Do people really aim to be rich to show-off

[Josefjix]

Can you be a "rich poor man" or you really care about showoff

However, I will sum it up by saying that rich or poor people can show off or not, based on their human nature ''be calm and humble or too loud"

Nature does not lie, behavior as well as the energy of a person does not also lie. A video I watch by a woman sometimes ago on social media said, she stumbled across Mark Zuckerberg somewhere in the US, she said Mark was so calm, gentle and wasn't loud, he was easy to talk to, and understand humanity. Everyone knows Mark dressing isn't luxurious, just a black T-shirt showing f on the left hand chest side.

Mark nature is simple, but other's nature are very lousy.

I don't care about showoff but I cannot be a rich poor man. I believe that money should reflect on how a man presents himself in public, what he eats and where he lives. These things should not be regarded as showoff, it should be seen as something normal as long as such can be financed without being under any financial pressures. Showoff is when the person is living above his means and under intense financial pressures to impress people who do not even care.

Showing off is part of being considered rich, rather be motivated to show off and become wealthy instead of staying humble while poor. The difficulty in becoming wealthy shouldn't be undermined, every wealthy person deserves to live in the best house, wear the best dress, and have the best accessories, if you consider it part of showing off, it's yours to deal with.

It's quite surprising that "show off" is a motivating factor to be rich for many. What if nobody cares, would they consider being rich. This likely will be a desperate group of people who would lack patience and easily fall to the temptation of overnight riches.
As for the rich ones who can live poor, I think they will do well managing a country or even businesses, and will also be very patient people and less financially corrupt. It'll be much better to live or invest in countries, organizations or businesses run by such people since they are more likely to focus on wellbeing of people rather than to make as much money as possible to live selfishly/extravagantly.

There is no rich person that is live like a poor person, quote me anywhere. A rich person can decide to live a classic and simple life but they don't live like a poor person. Do you know what it means to be poor? Have you see the kind of food poor person eat? You think a peesn will be rich and will want to eat unhealthy food. As far as poor is concerned, poor means poverty and a rich person can't be subject himself to such humility because he thinks it's the best, if he thinks that way they he is not rich.

As for Rich people that show off, I think it's in the nature of human that money makes the world revolves around. Money gives you freedom, it opens door for you, it never makes you lack, it gives you one of the best medical access, been rich means been financial okay, so why not show off and leave your life. If you are rich and you want to show off, that's fine by me and if you still don't want to show off, that's still fine by me. It's a choice.

When it comes to wealth. I don't think most people in their mind thing about showing off. It may look or seem like that. But they are mostly hiding. But that's not to say that there are not people who are actually showing off. There are people like that. But saying most people want wealth to show off is just wild for me.

What most poor people do is to appear wealthy. But they are not. All dressed nice and flashy and their account balance is screaming for help.

And there are people who want to be rich to escape poverty and be able to live a comfortable life.. This group of people are less likely to live poor or be selfless but their top priority is not to show off. They are more concerned about self and family.

I think this is the first stage, if they're living in poverty they want to escape from that and aim for better financial. Later when they achieve the stability in their financial they start demanding something more and somehow to fulfill their lifestyle, show off to everyone if they're able to buy something expensive too.

Show off motivating for them to make reckless financial decision, forcing their financial to take something that they don't actually need instead buying what they really needed. They want praise/recognition from people on social media and real life, they want everyone not to look down on them. I agree show off will motivate people to become rich but the motivation not always to show off

I don't see anything wrong with living a comfortable life and a luxurious life for myself and my family. People work hard from their respective places just to be a little better. Now if someone's financial condition improves a lot and if he wants to live a luxurious life, then I don't see a problem in that. But the problem for that person can only be when he spends money unplannedly and when his means of earning money gradually start to shrink. So, along with living a good life, a person should try to enrich his business more, try to grow his business so that money keeps coming to him from multiple sources. If he lives a showy life by doing all this, then it is still okay from his point of view.

[Nwadiche]

It's not really bad showing off, but don't over showed outsiders that this is what you have or whom you really are. The richest people today don't show off what they have, most of them dressed like who has nothing. I think is only those who has nothing keep showing off the little they have, they buy some expensive things just to let people know they have little money with the but the richest people didn't do such thing.

[Obari]

At the end of the day, nothing really matters as death is the final destination for everyone  living and that is why me as a person I want to be very rich and b a bike to live a very comfortable and happy life and be able to help my family my friend and the people around me without necessarily making the next person feel less of himself.
And this into day that, I want to get rich but not to show us but to better my life and that of the people around me.

[Opiate32]

Sometimes when you buy things that at some point you couldn’t afford doesn’t mean that you’re showing off, it’s just that you are finally enjoying what you worked hard for. This is not lack of maturity, the difference to me is whether you enjoy your own wealth or you still depend on other people reaction before you feel successful.

There is absolutely nothing wrong to live well and buy expensive things if you can afford them but when you start to prove that you have made it become more important than enjoying what you have made then wealth starts to serve your ego than your life.

The other day I was considering a statement I made about living poor, and later realized that it could be a de-motivating factor for people who aim to be rich in order to show off or flaunt the riches. I think this group are in the majority which explains why most rich people's homes or properties have lots of fanciful and unnecessary things.
There is another group who wouldn't care whether their riches are known about or not as long as they are useful to others/society... This should be the minority.

people want to be rich. A rich man wants to be more richer. suppose someone buy a brand new car, a I phone or something expensive. other people also want it. that mentality motivate them for showing off. some people who are not enough rich as per how they lead their life. they use costly products what is hardly affordable for them. that is show off. and people do it. that is common human characteristic. but a man who is really rich he doesn't want to show off. even he also hide his financial condition from others. 

[EarnOnVictor]

I believe you assumed too much about this, and the majority may not want to deliberately show-off their wealth, but true wealth and riches are loud on their own, so it might amount to a show-off to some people, but they are just living their lives since they can afford luxury and flashy things. This is normal, as it attracts. However, some people truly like to show-off; that is a fact, but not the majority.

Can you be a "rich poor man" or you really care about showoff

Yes, this is not only possible, but it's happening every time. You might have the money and still choose to live a modest lifestyle. Practically, many millionaires live a simple life.

[Iconic_J]

It all depends on the individual and what they define as being rich. I know people who want to be rich just for their personal comfort and don’t have an interest to become popular or known. But sometimes money can bring you out to the public and certain attentions on you in a way you never expected.
Although, there are people whose main aim of getting rich is to show off and feel among. So at the end of the day, if you belong to the first or second category of people i just mentioned, the truth is that you mostly can not hide when you have money and some people may see it as show off.

Indeed, this has always been common among people. But in recent decades, with the emergence and development of social media, where "success" is cultivated, this cult of vanity has become widespread. People even go into debt in order to "appear rich and successful". A status-based culture of consuming certain goods, services, and entertainment has emerged. In general, this is easily explained: a new demand has been created, based on arrogance.

Under capitalism as a whole, new markets and demand can be created either extensively (expansion, colonization) or intensively (creating new internal needs). The latter is what has been happening for several decades now. And to create a new need and demand, one must either create something new and necessary (a car, household appliances, a computer), which is far from easy, or instill an imagined need by exploiting the most base instincts (using, for example, vanity, gluttony, debauchery, etc.), which is much simpler and faster.

Many industries exist only thanks to this; for example, mass tourism and travel. Another vivid example: fashion. And it’s from such sub-demands that the main demand is formed - the conspicuous status. Why conspicuous? Because often most boastful people merely imitate wealth. As they say: money loves quiet.

[Supreme Donvic]

There are people who just want to be rich so they can show off and this set of people actually do everything possible to make sure that they are rich, they can even do illegal things just to achieve that and their interest is just to brag and show off their wealth, those who understand life and understand the importance of comfort won't be interested in making money and showing off.
Someone like me no matter the amount of money I have I will never show off I'm always very simple and people around me don't even know how rich I am.

For me, wealth is not bragging about what you have, but rather not having to struggle economically and learning what to do and how to do it with money, learning how to earn it and how to use it in the best way in our life and in the life of our environment. For me personally a better lifestyle is to live comfortably and not luxuriously.

I understand your point but if I may ask you, what's wrong with living a luxurious life as long as you can afford it? You work hard for the money, so why shouldn't one enjoy it to the fullest when it finally comes? How else do you want to reward yourself for working hard for the money? The only problem I see with living a luxurious life is when you are faking it to impress people around you but you can not really afford that lifestyle. But as long as you can afford it without struggling, please enjoy the moment while it lasts. Living a luxurious lifestyle is not bragging, it's just you enjoying the fruit of your hard work but people that probably envy you will see it as bragging.
