>drives a top trim non-luxury car (Accord Touring, Camry XSE, Mazda6 Signature, etc)
I grew up with parents who I didn't find out had over 4m in assets until they both passed. Dad drove his 90s buick roadmaster unto the ground and took the train to work when he could, wouldn't buy gas and took the bus instead if he felt prices were too high and "the oil companies are trying to jew me".
I still have broke nigga habits
Fuck's the point of having all that money if you're scrimping like a poorfag anyway?
Flex it all

I grew up in a upper class neighborhood, most of the houses were a $million+ and this was in the 90's. Very few people drove super rich people cars, there were a lot of Lexus and BMW suvs, but I would say over half the cars were completely normal non luxury. Very few of them were fat, but it wasn't because they were eating all organic free range crap, I went over to a kids house who's dad was a CEO of a middle sized business and they would always order pizza for Friday nights. People would travel semi frequently, maybe 3 trips a year out of country. Most house I visited weren't all the up to date in terms of interior design, though they were well done, probably too much of a hassle to bother updating constantly. I did notice they all spent a lot of money on landscaping though for some reason, I suppose it's a lot more visible to your neighbors. Everyone was always pretty religious about visiting the doctor and dentist every 6 months, hair cuts once a week, that sort of thing. Really it's kinda hard to tell unless they are dressed up, I know the owner of a bank who drives a highlander and wears a tweed vest every day.
>hair cuts once a week
What the hell?
I knew a guy who had almost a billion dollars. He dressed sloppily, was overweight, always had disheveled hair, and had no grace or manners. But he was super nice, ridiculously high energy (I would say manic even), very high IQ, and kind of a goofball. The only way you'd know he was rich was if you went to his mansion or flew in his private jet.
As for me, I've got $400k in my portfolio which I know isn't rich but is far above most people my age (early 30s). I drive an econobox and wear hand-me-downs, never eat out, repair my own vehicles and appliances, and generally am cheap as hell. I hide my 'wealth' in every way possible because 1) I don't like gold diggers, and 2) I enjoy the simple life (doing things myself instead of paying for them to be done).
Yeah that sounds about right, a lot of wealthy people prioritize health and experiences more than ostentatious displays of wealth
>I've got $400k in my portfolio which I know isn't rich but is far above most people my age (early 30s).
Good for you. These cucks need to realize it's not about deprivation and penny pinching like a jew, it's about learning to happier with less and living a simple less stressful life.
Amen, brother.

You don't need to be rich for this. Hell, you don't even need to be middle class.
I know a millionaire, although it's mostly due to his own rich family hiring him.
He's a fat balding slob with zero social skills, acts very spoiled, and is very neurotic. He drives a beater car and dresses like a slob and even lives in a shitty old house from the 70s.
He spends his money on the dumbest shit imaginable and has zero concept of a budget.

Most people spend their money on liabilities, I by assets. I happened to be fortunate enough to really get into investing right after the 2008 crash, so my gains have been stellar. Here's a good read for you:

I'd also recommend JL Collins' 'stock series,' "Early Retirement Extreme," "Your Money or Your Life," and "Rich Dad Poor Dad." Also "Building Wealth One House At A Time" if you're into real estate.

What's your definition of "has money" here, $50K?
You can drive something better than a fucking Camry without looking rich.
ABSOLUTELY based and FIpilled.
Can't wait to FIRE and live a carefree boomer life in my mid-late 30s.
One of my coworkers at a warehouse does this, some people just like being well groomed.
If you say a base model 3 series or a poverty spec Merc, LMAO @ your life
>not cutting your hair weekly
Never gonna make it
You can get alot of free toilet paper if you use a book bag to load up on them in public bathrooms.
>Fuck's the point of having all that money if you're scrimping like a poorfag anyway?
The jews really did a number on you didn't they?
The point of having money is to be comfortable and do what you want. If you were to all of a sudden get in a major accident and can't go to work, guess what.. you have money to pay the bills. If you want to retire early and take long vacations.. guess what.. you can. If you think the only thing to do with money is buy materialistic items or to make yourself look better you must have been a big time fucking loser in your childhood
FUGGIN THREAD BITCHES...BIZ AND LINK A GREAT PARTNERSHIP 4EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always look at a persons shoes. nice shoes = wealthy or just cares about style.
Contractors and construction is the only thing that throws it off some of those guys are loaded
>not shaving daily
Embarrassing
This. Fabric for life.
>hair cuts once a week
wtf
This desu
Nobody's hair grows that fast, this is just a waste of money. One haircut every two weeks sounds better.
My boss does on every two weeks, yeah
I would easily do it every two weeks if I could afford too. It's one of the first things people see about you and having unkempt hair makes you appear poor.
Nice shoes means they spent money. It doesn't mean they have it.
>Flexitall
Loseitall
Some of the wealthiest people I know are absolute slobs.
You see them on the street and they literally look like bums cause they got so much money they don't give a fuck.
Those who appear to have money do not have near the amount it seems. Maybe 50k
As I have gotten wealthier, I noticed I started caring less about people's opinions about me. Why do I give a shot if people think I should have x or dress nice? I have the freedom to not give a fuck and that can't be beat.
i litteraly dress like a hobo (adidas sweats and a tank top and adiletten most of the time) i wear no jewlery what so ever. dont have a car and my smartphone is 5 years old i think.
if youd see me on the street you wouldnt think my bankbalance is what it is a prommise you. i do that soley for the reason that i dont want people to be nice to me because i have money. if people are dicks to you because you look like shit - they are not worth anything. i saved alot of money and bad business relations this way
You're a type of guy that I aspire to be in about ten years. Not actually having money, but having the strength to beat the curse of it by flashing your money everywhere. Even now I try my best to hide the wealth I have because when people start knowing you have it their very perception of you changes and they may bug you for favors down the road. Probably my only weakness right now is that I give out too much money, I participate in charities, if I see a beggar I give him some change etc... but I am afraid of what may happen and how I'll change if I do get significant wealth one day.

>tfw income used to pay basic rent and utilities until I was 28
Must be nice having a good starting point.
>does the needful
This was like my life in the 90s without the big houses and bmws, and we were not rich at all. Everything sucks now.
>if people are dicks to you because you look like shit - they are not worth anything. i saved alot of money and bad business relations this way
I was about to say that sounds retarded, but now that I think about, I know several bummy-looking dudes and they're all some of the most capable, no bullshit kind of people you could ever meet.
bump
I once did some flooring work for a small store owner. A poorly dressed, unshaven man suddenly walked into the store to basement. I asked the store owner about it. He remarked that the man was the son of the landlady who own the whole building, and the man was just visiting the closed-off room in basement to look at his collection of antiques.
Bingo
go to bed tyrone
Screencap your own post and read it again after you make it.
>Contractors and construction is the only thing that throws it off some of those guys are loaded
I used to have a friend who thought of me like that. I was poor but he took advantage of me whenever he could under his delusional idea that my family was loaded but was being extremely stingy with money. Once he figured out I was actually poor, he gradually distanced himself from me.
Thank you so much user
This. Don't be a retard people, being all "bling bling nigga" is how they keep you under control. There's a reason old money sneers at new money - dumbasses often blow it. Doesn't mean you can't have some nice things, but consolidation of your wealth & making it get to the point where becoming poor again is basically impossible is the name of the game.
literally me
Cry about it faggot
Someone here reading Mr Money Moustache?
My nigger
A lot of the uber rich dress pretty poorly as well. But wearing a suit is standard practice in most circles to look professional and sophisticated so I recommend a well fitted suit.
PS - youtu.be
>having hair
keep feeling sorry for yourself faggot.
Flaunting wealth is usually a sign you don't have it, but treat yourself once in awhile... Odds are you worked your ass off for it.
Who's feeling sorry? Just pointing out that it's easy to make it when you already start with a good foundation.
Fuck off Brule you nigger.
>strangely doesn't complain about his lack of job and/or shitty major
>drives a top trim non-luxury car (Accord Touring, Camry XSE, Mazda6 Signature, etc)
I allways wanted a Jaguar XJ or XF ever since I saw one in an old movie. But lately I just want comfort and want a Tesla. I accualy dont want Lambo or Bugatti even tho I allways say Im gonna get me a Bugatti. I never liked direct attention. I like attention where people just know what I am without me needing to flash it.
lolololol "trying to jew me" based
what city is this?
they probably just wanna walk around saying they just got a haircut
idk why the fuck else

>you don't need to increase your income to be rich, just increase what you save
easy. Even literal 5 year olds can do this.
Define rich
sydney
having enough wealth that you can buy 15 thai brappers and have enough to purchase a mansion to house them all.
thats darling harbour in sydney. over her shoulder you can see the macquarie bank offices and the edge of barangaroo. she's standing on the pyrmont bridge
t. my office used to be in the background of the video lmao
having multiple streams of income and assets that grow in value over time.
Look at their social media carefully.
Wears Jordan brand tank top dripping sweat all over the fucking stair master.
>millionaire
>caring about appearances going about everyday tasks
this is why you will never make it
if you are able to live off of your assets alone while doing no work you are rich
literally the only defining characteristic between the rich and upper middle class
what a fucking leech lmao
im actively trying to make sure no one around me is like this. any tell-tale signs he was a leech before he figured out you were really poor?
Yeah fuck that noise
If someone doesn't wanna be friends with me while I'm poor they sure as hell ain't buddying it up with me when I make it
never underestimate the power of compound interest, that's the only way you can truly get rich
it does grow that fast and there's nothing like a fresh cut
honestly, just shaving your hairline after a week and then getting a haircut the 2nd week is fine on a budget
but if you got it like that, every week is even better
Rased and bedpilled
Fuck Jannies!
Agree with all except the car.
It's really not that much more expensive to have a nice audi/bmw/vw and the extra comfort is worth it.
I've never let a friend go hungry on my watch, have let a couple close friends stay in my parents house when they went homeless, give to homeless beggars every other day, and go out of my way tor help my friends if they need anything. Even when I make it big, I'll never stop giving as I didn't make it this far on my own and Jow Forums has given me ample knowledge in the short time I've been on this board so I feel obligated to pay it forward.
>He dressed sloppily, was overweight, always had disheveled hair, and had no grace or manners. But he was super nice, ridiculously high energy (I would say manic even), very high IQ, and kind of a goofball.
This will be me. Except jacked.
I always lol at people who work normie jobs and try to create the illusion of wealth by financing nice cars. I'm gonna drive my shit car until it dies.
Buying nice shit will never make you happy. What will is having unlimited time to do what you love. You know, hobbies. You have hobbies, right?
