Do people really aim to be rich to show-off

[Mate2237]

Anyone that is rich and shows off with his wealth means that's his character and not because he's rich. If that person is even poor, he'll still show off with whatever, he has. For one to show off is a personal thing and not general and that's why you see some rich people live a low key life and you wouldn't know that they're rich until, you come close to them and know them better. However, a rich man might be living his normal life and you will say that he's showing off because of his lifestyle.

Money is an amplifier of character, you are right on that, people that make money and then start showing off only do that because that's what their personality has always been all about even before they had money, having the opportunity to be in Such position only made them become more in tune with their attitude. People who understand wealth don't really have the time to show off.


I saw a picture showing what billionaires were putting on and recent millionaires were putting on, the difference was really clear, the ones that were new to money were putting on diamond watches and chains but this wasn't the case with the billionaires, all their outfit showed was simplicity, it's all about their level of thinking.

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.

I think having a lot of money and financial stability doesn't mean that it's compulsory for you to show off your wealth through different activities. What are your expectations of a rich individual? It's all about the environment, because if you have enough money and live in an area where everyone has expensive cars and large villas, then you are forced to adopt this lifestyle. But the real thing is your choices, because having wealth with a simple, but standard lifestyle is worth more than the life of a show-off. No doubt wealth gives us confidence, comfort, and financial stability, but here it's your responsibility to decide how to treat the people who are at a lower rank than you. So, people should prefer financial stability, but they will focus on adding more value to their ethics along with wealth.

People try to become rich mainly to be good for themselves, to keep their family members good, safe and to fulfill all their needs. It is never the main purpose of people to show off their wealth to others, but when people become rich, they prefer to live a luxurious life, they prefer to travel in expensive cars, which is why many people may think that the person is showing off by becoming rich. Maybe because of my comments like this, many people may have a negative impression of me, I think those who have money are used to showing off. If a rich person lives a luxurious life, it is not a matter of criticism, but the matter of criticism will be when a poor person tries to do something beyond his means. So I will never consider such activities of the rich as activities of showing off, they do it because they have that ability.

That's one of the major reason's why people are hard to make money...money is not easy to get but very easy to spend..the objectives of to get rich us to sort all their bills and eat whatever they need at appropriate time...Secondly, we have to know that richness havs different dimensions..they're class of people who is wealthy and who are rich and people who are in between both..the prayer of average man is to have a daily income that will sustain him and the family....

Any people who's rich and began to live a luxurious life, look very well, you will know that person is newly rich...some who is rich, it doesn’t show off his wealth to the society...

The bitter irony of truth is that most people don’t even start out to start I want to be rich so that they could oppress people it would not start like that, it by saying I don’t want want to suffer in life, or I don’t want to beg for food, I want my family to be safe, That’s the real motivation that come to mind…..

There is this part were even people from my house hold think there is a different between living well and living to be seen, let say is a rich man buys a nice car because he loves it and can afford it, that what I call living well he might choose to park it in a public space in front for everyone that what a call showing off, well the car is the same the intention is different, and we can’t always know a person’s intention from outside…..

You know in a normal reasoning, the sole purpose of becoming rich should be to provide food and shelter for our families and also to give our children a quality education. I think this is what every normal human being would think of when they are ask to know the reason as to why they want to become rich.

It is only a foolish person or someone that is coming from third world country that would think of becoming rich just to oppress people, and sometimes their wishes don't come through due to the plans they have because nature has already seen that they don't have something important to do with the money.

This should be the main reason or should I say it’s the number one reason why we all need to be rich but today things have changed and so many people have skipped this aside and have different reasons to be rich based on one or two things they have faced in life or maybe thier fellow man has done to them. I know of a friend who always says if he becomes rich today he won’t focus on family first they should wait till he has used him money well in oppressing his oppressors which is his who did bad to him years back and he has sworn to to any level to get that revenge with his money.

I don't think that anyone will completely rule out the family and children lifestyle from their purpose of making money. Human beings are by default subject to responsibilities and without responsibilities, not many guys will be seriously wanting to make money. So saying that some people are not interested in taking care of their family when they've made money is new to me. Like why else do they make money except the money is ill gotten.

Show off is the byproduct of real wealth in the actual sense. But if anyone decides to start showing off immediately, that shows that he's not yet rich. Real rich people don't need to be intentional about show off because the things they do still sell them off as rich people. If someone is truly showing off, then the person is not truly rich, it may just be a fake life.

But let's also remember that there are people who are natural freaks, like car guys or designer guys. These guys just live a natural lifestyle not for show off but because that's what they love same way others could spend all day on video games or other lifestyles.

The elementary purpose of money is to feed Carter for responsibility, this is for every human but life is far from what we reason generally because the heart most time is hard to be determined by facial look, some make money for show off galavanting, intimidating others and all sort of things that could be in their mindset, through experience and past challenge they faces from person they want to prove wrong but that doesn't take away the main purpose which stand to be primary to everyone one seeking or pursuing money inevitably is feeding and solving problem or responsibility.

Yes, this is one of the reasons why we earn money, so that we can live well and our family can live well, and maybe no one wants anything else. If we were offered everything for free, then we would not need money and if someone were offered money, then that person would not take it at that time.

Yes, there are some people who want to earn money to avenge the injustice done to them and they think that if they had money, they would not have to face that situation. But I keep the person who left me for money closer, because I prefer to treat that person like a servant.

[iDEEMEE]

Why must we judge if someone decides to show off their wealth or not as long as it doesn’t harm anyone in the process. Yes we know money amplifies a persons character but buying flashy and bling bling things doesn’t mean the person is bad, it shouldn’t be a criteria to determine the person worth of self.

How a person chose to express their wealth is entirely their choice in my opinion, we should rather base our judge on character on how impactful they are with the wealth they have.

[SmartCharpa]

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

Why would I ever care about other people to show what I've achieved in life? The main purpose of getting money is to escape poverty, you need to make this money, so you don’t go to people to beg to feed your family. We should learn how to be humble, because the way you make the money, you can also become poor again, it happens and that’s life. But nobody has ever pray to get and never get again.

I’ve seen many people in this position, no matter how little money they have, they will show off so people can see how well they’re doing. To be honest, I don’t care about people opinions, all I want is to make money and take care of my family. As long as I don’t ask anyone for help, that’s is the best thing. But making money and living expenses lifestyle is unwise.

Absolutely, it shouldn’t be anyone’s concern whether someone earns to show off or not. Everyone has the right to do whatever they want with their money and lives, the most important thing is that, their actions shouldn’t negatively affect the lives of other people. Yes, money can make one to feel proud or maltreat other people, but it doesn’t mean that having flashy things makes them a bad person, as long as they are doing the right thing. Although, there are people who go extreme lengths or enhance in dishonest activities just to make money so that they can impress or intimidate others, that is not the right way for one to behave, nor is it something worth emulating.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The problem is that we have too many people that are showing off for obvious wrongs reason. When people have money, they want to display it to the world they have it. Some want to make it a competition to other people especially their peer to cause pressure to them.

There are still people who live for what others will say, and that seems senseless to me. The danger of letting people know you're rich is that you can be ambushed, kidnapped, robbed, and have a very bad time; your life and your family's lives can even be in danger. I think that people who are blessed with a lot of money should have a neutral profile, a profile where they don't show too much, where they live well and don't attract attention. Envy is something that abounds in this case. We think that for health and well-being, it's not good to show that you have a lot of money.

It is true that people have been going for different things but even before that I think their family comes first before any other thing, infact there's no one you will ask to tell you his or her reasons of wanting to become rich and he Said something else if not to take care of their family. And yeah if our family needs is been taken care of, then we have every right to venture into other things such as Investment.

Because even though we have the money if we don't Invest in something, a time will come when the person will go broke and still start afresh.

[SUPERSAIAN]

Generally, when people become rich, they tend to draw attention to themselves. There are some, however, who do not show their wealth at all though I believe this group is in the minority. It really depends on an individual's perspective on life.

Some very wealthy people, for instance, have no interest in expensive vacations instead, they prefer camping in nature, avoiding ostentation and simply enjoying time spent with their friends and family.
