Do people really aim to be rich to show-off

[Bright0515]

Showing off wealth is a sign of immaturity, there is no point in flaunting because you don't even know if the next person you are trying to impress has way more than you do, this is something that a lot of people with this mentality fail to realize. Showing off is pointless and it shows that you have a low mentality.

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.

Those who are not well trained at home by their parents and family members are the ones like to show off their wealth in the public and even their speak they have pride. Illiteracy can also cause that. We see those group of people most specifically with the fiat bank note era and now that everyone is digital and bitcoin is used massively and for the fear of hacking, everyone maintain some degree of privacy therefore showing off their wealth in the internet is limited to some extend.

From a neutral stand point, I don't think everyone should be constraint to be limited way of thinking, showing off has to deal with the perspective of others, I can stand proud of my work I've put in to get rich and some one might interpret it as showoff. But I still don't get it though, just because I am well trained at home is shouldn't but expensive clothes because someone else will perceive it pride ? I don't care for all that the aim is to be happy, we should do whatever makes us happy

While some are making money and showing it off others are too busy making investments, the reason why a lot people think that they can show off the money they make is because they assume that people are watching them but I figured out something crazy about life, our mind works in such a way that we think that people are focused on us but in real sense a lot of people are focused on building their life.

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

I don't think that if someone is rich showing off is always necessary but there are people whose main motive is showing off. There are people who are struggling they want to be rich they want to have financial security and also they wish to give better life to their families. Where as there are people who just enjoy the recognition and the social status that they gain by having expensive things. Luxury is always a personal preference, it is not always an attempt to impress the people around you. The main and the real wealth is having freedom to afford anything that you need without being pressurized. A person who has expensive properties they drive luxury cars but still they are living a very modern simple life within their resources they are trying to prove their lives they have better understanding of wealth. The problem rises when this showing of become the main goal rather than the result of financial success

Your opinion leads me to one question, then is it any good for us to show off? I mean, what do we get out of that behavior? I understand this and what you say is also true that it is better for us to focus on our own lives rather than being too busy taking care of other people's views, but on the other hand, that is human nature, there are always some of them who are hungry for validation and praise that can make them feel satisfied, but also sometimes this kind of behavior is needed by some people with certain goals, such as for example to attract people's attention with the aim of increasing popularity which can also indirectly bring money.

Yes, you touched a sensitive point, and I guess that is in fact what most happens. It's not about the rich individual showing off, but about people around in society not accepting the lifestyle of the rich individual: a mix of envy, frustration and inferiority which may trigger a defensive mechanism of accusing the other person of showing off.

If people around weren't annoyed by the rich person, they wouldn't even pay attention to the hypothesis of that person to be showing off.

Old money do not necessarily show off their wealth because they do not have the need to prove themselves to anyone. New money however often fall into the trap of being too loud about their wealth, I believe they do so in a way to compensate for the years they didn’t have money. What they don’t realise is that showing off your wealth only attracts bad actors and people who just want to take from you. I’d rather be rich and live quietly than be in the spotlight. Of course that’s hard for most people in this generation to do because they are addicted to the allure of fame.

Sometimes I wonder if the person is showing off their wealth or if it's their way of expressing joy and enjoying their hard work. It could be that what we perceive and call showing off is envy. I admit that sometimes we are too quick to judge the happiness of others based on what we see at first glance.

I don’t know how you got to envy from what I said. There are good and bad people out there so when you decide to show your wealth, you’re exposing yourself to danger. But like I said before, people have freedom to do whatever they choose to do with their life, they just need to be prepared to face the consequences of their choices as well.

There are different types of people living in society and each of them has different mental outlook. Some in society follow a showy lifestyle. Others are just struggling to make a living. There are many rich people in society who have become rich by exploiting the poor. Therefore, there are many rich people in society who cannot do social good by becoming rich. If you look closely at society today, you will see that there are many rich people who only show off and do not want to waste their wealth, especially if their wealth decreases and their wealth deteriorates. If they lose their wealth, then later they will not be able to follow a showy social life.

[Bit-Mj1014]

It's 50 50 some aim to be rich to show-off and some don't, it's matter personality in some cases, although in some money happens, what I mean by money happens is when money changes the actual character of the person, most of us have seen this happen.
What I want to really emphasize on is personality, some people just like to show of with or without having money they just look for a way feel financially superior to the next person even if in real sense that's not the case.

I don't like showing off and people who show off but I do understand it is simply a human fault we all have, and it is noble to go against this fault (or at least try).

If men could get a woman with a cardboard house, they would not care about money that much.  

Maybe showing off wealth is a part of human biology, which has developed throughout human evolution? Like being afraid of the dark or our urge to live in a community of other human beings I am not going to throw blame or point fingers at people who show off wealth, but it is definitely immature and should be looked down upon.

Well, just accept the fact that there are really people born to show-off, or some are also influenced with what they are seeing in their own environment. If that will make them happy, then so be it.

But honestly, there's no reason to show-off when you know wealth is temporary. If you think you are rich because you are holding massive amount of bitcoin or you have multiple investments you owned so far, then don't be so confident. Bitcoin may always drop its price and bring losses to those who end up panic selling, and even traditional investments lose its value when they are no longer making such huge demand from the market.

[bakasabo]

The term "rich" is far too broad. How to measure who is rich and who is not? I think people wish to become rich because they want to spend money without looking on the price tag and to worry about tomorrow, rather than to show-off. Moreover, I think a person does not need a lot of money to show-off that he is rich, it isnt that expensive to imitate that you are rich. From the other side, being rich not always can be expressed with thing you want to show or other see you. All the luxury things people notice you have only mean they are expensive.

Being wealthy is not a bad thing. While wealth or poverty can influence a person’s behavior, what truly matters is the ability to remain a good person in either circumstance. Being a good person is priceless, it is something that cannot be bought with money. Those who are both wealthy and good-hearted lead lives worthy of emulation, serving as role models for others through their actions.

Achieving success and wealth while simultaneously cultivating one’s character to become a good person is a positive development. Being a good person is something of value at every moment of one’s life.

Class is also a choice. If you have the means to be wealth and has wealth that gives you name and you decided to show off, it's because you deserve it. I don't know why people think because you have money you must have express to people you don't have. If prefer to show to the world and you are legit, and also you pay your tax, you can do whatever you want and if you get robbed one day for not been private, it's your business as well I guess

I think people deserves any happiness they choose to have. Some people that complain about wealthy men that shows off are saying that because they are not in such position. Let's the financial status be switch and you will see what some people are made up. They will be the loudest man with money in their region.

It’s actually risky to show off because you’re rich,most people are sitting behind watching your expensive lifestyle and they might be attracted to scam you or attack you physically,We have heard read a lot stories on how people who were attacked physically in other for them to reveal their bitcoin holdings and if we search further what led to that occurrence we’ll find out that those victims were too blunt about their holdings in public and on the internet.So if you’re ready to face the consequences of showing off then you can post your expensive lifestyle on social media platforms,there’s nothing wrong in doing that but the question is how secured are you?if you aren’t secured then consider keeping your lifestyle on a low-key.

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.

People who have the intention to become rich just so that they can show off are people who are often from a poor background or an environment plagued with poverty. If you stay in a very good environment, you will notice that people there are not in competition with one another and there is hardly anything that you would acquire as a property that other people around you do not already have, so it is nothing new to them. This should be the kind of environment that people should aim to live in, an environment that exposes your mindset.

We can't deny that living in today's era their urge to show off often becomes the main motivation for them to chase wealth, especially those who come from underprivileged backgrounds. When they live in environments full of limitations instant wealth feels like a shortcut to prove themselves. But if no one cares or admires them that drive can fade because the main goal isn't financial independence but social recognition or approval from others.

This is very different from old rich people who usually choose to live quietly because they don’t have to prove anything while a lot of new rich people are still trapped in thinking they have to show off everything. In fact, showing off wealth often attracts people who just want to take advantage or have bad intentions, not to build relationships. But we can’t really blame them because nowadays doing that is normal due to the fame culture on social media even though the truth is the most valuable wealth is being able to live peacefully without always being in the spotlight of others.

[Makus]

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.

They say that the real enemy is against poverty and that is actually a fact, people who think about upgrading or elevating themselves From poverty, people that focus on this don't have that time to show off to others because there's no point in doing that. People who focus on starting up business and building their lives don't even care about people's validation.

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

A lot of wealthy people don't care about showing others that they are rich, this isn't about being a rich poor man but they don't come out to flaunt a luxurious lifestyle, it is all about the mindset that they have, those with a poor mentality are the ones that try to show others that they are rich.

[Ab de villiers]

For some people their or aim of getting rich is because they are desperate for others to know that they have money, they see every thing that they want to acquire as a way to get validation from others. I feel like If you only want to get rich simply because you want people around you to know you are rich then it means that you don't really have prospect or direction of what you actually want in life.

Yes, you are right. There are many people who show off their wealth, but not everyone shows off their wealth. There are people who help others and do not show off themselves. But there are some people who show off their wealth too much, which is wrong. Maybe there are some people who do not have wealth, they fulfill their needs with a sigh, but the rich think too much of themselves. They think that I am powerful, I am the ruler, they do not respect the poor, they do not consider them to be important. But this is very wrong. This should not happen. But if we say that being rich is wrong, then it is not wrong. Being rich fulfills many of our desires. It becomes a means of higher education for our children. We all should work hard for our children, for ourselves, for our future so that an easy life awaits us. Money is not a bad thing, it is just that people who show off money.  They are doing wrong, they shouldn't be doing that.

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

I cannot be a rich poor man, niether do I care about show off.
Your description of show off doesn’t describe show off, because what do you mean by making the interiors of my house fancy enough to my comfort levels s show off, then how am I supposed to enjoy my sweat then? Food?
I cannot work soo hard to remain where I am, if the only this that changes in a rich man’s life is his bank or wallet balance, that’s not saving, it’s self greed.

I’ll not lie it’s not healthy to show off it may expose you to certain dangers that you can’t even afford to save yourself from. But none of the categories pictures showing off. And if you’re to categorize people and their finances aspirations, them your classifications are incomplete. What will you then say about the people that live rich without having a dime? What is show off without them?

[savetheFORUM]

It's actually not about being rich and living like a poor, but it's about not caring what people think or do anything to show anyone that you have a lot of money. It's true that a lot of people love to show off what they have, they like to make others feel lower than them, especially those who are not so blessed, and if you have ever observed, people with such mentalities are often those who haven't earned their richness themselves, they have either got it by luck, or they have inherited what they have, earned by their father, grandfather, or other ancestors, and have been passed on to them, and now they think there is no one above them, and that's a pathetic mentality to have, if you ask me.

People who work hard and finally become rich, they would never think of showing off their money or richness to others, and such people would also not work hard so that they can become rich and eventually get to show off what they have gained, they will be focused on building a good life for themselves and their loved ones, they will be making investments, starting new business, and be busy with their own life and have no time to have such useless thoughts or habits. As I said, only those who have gone their richness as inheritance or through luck will have enough space in their brains for such ideas.

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

The problem is not the the rich show up, is you that's poor that see their activities as show up, there is no way you will have money and not drive the best cars and live a good life,  most times poor people mistaken good life as show up,  it's good to enjoy if you have plenty,  but never oppress people that's what am against about rich people,  dome don't know how to is their wealth, they use it to oppress the poor that's the only nagetive thing from the rich that I dint value at all,  they behave like they own thr world,  aside this it's good to be rich, there is so much joy and happiness.

You point is valid that being wealthy and someone enjoying comfortable lifestyle is not something people should criticize . If someone has worked really hard, they have built wealth, then there is nothing wrong in driving luxurious cars, expenses items, owing beautiful house, enjoying the benefit of their hard work but I don't think that every criticism of rich people lifestyle is because of the jealousy . There are people who are concerned about the way the wealth is being displaced or it is being used. There is clear difference between enjoying your success and also making someone feel less or inferior because they have less money then you. Money give people more comfort and freedom, it does not make  superior over others. And remaining humble is the best approach and treating everyone with respect is the way to life.
