Rich and the poor who spend the most on luxury?

[BALIK]

Not that rich people don't care about their looks. I guess it's just that they aren't concerned about their looks all the time, unless they make a living from their personal image. Rich individuals are usually pretty busy, so they will naturally tend to go through the simplest way to wear themselves to save time and get more comfortable. Meanwhile, someone who is constantly concerned about his looks will have a hard time thriving, because he spends too much money on worthless things, besides not having enough focus and attention on matters which can help him making more money...

Well said mate, people who make money or are business oriented doesn't care much about their looks and appearance because of their numerous busy schedules, they can even be in the boutique to buy some clothes and receive a call about a business proposal they will just discard buying the clothes to attend to business. This reminds me of my life when I didn't have a job, I was literally having time for worthless things that doesn't add value to my life and I think about what to eat and clothes to wear all the time but immediately i got a job it made me become so occupied as I don't even have the time to wear clothes again even when I have a lot in my wardrobe as most of the time am always with my working coveralls and safety boots so definitely people who thinks much about what to wear or eat are literally people that doesn't have something judicious they engage their time with but for those who have productive things they do with their time they don't care much about material things anymore but rather on things that will bring proceeds for them.

You don't have time to care about dressing or eating, that proves you are not rich and not a real rich person. Who told you that rich people don't care about looks, clothes and food...? Did you know that the seemingly simple outfits worn by billionaires like Elon, Gate, Mark Zuckerberg...come from top brands and are even custom designed for them? Don't let their simple appearance fool you into thinking they are cheap. Not to mention, have you seen any rich people riding bicycles to work, renting houses...or do they go to work in supercars, have private helicopters, live in villas?

Don't say that rich people only spend time making money and don't care about their appearance or health. We have never experienced the lives of rich people, so don't be so quick to judge them just because of the images they want you to see on the internet.

I used to have a boss who dressed very casually, he always wore T-shirts and jeans to work and to parties, and that unintentionally made people misunderstand that he was a frugal boss and didn't care about his appearance. But did you know that every t-shirt and pair of pants that people consider normal is worth thousands of dollars? Even his slippers are the same as mine, and I only bought them for a few dollars while his slippers are from the top brand Nike.

It's not really about being rich or poor. it's more about the state of mind. There are statistics proving that people with lower incomes often spend a bigger percentage of their money on things to fit in, like clothes, shoes, or gadgets, while a lot of wealthy people have already proved themselves, so they don't need to show off. But most millionaires stay in modest houses and drive ordinary cars, so that's not all about luxury to them either.

Ultimately, though, it depends on the individual. Some rich people love their designer stuff; others couldn't care less. Same with the less money-either they like experiences or saving it rather than fancy things. So, neither is a hard-and-fast rule. Not all less well-off people spend their incomes on high-end items; many are equally intent on saving or just barely surviving. More realistically, basic needs-cum-priorities include rent, food, and healthcare for many low-income households. Such people spend on flashy goods just to look rich-this is an ethnocentric stereotype about poverty.

Also, the factors that influence just how anyone spends their money are so numerous: culture, personal values, and even upbringing. Some people, regardless of income class, may simply be more interested than others in fashion or technology. It is not always about flash or acting wealthy.

Maybe that will looks happen to some poor people but not all of them because I am sure the other people will not do that and realizes that they must prioritize their primary needs than tertiary needs. They want to looks good in the other's perception so they will buy luxury things that can helps them to get the attention. To be honest, that will not be necessary because what they must care is how they can fills their primary needs and not living with excessively. 

Wearing expensive cloths and other expensive things is not a sign of being poor but that will only a sign to show that they are fashionable or something like that. They don't think more about anything because they only want to follow the lifestyle and even some people willing not to fills their primary needs but use their money to buy other expensive things. That will be a wrong for them because they prioritize their lifestyle than their primary things.

There is a concept that those who came from dirt (here the concept of dirt is not used) after becoming princes will always emphasize their status. Since being poor, they have developed thousands of complexes about their poor appearance. In the same way, and I observe this in my country, people depend on the opinion of others about themselves. They buy expensive cars and clothes but do not have the most obvious things in their home. I have seen how these people save on everything—food, health, on their children's education—they do not have comfortable housing, but everything that goes beyond their family, they present a successful existence. But if we talk about people with good, and we can even talk about rich wealth, for them, wearing things is primarily determined by convenience and not by prices, since they understand where and at what level they are, and convenience is accepted as self-evident things, without bragging and vanity.

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

The picture that you showed us is misleading. A poor guy cannot buy expensive clotching If you are an average income earner, how can you buy clotches worth thousands of dollars? those who can show off or buy new expensive and branded clotching are those who can afford these and these are rich people.

If you see rich people wearing modest clothes, that's because its in their character and belief in simplicity, but in reality they are the ones who can buy expensive clotching and signature dresses, When you say poor, that is having a hard time meeting their daily needs, so if you're poor, I don't think you will prioritize expensive clotches over paying your bills.

I certainly agree on this. There’s no point a poor guy will dress like a rich one if he is having a hard time in his finances, otherwise if he dress like one, maybe he’s not really that poor. However, with rich people, they can afford all the luxury in life, but that doesn’t mean they still have to show off. Some are just simple in living, and wear simple outfits, but they are rich in all aspects of life most particularly in their finances.

There are several people like to dress to impress since they are going after for attention and want to get the trust of people. Since we can't deny that people think that well dress people is more appealing and this is what scammer take advantage that's why lots of people got scam by those people pretend to be rich and always show their fake richest everywhere even in online space.

But those comparison made by OP doesn't always come in real life since there are rich people always going after for luxurious things and there are poor people settle for less because this is what they can afford.

I think they got caught up with pictures of famous CEO's wearing simple shirt that's why they made this comparison.

I do not think that this is true because we can only see their clothes. The rich will be paying very little to their employees and using that money to get more machinery and get more companies and more factories and make more money. They do not care about their clothing, because they may just purchase another factory for a billion dollars and make more money, whereas the poor dude can't, so what does the poor dude do? He buys an expensive watch he can barely afford.

Believe me, it is not a mindset thing, if you give that poor person a billion dollars, they will not go out and buy an expensive watch, they will go out and buy a good business they can support. How do I know? Because I have been both, never had billions, but whenever I had some money, I used it for further gains, whenever I was poor, I took out loans to get expensive stuff, it works for your future because when you have enough expensive stuff, you can later sell them and make some capital for a business.

I did that many times, from simple stuff like playstations to end up having cars, all by saving items instead of money, because saving money is hard, but paying loans is easier and the more shit I had, the more I sold and raised capital.

Does wearing of expensive cloths, shoes and other expensive things a sign of being poor?

And I thought that if you can afford to wear expensive clothes and accessories you are considered rich because only rich people can buy signature wears and pricey accessories, the poor people if poor by definition can only afford their daily basic needs if they have extra money for these then they are not considered poor.

Or does it mean the rich doesn't wear expensive things or doesn't leave a luxurious lifestyle?

You can be modest and still rich its not about what you wear but your value in terms of dollars and what you posses, some people are very modest and some rich people are very eager to flaunt what they can afford, its all about the character and belief of the individual not really what they have.

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.

Poor doesn't spend that much money on clothes, you are mistaken because the poor can buy cheap Chinese clothes that look fashionable and nice. Poor people spend lots of money on iPhones and cars, I can say that from my experience with interacting with lots of people. You see a bunch of people with iPhones and an expensive car, then you visit them at home and you are amazed why they live in such a bad house if they have such an expensive car and phone.
I know many people locally who earn 300$ per month and still own an iPhone 15 Pro Max. They are in endless bank loans because of an iPhone.

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?

No, it doesn't. What's the point of having wealth if you don't show it off? What's the point of having a mansion if you'll never live there? I think that rich people, who don't wear expensive clothes, simply don't want to wear and prefer to stick old lifestyle that they had. There are type of men who take care of themselves and they are called metrosexuals. There is another type of men who don't care about their looks and that's pretty normal.

Does wearing of expensive cloths, shoes and other expensive things a sign of being poor?

In my opinion, wearing expensive things is not in anyway or directly relating to being poor. It depends on the type of person and how he choose h/her dressing code. What i can tell you is that some middle class people dress nice because they can afford it, and it looks good on them. While some middle class people over spend just to look good or impress their spouse. while the money would have been used for investment rather than spending it unnecessarily on luxury.

Or does it mean the rich doesn't wear expensive things or doesn't leave a luxurious lifestyle?

The rich leave a luxurious lifestyle than the poor or middle class, but the rich wears expensive things but you wouldn't know the worth, if you are not told. And some too will dress simple just for people not know how wealthy they are just as you have said. It's just vise versa.

The picture reminds me of a saying that "the real rich are those who do not show off their wealth", as you show in the picture where the person looks simple, and I have also heard some words from rich people like that where they say that wealth is not something to be shown off but is an advantage that must be enjoyed.

But of course that's only some people or not all rich people are like that, there are also some rich people that I see who like to show off the wealth they have, one of which is with various luxury goods that are used, so of course we can't say that it is an action taken by all rich people, maybe it depends on their personality and desires, and the only thing that I think is a problem is when you force everything that is beyond your ability regardless of whether you are poor, middle class or even rich.

So, I know a few rich people and some that I could call average or slightly below average earners. By looking at they you wouldn't be able to tell who is who, because those average people often have more expensive phones and wear branded clothes.

If you want to see the difference the biggest tell are cars they drive. Average or below average earners will never have a new car. They will always want to show off, so they will often have well made, quality models, but those will be 10 year old cars. Rich families will have a couple of relatively new, 2-3 year old cars in the garage. They will often have a third car just for fun. Yes they will wear clothes that look cheap, but they will often wear expensive perfume and watches.

Another tell is the house. Rich people that I know always have well furnished and spacious homes.

Most poor People like to live flamboyant lifestyles that they can't keep up with just to feel among, well it's said that poverty starts in the mind, been rich isn't about wearing fancy outfits or having all the flashy things, it's about having multiple streams of businesses that generates wealth and having assets that are of high value, having all of these would set your life straight no matter how bad the economy gets. Poor people go after temporary pleasures just to satisfy themselves for that moment forgetting about the future

You cannot judge by appearances alone, just take a look at some of the most famous musicians and actors around the world and you will see they wear the most expensive stuff they can find, and yet there is no doubt that they have a lot of money as well, still it is true there are many people that in their desire to portray an image of being rich and successful buy all kind of stuff they cannot afford, and in that case those purchases will prevent them from achieving the true wealth they are looking for.

I think it depends on the nature of each individual, because it can't be ascertained clearly either. However, if you look at it with your own eyes, I think we will definitely see poor people who tend to spend a lot of money to be able to appear luxurious in front of many people, and in my environment, poor people are like this because maybe I think they are thirsty for praise from others, even worse, some even borrow money just to be stylish, this is actually a bad choice in my opinion.
I agree if you say that poor people spend more money on luxury, because as I said above. While with rich people they tend to prefer to appear simple when going out. But what is right is like that, appearing simple but behind that we have such stable finances rather than being stylish but behind that there are things that can cause us problems. Grin

I agree with you. Rich people are not indifferent to their appearance and they live simply. But the truly rich are at a level where they do not need recognition from others by buying luxury goods. Even for them luxury goods are just ordinary goods that can be bought anytime. I also see some rich people in my area who no longer care about their appearance. They wear what they want. But in fact they buy things without looking at how much they cost. Sometimes they buy a shirt for tens of dollars but they can also buy a watch for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

[mich]

Well we do live in this world where alot is about how much money you do have. So even if a person is poor he will not want to feel poor. So he can buy expensive things so he will get more respect from peers.
But it is not the right thing to do. This person will make himself look rich but then not take care of his family. But for me I think its the rich that does spend more money on these luxury things.

I think for that matter it comes back to each individual, regardless of whether they are rich or not, but for appearance, everyone has their own taste, there are people who want luxury goods for recognition from others and there are also those who want luxury goods with the belief that they have good quality so both rich and poor people will have their own views on it.
In fact, for rich people, they will feel inferior to their relationships if they do not use luxury goods so that their environment forces them to be like that and I think it doesn't matter as long as they can, likewise for poor people, they will try to be able to meet their needs even though it is not feasible for those who are not rich, but I will not blame their desires in life.

Luxury lifestyle mainly depends on the type of vision and needs of people.  There are many poor people who like to live a simple life and they will live a simple life whether their economic condition is bad or good.
And there are some poor people who, despite having no money supply, will live a luxurious life even if they borrow money.  In fact, they are more likely to engage in any type of activity to live a luxurious life than there is a need for them.
There are some people from rich and noble families who live a luxurious life in their hereditary heritage and they do not feel stingy to spend any kind of money for any lifestyle at any time.  Again there are many rich people who despite having a lot of money do not live a luxurious life but prefer to live a simple life like other common people.

The elites you see who show off with luxury items; clothes, cars, jewelries, etc, are probably working on fame. Some of them do this to revitalize their family story, or to get across to other rich men in their vicinity. For instance, a rich family that wasn't known by the public, but have decided to contest for a political power can begin with displaying their wealth to attract people's attention and build more exposure.
