a good new car for 1 day. As these events are very rare after the pandemic, it is really saving me a lot of money. The same for food (I go to restaurants only to eat something that is really difficult to replicate at home with lower costs), house (live in the same for 20 years), etc.

While neither of us ever went without the important essentials we both struggle at times with a scarcity mindset and have to really watch that we aren't being ridiculous with frugality and restricting ourselves too much!

Thanks for sharing this insightful video. It's interesting how the mindset of the rich is often different from what we expect. If you're thinking about retirement planning, have you considered adding crypto to your portfolio?

Most people that I have met who look wealthy actually are in debt when you peel back the curtain and see the facade that they have created. Now of course there are plenty of rich people who show it off but most are fakes. You should care more about your privacy and security because those are the things that really matter.

I am wealthy and have an expensive watch ( I hardly every wear it) . I prefer to wear a Swatch watch -cost about $20! I also drive an 8 yr old FORD…I don’t care if anyone knows that I have money..No need to impress anyone..Why do people care what others think?

while my father is comfortable financially but certainly not super wealthy, he appears much more modest or even poor. When there was an emergency with an employee in a store he frequented, he paid for everything to make life easier for the person and everyone there was extremely shocked. It was roughly $2k which for him was not a big deal but to the people working in the store it was a lot of money.

Wealthy people bankruptcy by wrong investments. Some even end thier life because of stocks and real estate not all of then could be rich in investment .dress up is a protection coat and a confident from not being put down or look down by a certain people and situations. Limited chasing materialistic is good thing but become a fan of materialistic is a problem. If dress poor could make you rich and stay aways from or cut down problem then heaven are too easy to reach. Because you have only one life treat yourself to feel good is not a big deal as long as you know you live your life is not to show off then do what make you happy. 100 people 100 thoughts why satisfying the other . Dangerous. Good .bad . Hate. Love. are everywhere.

How do you feel about investing in personal residence, in terms of putting money into? I've got a modest home with a low interest rate, but I could potentially buy my parents house at a bit of a discount but it will still nearly double our housing expenses. It seems tempting for a bigger yard, nicer neighborhood, attached garage,etc but I worry it will significantly hamper our wealth building. We do have two children, so I think it could be good for them, since they would potentially have better schools to go to.

I like glamming up with long elegant dresses, high heels,nice handbag. People presume I am rich but no - it does not take lots of money to look glamorous. Takers took advantage of me. Now I go out slumming it - flat shoes, bad hair day. Depressing, but at least I don't end up paying for everyone.

You simply get used to everything. I don't even dress up when I go to fancy places because they're just not all that special to me anymore. Sometimes I feel funny getting out of my S-Class looking like an absolute hobo, but I think that's how you really know that someone actually has some money. The 'dress to impress' mindset just fades away over time.

Not my experience. You live in most ways an upper middle class life but there are dimensions of wealth of it that you don’t hesitate to embody as well, like the house itself, destinations, a grand piano, kids in the best private school, donating enough to meet famous politicians, donating enough to get your name on a building…. That’s not lambo trash but it’s a pretty deep class difference from a poor person.
