Topic: Rich and the poor who spend the most on luxury? - page 2. (Read 1508 times)

The way of dressing can be manipulated in such a way, but the place of residence cannot be manipulated because their abilities are limited. Not all, but some of those who are rich choose to dress simply, they can afford to buy expensive clothes with famous brands, but they choose to dress simply, that's what I see in my environment. It's different with people who are simple or lower middle class, not all, but some of them do choose to appear in a way that doesn't match their pockets. Especially when they are in a luxurious environment, they will maintain their prestige even though it makes it difficult for them. Well, this kind of life is actually unhealthy. It's not that it's not allowed, but it would be better if you don't force yourself just because of prestige.

My thoughts on this resonate more with you regarding how poor people are quick to impress others due to their lack of opportunity to wearing expensive things or living in luxury. It is a case of someone who got the opportunity to book the most expensive apartment in a 5 star hotel for the first time in their lifetime and someone who's already used to doing that, for instance, someone who was born and brought up in such apartment.

It will mean a lot to the early person who's not used to the luxury lifestyle and there are more chances of such person flaunting the luxury he was opportuned to witness, whereas, the latter will see is as a way of life and won't even notice the luxury in them because they're already familiar with the environment and their possibility of flaunting it is minimal.


To add to the true fact that rich people don't buy cheap clothes is also to mention that within the rich class, everyone has a preference. Some rich people prefer to patronize designer brands that are showty it terms of their fashion design wears while some rich people prefer to wear expensive but simple and easy wears. Regardless, both are still patronizing expensive brands.

The reason why the rich people seem to be more quite and classy is because they're already used to the lifestyle for long and do not get freaked out by such luxuries but for the poor, it's like a lifetime achievement because they have never witnessed it before.

Yes, you have a point there. The best way to tell the difference between rich and poor is to look at where they live or where they spend their money daily. I have never seen rich people living in old, shabby, materially deprived houses, and I have never seen rich people regularly eating cheap, poor quality food on the streets. Meanwhile, some poor people like to show off their appearance through the way they dress but they cannot disguise their small house into a luxurious villa. Either they can't afford to spend money on meals at 5-star restaurants or spend money in lavish plazas reserved for the rich.

People who are quick to judge others by the clothes they wear are really short-sighted.

From the picture I only see two people who look different even though the other one is assumed to be pretending to be rich by using a luxurious appearance. While those who look simple often look not rich even though they are actually rich people because I have also seen many rich people around me with quite simple appearances so in this case it is very clear that we cannot judge each person by their appearance. But a neat and clean appearance that looks simple is something that needs to be maintained because it can also reflect our own authority and charisma.

It is true that the way a person looks does not determine the wealth that a person has and it is not uncommon for us to see people who have more wealth, they look ordinary and also those who have an average income choose to look luxurious in order to look rich in the eyes of others and I agree with you that we cannot judge a person's wealth by their appearance.
If we look at the residence of the rich, of course, it will be very different from those who can only afford to look rich and even not uncommon we see those who choose to look rich still do not have their own house and still have to rent a house because the income they have will be greater spent on their appearance so they cannot afford to have a private house.

Well I really don't see this as something that defines a rich dude and a poor dude, because I know for a fact that people are quite different, not everyone knows how to show off even though they have everything life have to offer, some people prefer showing off with the little they have even though they have nothing, so in my own opinion appearance doesn't define a rich person or a poor person, even though in our society today, you will mostly be addressed by how you dress, that's just the reality of today's society.

But the easiest way to differentiate a rich dude and a poor dude is where they are staying, because I believe that a poor man can't afford the kind of luxurious houses or mansion the rich lives in, and most of these luxurious plaza, it's the rich that mostly Petronise them, so it's the rich that lives in real luxury, because am quite certain that a poor man can only look rich by what he is putting on, but in reality they just want to feel among, but when it comes to who is actually wearing expensive things, and who is actually living in luxury, it's the rich not the poor.

Poor people dress like how they think rich people dress. Poor people do not have a lot of expensive clothing and luxury items so once they have at least once they will bring it with them everywhere and show it off as much as they can.

While rich people, and I mean the richest ones, are more quiet and classy about their clothes. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still very expensive but it doesn’t look cheap and tacky. Most likely the brands they wear are so expensive that most people have not even heard of it which is why probably people think the rich are not wearing something expensive. Rich people are not buying cheap clothes. They are just not showing off their wealth because they don’t need to be validated.

If you are included on the poor side or status then its impossible that you wont getting jealous into those people who do able to reach out the pinnacle of success or simply getting rich on which they could buy all the things that they do want. If  you are someone who do really that get contented on what you do have then you would really be staying up on being poor but if you are someone who do have wish and goals then you would really be definitely be finding up things that could make yourself that better in terms of financial status, as long you are really that reaching out those things on legal means then this is something commended. Somehow there would really be those individuals who would really be liking to go into the opposite side of things on which they will really be that going into illegal approach on which this is really that a shit option and a dangerous ones.

Spending up on luxury things isnt bad as long you do aware into your priorities and never ever make yourself be neglecting on your responsibilities. Somehow it would be easy to say for those who are rich but not simple
into those who are on the poor side. If you do look yourself into the side on which you dont have much money then better set your priorities straight and neglect out those wishes and liking on buying on things or something which isnt your priority. The main issue for most people is that they do really that become that too irresponsible into the actions that they are taking and wont minding about the after effects that it would be giving out.They would really be that starting on being mindful on the time that they are experiencing shit conditions.

Because even if the hotel do its best, if Cook receive such service for free, it will be an extra plus if he makes a review or gives a recommendation. If I was in charge of that hotel, I would won charge Cook anything, but later would used his stay and image for promotion. I think it will help to create a story and situation, when other travelers would want to visit that room and try Cook experience, no matter what the price is.

Anyway, it can be clearly said who spends more, because we are all different. Someone wants to display luxury, someone is modest. Someone wants to fake luxury life, others feel great of ascetism. It can be said, that poor people wish to repeat rich peoples image, try to get sick from their success. But that does not mean they really spend more.

Why don't you think the other way around: hotel that are confident in their quality should be chosen by celebrities like Tim Cook? Their business has been around for years based on the reputation and quality they bring to their customers, and that is what makes their reputation . So why would they reward someone just for choosing their service? They don't even care who he is because their job is to serve people who can afford their services.  The best deal they can give Tim Cook is the best experience .


This is one of the top hotels in my country and the best choice for super rich travelers . If customers do not choose them, it is because customers do not have enough money , they do not expect the presence of celebrities to serve for free because they are doing business based on quality and reputation . They are a business, not a charity for the rich .

I agree that there will be poor people who like luxury and ostentation ,  and there will also be rich people who like simplicity but it all depends on the individual . We shouldn't judge everyone the same just based on a meme on social media .

Changes? Why? I think you mean to say differences, also it doesn't always mean that we are spending money thoughtfully only because we are on the middle class but it only depends on the individual. There is no middle class mentioned in the OP but there are still people on that bracket who can spend recklessly. And, it doesn't depend on other factors that you mentioned there. Even though we are living on a cheap country, there will still be people who will value their money more, and then there are still people who will try hard only to spend more in an expensive country.

Huh? This is so confusing, lol. I think there must always be a reason on why we can spend more.

I agree with your opinion, many rich people wear luxury and branded goods, because they can afford it and it has become their daily need, by wearing luxury goods it is a pattern for them to enjoy the results of their hard work so that the goods They are used to buying and using luxury goods.

Poor people will not buy expensive things because they know their daily needs are more important than buying luxury goods that are expensive, why would they buy luxury and expensive goods when it is difficult to even eat every day, they still prioritize their daily needs and the rest they save for their survival.

If you ask, who spends more money on luxury goods, is it the poor or the rich? The answer is clear that the rich spend the most money on luxury goods, because if you think logically, how can a poor person spend more money on luxury goods. Here we will not discuss people who look rich for the sake of being considered rich, because from your picture it is just a metaphor, and in real life it is not like that. Okay, rich people look simpler, but are people who buy 2.5k USD pants poor people? both can be categorized as rich, but to a different extent - that's why there are terms fake rich, crazy rich, and real rich.

One thing about the rich is that they don't even care about their look and how people see them , so looking very expensive is not a problem for them because they already have the money,  all what they about is how they can make more wealth. The poor people thinks they can always get into people by looking expensive by spending much money on their looks. Since they don't have the money to make rich friends they feel looking rich can attract rich friends, give them the connection they want.

Wearing expensive cloths means nothing to the rich man but I think their is an advantage why a poor man should look good by appearance it is one of the way to get attracted to people who are better financially and this can be of good benefit to gain value.

The style and choice of clothing is not always associated with a person’s desire to show his status or success, there are people for whom it does not matter, but at the same time they can be quite wealthy. If people hold a lot of negotiations and they need to look good, then they will take care of it even if they spend on clothes which they don't need in their daily lives. That is, this does not apply to all the rich and the poor, it rather depends on the needs of a person and on his attitude to this.

I think it depends on how rich and how poor they are. But the point is that most people who we consider rich, clearly do not spend more of their money than those who are less rich and those who are poor. Because there are also poor people who do not care about lifestyle and prioritize basic needs or other important needs so that they still feel safe in everything. Rich people have the ability to buy anything they want but all of that needs to be considered except for their children who can only spend their parents' money, and if there are poor people who only care about lifestyle and spend their money because of prestige, that is very dangerous. And both can be positive and negative depending on who they are.

It would be safer to say some poor people want to look rich, so they buy clothing they cannot afford. It is common to see people you know are struggling financially to show on social media to just claim who they are not. But this is not the case for all poor people because many of them don't give a damn about flaunting wealth. The rich can afford luxury, so they wouldn't care about showing off expensive items. They see luxury as a way of life, so there is no need to draw attention. But I find it abnormal to distinguish between the behaviour of the rich and poor with physical appearance.

Yes that's right. Every person living in the world has different tastes and therefore different people's lifestyles. Between the rich and the poor, I think the rich live a luxurious life, and even wear the most expensive clothes which may not be possible for the poor.

We have seen a lot of rich people who don't think they have a lot of money by looking at their clothes, but on closer inspection it turns out that the clothes they are wearing are from the band, i.e. they are expensive. Basically, by looking at the color of their clothes, there is no way to understand that they are very expensive. Moreover, the vehicles used for transportation are expensive. Moreover, rich people never wear expensive clothes to show off but there are many poor people who wear expensive clothes to show themselves as rich people.

The rich wear expensive clothes and live in expensive houses that the poor cannot afford. This illustration is for people like you who feel wearing good clothes that are expensive while being poor means you are imitating the rich. To become rich starts from the mindset, once you are rich in the brain you start doing things that will push you to that richness physically. The mindset has to be operating in the level which the rich people operate. To someone who is rich they dont see some amount of money as anything that is why they do not want to settle for less. The rich take greater risks why the poor are afraid to lose the little they have. If you are to mention what the rich are doing compared to the poor then you should completely list all of them and you will find on that the rich spend more than the poor.

Funny enough to the poor spending 100$ on shoes and 400$ on outfits seems to be rich. The rich would spend 500 thousand dollars on shopping in a day. But the poor cannot afford it. The whole matter concludes that anything the poor can afford is not extremely rich. Because only the rich are able to afford what is meant for the rich.

I cannot agree with you. People who are really rich never overspend on clothes. Those who have gone from poor to rich or who have acquired wealth without any difficulty tend to accumulate wealth. You can't call the real rich who only own money, you can call them financiers. There is a big difference between money and wealth. The rich always spend for themselves, looking for their own opportunities. They do not help anyone around them in danger, they are arrogant. Basically such a person spends extra money on clothes and luxury to make himself look rich. Their identity is only based on clothes and luxury.

A rich person never overspends on luxuries. They are always hardworking and philanthropic. A truly rich person is rich from the heart, they have very little ego. The identity of a real rich person does not depend on his clothes. If he wears old tattered clothes then people will think him rich. Because they help people in times of danger and their money is also used for human welfare. Real rich people are comfortable in simple clothes and simple life. They don't have to spend extra money to look rich, but with that money they do the necessary things.
