Fake it til you make it?

[GiftedMAN]

If you don't share too much about yourself, no one will know about your financial situation. I don't like people who try to complain about their financial situation instead, they'd be better off doing something to improve it. Some people brag about their successes, and this might provoke some people to also share their financial situation or even slightly exaggerate. But I believe the less others know about you, the better for you, because you don't need to prove anything to anyone, if you feel comfortable, just keep going.

This is how a normal person should live his life very private and normal so that nobody will know anything about your finances, needless of complaining that the things you don't have when you can do things that will improve what you want and add to your financial life. No one should life life trying to prove anything to anybody cause life is better off private and anything you want to do should be what you do on yourself.

Fake it till you make it, is not the way forward in life. Anyone who actually does that is just deceiving and blocking the way help would come their way through friends or relatives that would want to help them financially when they are in need of it.

This life, there's nothing as sweet as being origin ''people to know your real self'' whether you need financial help or not, than claiming all is well with you when it is not.

I think you're getting the statement all misunderstood, faking it does not necessarily mean that you would keep telling lies, no. Op is actually referring to those folks that brag about their finance when it is not even up to the right standard. Most people like bragging about every single thing they buy even if it's something that is worth just $3 yet they will make it look as if it's worth millons of $$$ when those that have all it takes is their playing cool. so what op is actually trying to say is that it is good to play cool more especially when you know that you will be needing help from people.

Something like this might be done for those who are not too confident in what they are living now because after all, pretending to look like we are doing well but the reality is not in line then it only deceives ourselves as if we are doing well when we are not.

Even though this is not very good if it continues to be done, until now there are still many people who do it because there are several things they focus on such as not wanting to show weakness and they only look at the high ego they have.
We will find many people with this condition and it could even be indirectly unconsciously that we might also be included, it's just that we are too naive to realize something like that.

Yes. I think he misunderstood what the op meant. Personally I would act calm in front of friends who pretended they could afford anything, even though I could actually afford it just like them. I mean, wealth isn't for show, and we don't need recognition from others to appear wealthy.

Besides telling the truth about our wealth or buying luxury goods has no benefit, quite the opposite. So I would remain calm and pretend in front of people like that. I prefer privacy regarding my finances and don't need recognition from others that we have a lot of assets because that would also carry risks for us.

Rich people don't actually need any recognition from others, and even truly wealthy people will still be happy when others think they're still poor, even though they simply don't know that the person they think is poor is actually rich. I also don't like to flaunt my wealth in public because of the risk of being monitored by robbers who appear polite and quiet in front of everyone, so choosing to be more private in this area is better. Because the advantage is that we remain safe from other people's scrutiny when we look normal and don't show off anything in front of many people.

Since there are people that have faked their lifestyle until they became popular and rich, this can't work for everybody that have the plan to fake their lifestyle so they can become rich. It is better to be original than to become fake with the intent of become rich am because their is no certainty that people that fake their lifestyle will become rich ultimately. Faking a lifestyle can be expensive and people that want to do that must be prepared if they really want to become fortunate.

if we tell someone about our financial situation, they will give their opinion about it which will cause you unnecessary damage. every person's thoughts and circumstances are not same. their opinion may be about his thoughts real but it may not be much use to you. you should always act your own thoughts rather than relying on someone else's thoughts or opinions. decision taken with personal thought always proves positive for us. it is better to tell others as little about your life circumstances And keep Struggle in your life so you can live a mentally strong and contented life. its always often exaggerate their success in our country, which negatively affects opinions of others but in reality  you should be confident in your hard work and not have to prove anything to anyone.

But it would be unwise to force this condition because looking at the potential for failure, we should know that this condition is not something that can really be forced in the end.

Indeed, there must be a handful of lucky people where they fake their style in life but end up successful because they can take advantage of the momentum they have, but it will not be useful for everyone especially those who try to imitate and follow.
We must stay on the scale of life that suits our conditions because in the end this is an important thing that must be realized from the start so that we are not too lulled by false hopes that try to build but it backfires because we deceive ourselves.
