Rich and the poor who spend the most on luxury?

[kawetsriyanto]

Even if they want to look rich, but poor people do not have the capabilities to afford the luxury that rich people can easily get. That's why when it comes to luxurious outfits and materials, it's only the real rich ones can actually afford to buy it, while the poor ones may only afford those class A items, not actually the original ones, so they can still look rich and classy like how the rich ones  were seen.

Exactly. It doesn't make sense that poor people can have outfits valued around $8000. Spending $8000 isn't a habit of poor people, only rich people can do it. At least, they are middle-class people who can buy the expensive outfits. I think it will be more sense if we compare middle-class and high-class people when it is about outfits. 

In my opinion, expensive clothes and goods can be a choice, but it is not an indicator to see whether someone is rich or poor. even many rich people choose a simple lifestyle, while others may dress luxuriously to express themselves. Therefore, to judge someone poor or rich is not measured by what they wear.

I can agree that we can't measure how rich/poor someone based on clothes or goods only. However, when someone is wearing clothes or goods valued thousands dollars, he surely isn't a poor one. We must know how the capability of poor people to spend money. Instead of spending thousands dollars, they are even difficult to get hundred dollars. It is the reality, isn't it?

When it comes to living a life of luxury it depends on the individual involved as we have different people with different mindset there's are Rich people who live a luxurious lifestyle while there are still Among the rich class that decides to live a decent lifestyle to me it all depends on the exposure level of the individual involved and how the person views life in general

I have come across persons who believe in enjoyment so no matter how they find them self they will like to live that life of luxury weather they are poor or not, to them there's no pleasure in living a simple lifestyle when they will eventually die one day and leave everything they have acquired on earth

While on the other hand there are rich people who think of expanding their business empires rather than living a life of luxury to them lt better they leave a legacy for the next generation of people, so critically looking at your question there's really no one that spends more between the rich and the poor but it an individual thing

Expensive clothes or expensive watches or expensive phones are a scheme of these companies.

iPhone and Android are both smart phones and it is possible to do the same with both, but if we buy an Android phone for 200 dollars, we have to buy an iPhone for 2000 dollars. The difference here is social status. We consider someone who buys an iPhone for $2000 as a high-status family member. But those who are really wise will never waste money like this. When we go out wearing a pair of pants but you don't come and ask me how much these pants cost you so why should we waste money in the name of luxury lifestyle, it shouldn't.

Also, do rich people really wear t-shirts that only cost $40-50? Some people say that Mark Zuckerberg, Elon or Gate wear cheap shirts but is that true? I agree that the clothes they wear look very simple but that doesn't mean they are cheap as we think. I find it absurd that rich people who own billions of dollars wear cheap clothes that only cost a few dozen dollars like many people still idolize. Is anyone here a fashion expert?

However, when someone is wearing clothes or goods valued thousands dollars, he surely isn't a poor one. We must know how the capability of poor people to spend money. Instead of spending thousands dollars, they are even difficult to get hundred dollars. It is the reality, isn't it? 

In my country, poor people even have to ask other people for old clothes to wear. They don't even want to spend $2-5 on a new shirt, so how can they have thousands of dollars to buy clothes? I'm really surprised that people take an unsourced photo provided by the OP, and start insulting poor people and claiming that poor people are wasteful.

In my personal opinion, judging whether someone is rich or poor just based on their clothes/appearance, you could say that this assessment will sometimes be a little wrong. Because as seen in the picture, rich people sometimes look simple and poor people sometimes look or wear more luxurious clothes than rich people. This does exist now, but if we draw conclusions only from this limited research, I am sure the results will be a little less relevant. Because in fact, quite a few rich people look cooler with more luxurious clothes. Likewise with underprivileged people, quite a few also dress simply in ordinary clothes. So in this context we cannot judge whether someone is rich or not just in terms of appearance.

Because basically appearance is only limited to style. So it depends on the desires of each individual, whether they are rich or not. The point is, if we talk about style or fashion, almost everyone can look and style like a rich person. Because currently there are lots of famous items/jewelry or clothing brands that are imitated and can be bought at cheaper prices. For example, like gold, currently there is a lot of imitation gold circulating, and the same goes for well-known brands of clothing or shoes. So the conclusion I can get is that we cannot judge whether someone is rich or not if we only look at their appearance. Because basically everyone has different styles and desires.

Poor people actually do not accept the reality that they are poor people, so they try very hard to get attention and validation from other people, while rich people no longer need validation that makes them look rich. There is even a survey that shows that poor people buy more new cell phones than rich people and this fact is undeniable.

That is the reality in our environment, in my opinion they follow a lifestyle that is too excessive to show off their wealth in order to get the social status they want. Usually poor people, as you said above, do not want to be underestimated by their surrounding environment, such as their work environment or home environment.

It's different with rich people, in fact, before they get this wealth, they automatically have experienced bitterness in their lives, of course they know very well how difficult it is to earn money. and they know very well that it takes a lot of time to start or build a business, so they value the money they get much more than wasting it uselessly. So he prioritizes his family's future in building as much of his business as possible rather than buying an expensive brand that is useless.

There are indeed wealthy people who do really still loves to show off their wealth and would really be wearing up those luxury items as much as possible. Although they arent really that too tactful or being that too obvious but for those who do know on what luxury items or things would be then they would really be able to spot out that those things arent cheap. There are some wealthy people who would be choosing up to live
on a life on which they do really look simple and its something that you cant be able to obviously tell that they are rich but in behind they are the ones who could be able to sustain up themselves in speaking about financial related situations on which we know that poor people will really be able to struggle out. Its true that there are really those people who are sitting on poor situation do really have those kind of behavior
on which despite of that financial struggle they do really tend to choose up on buying something luxurious even if it means that they will really be taking up some loan for it to be acquired which is really that a foolish
step to be made on. This is why it will really be that important that you should really be that making use of your own common sense on trying out to re-assess whether your actions are really that something
ideal or something that would really be putting you on great trouble.

As I was scrolling through my Facebook I saw this photo and how the image discribes the poor to be a kind of people that wears expensive thing to impress people to look like the rich, and the other way round, the rich appears to be simple probably not to be noticed as a rich person. My question now is that,

Does wearing of expensive cloths, shoes and other expensive things a sign of being poor? Or does it mean the rich doesn't wear expensive things or doesn't leave a luxurious lifestyle?

The images is just some kind of social media fun act if we know what been poor is you will know with even been told the the image representing the poor guy the cost of things he wore will tell you that he is not poor guy but rich because a poor man can't afford it that is by the way.

Between the poor and rich spending the most on luxury depends on individual been because there are some rich men that spends millions in dollar on luxury why there also some rich men that don't spend on luxury that is the individual aspect of it.

If you really know what been poor is you will know that the poor can never spend on luxury anybody you see that spends on luxury is not a poor person but a rich person.

And one thing appearance doesn't differentiate been poor or rich there are some things that you will see that look simple but they are very expensive.

[Smartvirus]

I have come across the picture in the OP a few times and as much as it makes sense to me, the rich trying to look rather slick and simple, the poor are always aiming to be the glamour of the show, to steal the red carpet and be the talk on everyone’s lip.
However, I think there are levels to luxury. Perhaps them cloths and those apparels that presents you outwardly in a way that would call for attention and appreciation makes it for the poor, the rich does it in a different way and style.

Lunching this and that program, fancy parties and even buying those luxury watches and cars. Trying to own this and that Island, that’s just the rich people lifestyle.

I disagree. This happens in real life, poor people often live a lifestyle that they cannot afford. Whether it’s having more kids than they can afford to raise or living in an apartment that is above their budget, poor people often find themselves in situations that keep them in debt. The image in the OP depicts a reality that is common in every part of the world. Give a poor man a small fortune, and he will suffer from imposter syndrome. A poor person who just made a little money will spend it all trying to look the part of a rich person.

Therefore, to judge someone poor or rich is not measured by what they wear.

Indeed, in the end, a person's lifestyle influences what they might do. If he has a large income and is rich, but if his lifestyle is ordinary, then whatever he wears will look very expensive and good, but the price is not necessarily because he is not luxurious or simple, but it can be the opposite. There are those who are already trendy and want to use it because they can afford it, of course it doesn't matter, it will be a problem if he can't afford it and wants to be stylish, of course it will harm him.
I agree, someone's rich or poor is not easy to measure from the appearance they have used so far, it could be the opposite of what is real.

[Peanutswar]

Actually there's nothing wrong to make look rich as long as you cater that kind of habit and of course if there's a casual event that makes you get bigger network. In my perspective people who are in the middle class I guess not in poor brcause they dont want to look like others who can't afford those things or could be they just want to get look great and worst case is just to flex to other people. People sometimes treasure and becomes tropy in those expensive clothes but again does it return a good profit no it's an expenses already and rich people mindset knew that reason why they wear casual , invest more in other assets give them a good cash flow money and they will bought it after if they really need it.

[UTON Blockchain]

We don't use the same unit of measurement for money as the rich do; buying a luxury item for them is as easy as buying a carton of eggs.

Maybe this is more precisely on self-awareness of one's own circumstances, because indeed in my environment this also happens and it is true that rich people usually appear simpler compared to poor people who always want to appear luxurious by forcing themselves to be seen by many people even though perhaps, this happens to those who are poor but are not aware of their circumstances. In addition, there are young people whose family's economic situation is middle to lower but they force themselves to appear rich with the aim of wanting to be seen as luxurious by others, but it is not strange that there are those who are in debt or the goods they own are paid for in installments. For poor people who are self-aware, I think that even when they have a lot of money they will not spend all the money they have, this is more about self-awareness in my opinion. Because even with the rich, if they really want to be seen as luxurious by many people, they will appear excessive.

[ChiBitCTy]

Of course there are both rich and poor people alike who wear expensive clothes.  Now overall I would have to say that I see poor and middle class type people as the ones who tend to spend money in the least efficient ways, and for a large part that's exactly why they are poor or not well off.  This is not to say I don't see wealthy people wearing nice expensive clothes, they do, but I just dont see it as much.  They seemed to be much more frugal in this aspect.

@Pokapoka124, can you tell us if you are rich or poor and how you spend money in life? Do you represent the rich or the poor? How can you know that all the poor in the world are spendthrifts and the rich are savers? Is poverty a sin? Are all poor people greedy, evil, wasteful, and thoughtless of the future? What is the purpose of this thread when I see most people jumping in to mercilessly criticize the poor and pretend you are all rich?

I live in a third world country, with an estimated 87 million Nigerians living in poverty so I think I’m in a good position to have a conversation about this topic. I didn’t say poor people are evil, greedy, or thoughtless. My point is far from it. I only gave my opinion on the topic based on my personal experience with rich & poor people in my environment.

You are right, but not all poor people have that kind of behavior. We cannot draw conclusions that all people are the same, sometimes this does not correspond to what we see. Personal branding is sometimes necessary to attract attention and for other purposes that result in financial gain, but not for lifestyle (especially for those who are poor). So some may exist as you are talking about, but they are a minority.

There are poor people who make their economic situation worse by spending unnecessary money and wearing expensive clothes. The reason why most of these people are poor or below a certain economic level is because they use their financial resources inefficiently. Inefficient use of financial resources causes a person's economy to deteriorate.

Rich people are good at using their money efficiently. Problems such as inefficient use of money often show us that individuals need to act and behave appropriately according to their economic conditions in order to achieve a better economic situation.

Why do me keep emphasizing on the poor aspect while their are so many rich people out their that don't waste time to go for the latest shoes, wrist watches, cars and phones when the fund can be diverted into something tangible and be rewarding in the future. It is good we understand the reason why we are in existence because this will help us understand how we need to leave life without impressing the public to make decisions for us. The poor might not even have enough to eat for the belle while someone else is spending on luxuries. People are really suffering eating from hand to mouth while some rich kids are busy jumping from one party to another.
