Imo faking it is pointless and stressful long term. People who are really doing well usually don’t care about your financial status anyway. I prefer being neutral and honest without oversharing. Using successful people as motivation is healthier than trying to impress them. Everyone’s timeline is different.
yeah it's only broke people that fake to be rich while their dieing in poverty, when people fake things what do they really want to achieve, it just a very poor mentality to fake it till you make, people won't trust you ever, once they find out that what you claim to be ,is not who you are.
It's better you, have a rich model and try to do what's his doing in your little way, till you achieve it, instead of deceiving yourself by faking what you don't have just to impress your gullible fellowers. It's happens among celebrities, they post things they don't have just to maintain their celebrity status. This act will result to many negative things, one can start stealing just to meet up their fake lifestyle.
It's truly strange to see people pretending to be rich to show off and gain validation. Typically, such people never become rich because they only seek recognition from others, not their own.
I believe modeling rich people and associating with them can be quite influential in improving our quality of life and relationships, leading us to achieve wealth or even become rich, as motivation to do the same. There are many things we can do, but the most important thing is to never hide our true social status.
