My youngest son bought me a fridge magnet when he was in elementary school, it said The most important things in life aren’t things. One of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten, it is still on my fridge and he is 45 years old. I pretty much live my life that way❤

There is an emotional maturity to knowing you are wealthy, versus trying to make others think you are.

I feel so satisfied sitting in my kitchen, caramelizing onions in a pot with my dog by my side and also drinking a beer. I imagine it’s the exact same shit my little Hungarian grandmother did when she was my age.

Its not living like poor... It's living below your means

When I was younger, we had a family friend who was very wealthy—they owned around 20 cars. Despite their wealth, they were kind and down-to-earth, which is why they had friends like us. However, when we hung out with them, it felt uncomfortable. People treated them differently, assuming we were equally rich just because we were with them. This made me realize how challenging it must be for them to find true friends. Others would take advantage of their money, which was disheartening. Later, when I got a decent job and bought a new car, people started treating me differently too. They assumed I was living a happier life. Unfortunately, many approached me only to discuss material things, which left me feeling lonely. So, I intentionally simplified my life and dressed more modestly. Surprisingly, I found more genuine friends after that. 🌟

Amen. Some people refuse to pay for good food, but will pay for a new car every two yrs. Just to say …I am driving…

This is one of the biggest reasons I’m single. I haven’t found anyone who thinks this way. Being on the same page financially is crucial for a successful relationship.

Health, connection, community, a purpose, food and shelter. The rest is frivolous.

I have found that ‘looking poor’ also helps in a lot of scenarios! People tend to leave me alone a lot more…kind of weird.

please note guys, he's mainly talking to the middle class citizens. if your poor as in you have to travel 3 hours via bus to go to work, more than likely you already live a minimalistic lifestyle not by choice.he's talking to those who have a decent income and live a decently comfortable life who probably aren't happy with their middle class life and buy bs to make themselves feel better, not that they need it.

Very right here. I have a net worth over $2.5 million yet I drive a car with 200k miles and live in a 3 bedroom home. I owe zero money and now loan others money for real estate investment. But people see me with my citizen watch and boring clothes and think I’m a struggling 40 something. Couldn’t be farther from the truth.

So true! Wealth has no shortcuts, here are ways to acquire it..🔥

Is funny how when you reach a certain level of savings and income the less stuff cars or homes you want to have and the more you don’t care about impressing. I am glad to have reached that point in life.

Truth ... my mom said I look homeless = priceless for me

I have a 2004 Honda CR-V and I love it. I’m kinda proud of how old it is and how nice it still is.

There's an element of buying quality items thst will last and look good for a long time. Money really unlocks a lot of efficiencies.

It's smart to look poor and be rich. Nobody has to know.. 🤫

Looking “poor” is the reason I sold all my luxury handbags. After the pandemic, I no longer care for logos.
