Do people really aim to be rich to show-off

[Borbb]

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.

The same reason they’re some persons who just values spending money over expensive flashy things include;wares,phones Etc in order to impress others who don’t have, just to show off so they could be recognized as a wealthy person faking to live a life they can’t afford. Showing off your wealth simply means exposing yourself,puting yourself at risk it will make people discovered when you have and when you didn’t.

In my perspective actually dangerous to flaunt your wealth because most people are watching your lavish lifestyle and may be tempted to scam you or physically attack you. We've heard a lot of stories about people who were physically attacked in order to reveal their bitcoin holdings, and if we look further into what caused that to happen, we'll discover that the victims were too forthright about their holdings in public and online.the internet.

 You can share your opulent lifestyle on social media if you're prepared to deal with the fallout. There's nothing wrong with that, but how secure are you? If you're not secure, think about leading a low-key lifestyle.

Specially in our times today, if you go to your social media, for sure there are criminals that are going to put your in their target. Just like recently, here in our local news, there was one social media influencer who became a target because he flaunts his expensive motors and cars.

Luckily for him he was not killed as the bullet just hit his legs. But still though, what if the worst happen to him because he was so naive to show his riches. Mind you, he got all that wealth being a crypto trader so he will be a target again and again for sure specially if the market goes on a bull run in the next coming years as criminals would now that he will make a lot of money by then.

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.
 
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.

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.

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

Showing off does not always carry a negative connotation. Dor me, everytime human being taking ad decision thre will alwasy be economic motive (economic incentive) that triggering or underlies. What I see in daily life, humans act based on the maximization of utility (satisfaction/benefit). Particularly in business, utility is maximized through social status, recognition, and networking, so showing of are economic instruments to increase their bargaining power in business or high society circles. Even people who live simply and focus on social well-being also have economic motives.

As businesman, economically, i see positif side of showing off, sthe existence of a showing up group making the wheels of the economy are turning, their demand create many innovations, new businesses, and job opportunities. Especially high end class, they who like to spend for purchasing luxury goods or grand properties are the primary consumers who sustain market liquidity. Can you imagine we can face stagnation if every rich people kept their money on their wallet.

Based on my own experienxce, in the business world, we must sometimes display certain symbols of wealth to convince investors, clients or consumer that our business is successful and stable. In this context, showing off sometimes for me are rational marketing strategy.

In my opinion a lot of people that aim to show off don't really have ambition, there are lots of things to do with money and also better reasons to become financially stable, working hard with the aim of trying to prove to others that you are richer or better than them is a pointless thing to do. Being rich doesn't mean that you have to run it in the face of others, as someone that's mature mentally it's important to be able to mind your business and focus on whatever pays you. Showing off is a mentality of a poor man.

Showing off is not the mentality of a poor man as you said, poor people don't show off. Maybe you can put it that a poor man who later made money is the one who likes showing off so that people will know that he has arrived and he is no longer poor. There are many billionaires that you won't even hear anything about them on the internet or the news but they have been doing their things low key for years. There are some billionaires i heard about recently and in my town but these are people that we don't hear about and they have never been in any controversy or tried to make themselves popular for ones. I think that showing off is a mentality exhibited by people who wants to oppress other people who are not up to their status.

[salad daging]

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.

It can be measured from his life and his luxury goods, you may be able to see with a luxury house, a collection of expensive cars so much, expensive watches, luxury bags can be said that the characteristics of rich people who want to show off, usually they will continue to upload on their own social media to validate their wealth.

While there is also the word does not show off his wealth, not even in the know by the public, this depends on the individual in my opinion, in my own area the rich often show off in the end.

I think I will be one of those people who genuinely care about showing off their wealth. The reason is that  the world we are living in money plays a major role in how society treats you. If you want to earn respect and have a certain status in society, you have to show people your wealth. No matter how wealthy you are if you don't show it many people won't recognize your financial status or give you the respect . I know this might not be the best mindset but honestly  for me these two things respect and social status matter a lot . That's why i really care about showoff in my life.

And to me I don't think it's immaturity that makes some people to flaunt their wealth, some people are just made of the habit of not able to keep things to themselves.

While some possible aren't planning on doing so but were been oppressed or betrayed me in the past, and might want to let those people knows what they are capable of.

The same reason they’re some persons who just values spending money over expensive flashy things include;wares,phones Etc in order to impress others who don’t have, just to show off so they could be recognized as a wealthy person faking to live a life they can’t afford. Showing off your wealth simply means exposing yourself,puting yourself at risk it will make people discovered when you have and when you didn’t.

Some people do also show off their wealth to impress women, there are many people that do go to any length to make money just to spend on any woman they tends to date or flex with.

There are people that also can't buy or eat healthy foods and can't give anyone that needs it, but as you said can buy wears or accessories worth plenty of money just for posing and show off.

I've also noticed from similar patterns that often happen anywhere in the world that many rich people tend to hide their wealth rather than show it off. Usually, people who are truly rich just focus on freedom, security and enjoying life, not on flaunting social status. Showing off does happen, but that's more often a trait of people who just got rich or feel the need for validation not the majority of those who are financially wealthy.

Usually, people who flaunt wealth are actually ones struggling to buy flashy items with debt maintaining appearances while their savings are almost empty. Wanting to be rich just to show off can push someone to keep striving, but a longer-lasting motivation usually comes from wanting to have control over your own life. True wealth usually doesn’t really need validation.

I can understand what you are saying sometimes that is indeed how things are. However, my own perspective on this is somewhat different. Showing off your wealth can invite crime, whether within your own circle or elsewhere this is extremely dangerous. More importantly, your life could be put at risk and your life is far more valuable than the possessions you are flaunting. I believe that if you attain wealth, it is best to conduct yourself in a modest and natural way that way, you can go anywhere without having to worry about becoming a target for criminals. When we or anyone else choose to live in a modest, unassuming manner, we are effectively constructing an invisible shield that protects ourselves and our families from the malicious intentions of others. After all, one life and peace of mind are far more valuable than the fleeting validation of others. Social status built upon fear and security threats can never lead to true happiness.

Some will be showing off intentionally while some do that unintentionally, and when someone is rich then they will be spending money on thing that will be absurd in the eyes of an average middle-class person but this can be a motivating factor or they just get pissed about the action, which entirely depends on how they perceive this from their view.

Yea I think this is subjective to individual. Some people are just living their normal life and people assume it’s a show off because the lifestyle is kind of expensive, While some people are living above their means to show off because they want to be seen in the society as the rich folks. I don’t see living about your means as a way to motivation but rather a reckless way of living life. And I think that was where op was driving at from his main post.

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

Some people which we think are showing off are not really doing that, we think they spending on expensive things just to show off, but those are the things which they want, and it’s not really show off. When rich people are spending, they see it as normal thing, but when poor people see them spending, they do think it’s a show off, and the reason why I feel they have that kind of mentality is because they are poor. The money which a rich person might be seeing as a little amount of money, it’s going to be a huge amount of money to poor people, so they going to think it’s just a show off when rich people are seen with expensive things.

There are some amount of money which you can’t really pretend to be poor when you have it, people will definitely know that you are wealthy, you don’t have to show off before people know. Seriously I will like to be rich poor man, I just want to leave a comfortable life with my family members, I don’t have to show off, that’s not the reason why I want to be wealthy.

This particular topic was discussed somewhere outside the forum recently and in my own opinion, I told them that "show-off" syndrome is more of an individuals character than financial status. There are very rich and quiet people and there are others rich people who will seize every opportunity they get to announce their financial status to people around them. That's the same way you see two middle class people but one is doing more to show off that they're doing better than the other even when they're in the same tax bracket.

Showing off is not a good way of showing off your money rather helping people that are not able to meet their daily need is a better way of showing off as you will be doing good for the community and also showing off your money that you have enough. When you do good with your money, it will remove evil eyes from you and you will get more blessings.

The influencer was lucky but others do not get this lucky and they just ide like that then they get to not enjoy all the money they have been working for. Social media has pressured people into showing off because that is the way of the internet but we do not have to be like that rather, we should learn to make use of our money to help our community and then watch how the communiy will be the ones protecting us from any harm because they know what they are benefiting.

A very rich person will not show off for anything because he has made so much money so his wealth and investments will do the talking for him but you see those people who go about showing off and telling people how much they have, I think they have got little things and they newly made money because money doesn't hide it hides the companies you own will do the advert for you.

You can't see Elon musk coming out to show off he lets his investment and his new discoveries do the talking unlike some people who just made their first millions they they will most likely let the world know that they just made money with the way they will be talking.
