The problem is that most people do not realize how much they can pay back, and that causes their trouble. It's the same with me, thankfully my boss gave me a bonus this month, but I am near my entire salary for my debt, not because of luxury or anything, it's medical bills I am paying, but it is still terrible calculation on my behalf, I should have taken long term loan, I just wanted to pay it and be done with it quickly, so that was my mistake, but after a few more months of terrible period, I will be done in a couple of months.

In the end, calculate how much you can pay back, you can always get a loan there is nothing wrong with debt, just realize if you can pay it fine or not, if you can pay it fine without trouble then getting debt is fine.

If you enter debt due to sickness it is another terrible problem someone can get himself into. although I know that some debt is just that there is not any other way than to take the loan, but the main thing is paying back. But you see your own problem is the medication, you know with the way things are going now maybe the loan will not even enough to get the medication you want to buy base one how expensive drugs are now. furthermore, the sickness may not be as one expect, so all this emergency stuffs are things that make someone go broke even if you are earning money.

Things to avoid when I become rich is as follows:
1. Pretend as if you are not yet rich to avoid people around you looking up to you as if they can't do without you.

2. Don't carry all responsibility of your family otherwise they will pull you down.

3. You'll learn to control yourself in expenses because when you upgrade in financial status your level of expenses also increases. Maybe if you normally spend $50 a week when you aim $500 a month you may not longer manage $50 a week when you start aiming $1500 in a month. The ability of maintaining the old strategy of spending even why you have upgraded will allow you save more money for other important things.

4. Of course paying loan is very important if actually you are owing there is need to pay in Oder for it not to keep increasing.

Another problem is that people cannot distinguish between good debt and bad debt, a loan that you can get for a low interest rate, that you use to create a new source of income for yourself or in your health is a good debt, but most of the debt taken today by people is bad debt, as they have to pay high interest rates on it and they take it just to mindlessly consume things they do not even need or want, and yet they keep taking that kind of debt as they believe this is the way people are supposed to live their life.

I feel like that is something I can't really guarantee at all, I try to avoid saying stuff that has never happened. Like right now, if you ask me would you look at people differently if you had millions and millions of dollars? Then I would say of course not, but it has never happened and maybe I would change with money? I wouldn't know, it never happened. Of course sometimes you know what will happen, like if I am thrown from a flying airplane, I know I would be screaming, parachute or not Cheesy.

But, some stuff are not know and usually a little bit more detailed. I spent my whole college years saying I do not care about the diploma or the grades, because I really didn't, I went to college to learn, for business purposes, not for diploma, and it has been more than a decade since I graduated and never used my diploma for once, not even a single time. But do you know what happened when I was given that diploma? I started to cry, would haven ever guessed, some stuff are shock to you too.
I feel like you would know a bit, okay maybe you do not know the whole 100% thing, but I think you know a bit. I have always been kind to waiters and any other service worker for my entire life, just because I make some money doesn't mean that I am going to change 180 degrees, I am going to be just fine. I may get a little bit more paranoid and try to act a little differently, but not entirely and I think it will not become a problem at all, it should be something that would be easy to handle.

All in all I believe that people can change, just not that much, like you said, you didn't care about diploma and you never used it, just a small teary eye moment isn't a huge change, that type of small things could happen but not great changes.

To most, debt is a trap.  It's like being in a hole that the sides keep caving in - you have to expend effort just to keep even and even more of you want to get ahead.
I think the ones who said that debt is a trap, are only the people who also don't take loans. Maybe there are still people who thinks that debt is risky or can give them a headache, though they have no choice but to still continue availing it because they also need the money for something important. I think this isn't totally wrong, and maybe if we are on their shoes, we will also do the same thing.

In the United States, the biggest debt traps are student loans, new car loans, and credit cards.  Collectively, these will keep most people poor their entire lives. 
Not only in the United States but I think it is also the same as other countries. Maybe they will struggle financially afterwards but they can say that at least, they are now enrolled and can study on their chosen school or courses, they can now drive that new car that they have been dreaming of, and they can now have that other items with the help of their credit cards.

To be sincere with you, debt is just like demotion. It is as if you are going forward, but something is dragging you back. When you are owing money, you will not be able to plan another thing that will benefit your life until you clear such debt, and you will be like some one who is not even getting the money at all. Although I know that some conditions require you to collect debt, sometimes it is not really to set some financial problems that come your way, but the real thing is to pay it back.

1. Don't buy expensive things right away.
Maybe not only expensive things but also avoiding expensive habits continuously, such as buying expensive coffee, eating at expensive places, or something like that. Because surely we can also buy such things at a cheaper price. It is better to prioritize spending that provides long-term value. This can also prevent us from becoming impulsive buyers.

2.Pay your Debt

Having debt or bad debt is why most of us continue to suffer because it's like a weed that, if you don't cut the root, will grow again. And the debt, when you don't pay it, has interest compounding. So your number one expense is to pay off the debt when it earns a lot of money. Be responsible not to ignore the people we owe money to, talk to them, say thank you, and pay all the debt.

We should also know that our reputation also depends on it, and when we know how to pay, many people will trust you. And when you know how to pay off debt, you also show that we are not only thinking about ourselves.
Moreover, having consumptive debt that has high interest, this must be avoided because it can threaten finances to become worse. Someone with high consumptive debt tends to have difficulty owning and adding assets, this will hinder finances. Maybe if you have debt for business activities or something that has benefits, it could be better.

Let's be grateful for our achievements and also be thankful that they came to you, but don't be satisfied that if you earn a lot of money now, be thankful. We should not be as greedy as possible. If we achieve our first goal, we make another goal, and so on.

Success is like cleaning; if you clean your house today, you will have to clean again tomorrow. And we'll do it every day, so we can keep a clean house, right? So, when we are living a rich life, we have to set a new target.

There are many things that fall man from achieving their goals in life but I think we ignore this ones a lot of the time even when it's obvious is the reason why many men don't make it in life. It's womanizing and spending money on Alcohol, these two might be subjective but if you are the kind of person that loves women a lot, you can't do a day without womanizing, you will remain where you are and probably make nothing your life because most often you will be spending money on them trying to impress them.

Another one that hinder men from making it is gambling, so many people are where they are today because they have wasted all their money into gambling trying to double the money they have worked so hard to get and sometimes they get influence because of friends and the money they don't see as money actually matter after you do the accumulation of the money they have spent in gambling. Not saying gambling is bad but it should be done moderately with amount that is nothing to you, not your savings until you remain broke.

It is obvious that the more we become rich continuously, we become expensive and we don't eating or wearing those things that are quite common to us. Change is quite constant and everyone do dance to the music so it is a normal thing for us to become more expensive when money keeps flowing in. Planning is an important aspect we need to consider for us to keep making money from what we do so we don't go bankruptcy. Pride is a major factor that has made a lot to be so big before everyone since they felt like they are now rich and no one could talk to them or challenge especially in their own level or below. Money is a spirit that could make us go astray.

Indeed, as we get richer, our tastes will increase, and that applies to many things. for example, with food styles where when finances are mediocre, of course we will only buy food that adjusts to the financial situation, as well as with style. but sometimes there are people who impose a rich and luxurious style but in reality their financial situation is very bad. Also when wealth increases, of course it will affect lifestyle, for example, with the beginning who usually does not usually use watches, but because finances increase we can follow the increase by buying and owning watches and because it is a habit, of course, it will feel something is missing when not using watches.

Of course, the increasing financial structure will make lifestyle or others become expensive, apart from the economy also with the lifestyle will increase. When finances increase, having a plan is certainly important not to make unimportant expenses, things that must be avoided when finances increase are unimportant expenses that can make finances run out irregularly.

When people earn more money, their needs increase day by day and people become more expensive. Being expensive is not a bad thing from my point of view as long as it doesn't lead to bad things. Because money has the power to slowly lead people down a bad path. Therefore if money can be used for self-expenditure in a controlled manner then there is nothing wrong with it and if some of it can be spent in the work of humanity, it will be able to bring about the spiritual liberation of people. So not getting infatuated with wealth is the main thing that we should avoid.

As time goes by, our needs are always met with a high income, that's a very good stage for us to do useful things. It's really important to have good financial management, with self-appreciation, use the money to do things we like but with certain limits. Naturally, that's much better, by not being wasteful with expenses, at least you are saving for the long term, so you can avoid going crazy about the wealth you have worked so hard to obtain so far.

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with someone who already has a lot of money to spend it on things they really need and the most important thing is that they can make good use of the income they have. You are right. Those who cannot manage their finances well will certainly spend their income on things they really need. not needed, of course it will be very detrimental to ourselves because after working hard to make money, and I agree with you in being able to avoid being crazy about wealth which makes us tired of doing work.

It will be good if he can assure that there's a good return on where he spend his money and there's nothing will be stagnant or dead investment since everything will be fine. But if he used the money to buy luxurious things or cars or houses which cannot generate him an income then the problem will start their since for sure he would have a liability that can also drain his finances. That's why we need to be smart on choosing on where to spend our money so that we can make sure that everything we do is good and we could ask some advices to the people we trust especially if they are good on handling their money or even businesses since provably we can also get an idea on how to improve more our lives with the advices we get from good people.

Everything you said is correct but you didn't discuss about investing wisely. Investment is very important in the life of any individual that has started working to earn money. There's a saying "nothing last forever" If someone is earning money from a job and they believe they can work on that job for their entire life, they can get disappointed when table turn against them but if they invest while working they can enjoy the investment when they are no longer strong to work  hard. I just want to specifically say that investment is very good. While earning, don't fail to invest.
Yes, that's right, there's no other choice. Man, I think that people who work hard in their youth, rotate above the salary base if they don't save and invest for their old age. So when they get old, they can't work, how do they live? Everyone has done some planning for their old age, and those who say that saving is useless to do and invest. They are the same people who, after getting old, are seen begging on the streets or staying in old-age homes, because I don't understand what other option there is.

The biggest difference between humans and animals is consciousness. The creator has blessed humans with intelligence. Humans need to think and those humans also think about what they will do tomorrow and how their tomorrow can be better. Those who walk in their life as planned are never disgraced in time and never turn to be recognized. Those who only think of today and say tomorrow what will happen will be seen I have seen them struggle. While doing so, their lives and their families get into trouble because of their decisions.

Once I start earning a lot or become rich the first thing I would avoid a putting all my investment eggs in one basket. That is to say that rather than investing in one asset or one industry alone I would avoid it and rather diversified my investment portfolio to include assets and investment that I understand and would you have return money investment there by multiplying, protecting my wealth and minimizing the risk involved. The higher you earn, the higher your risk.
It is clear that the higher the income, the higher the risk, but in real life there are unique things such as low income with high risk, and vice versa.
But of all that depends on the right management, with the right management we will know the benchmarks (actions) that must be done.
The conclusion is that the relationship between income and risk does not always go hand in hand. Good management is essential to determine the right steps to optimize revenue and manage risk.

I think there is nothing wrong with what they do by posting their success or success on social media where there are likely to be many people who see it, because after all what is shown can motivate others or raise the spirits of others who may at that time there are people who are experiencing failure and downturn. And for me the risk that will be felt by people who show their success is nothing more than social risk, or the point is that maybe in the next few days or months there will be many people who come like asking for help such as borrowing money or wanting to ask for directions or ways to be successful like him, and for that problem I think it is not a risk, because after all the name risk is when someone does something that tends to lead to mistakes that can threaten or endanger him such as taking a decision or doing something excessively, but if not then I think posting success on social media is a common thing that many people often do.

I don't know what the lifestyle is like in your country, but in my country, poor people can hang out with rich people, but rich people will rarely work with poor people, and most rich people usually just cooperate and do business with rich people. Therefore, whether someone brags about their success or wants to prove that they have become rich has its own purpose. Some may want to assert themselves as talented people and want to set themselves as an example for others to make efforts as you said. But there are also some people who do it because they are looking for ways to expand better relationships to increase wealth.
In addition, perhaps the security situation in each country is different, and I don't see any risk in someone wanting to brag on social networks when they become rich in my country.

In my country most of them are people who managed to achieve wealth in their lives and then post it I don't know about how and what exactly their purpose is, whether it's for bragging rights or for promotional purposes so that many people or companies want to work with him or her or for something else, but usually I hear that the idea they often say is that they are nothing more than motivating other people who are in the process of struggling to keep their spirits up and prove that the process will never betray the results, and I think it is an idea and action that does make sense to raise the spirits of other people who see it. As I said above, I don't really know the actual purpose but yes, it may be true as you said that indirectly their actions can also be a way to find or open doors for new business opportunities such as building new relationships with other people to plan new businesses. For me the real risk that can happen when someone posts or brags about their wealth is that there might be some people who see it who have bad intentions such as cheating, robbing or whatever.

As for bragging, I think we don't need to post pictures of ourselves holding a bunch of money, or showing off our bank account balance for everyone to see, or ridiculous pictures. We just need to post a little simpler photos to let everyone know that our lives are changing for the better after many hard days without having to brag too much. I think we won't face any risks, people are just exaggerating things more than necessary.
There is nothing wrong with us being proud and wanting everyone to know that our efforts have paid off, our choice was the right one.

In addition, our success is also the pride and honor of our parents, so it is not bad when our parents proudly talk about how successful we have been. Just like in the future, if our children are successful, we will show them off to our friends and be proud of them, which is a great joy for any parent.

Lots of people make such mistake of living an extravagante lifestyle when they finally stumbled on a big bag, that's very wrong. To them they'll feel like, I've been poor or broke for too long and now the world needs to see I've made it. No, that's wrong you don't live to impress anyone cause when you go broke again those people you're trying  to impress might not help you rise up again, they'll probably laugh at you or mock you for being foolish. A wise man once told me that the first thing i should think of, when i start earning is to invest my earnings into a good business or investment and that has really helped me in life, I'll always calculate before spending and it's help me to differentiate between my needs and wants. Another point i picked from the Op is paying of debt, it's very important for people to pay off debts when they've finally made money, the best thing that could happen to a man is being debt free, it saves one from unnecessary embarrassement and public disgrace.

I felt like that when I first made a lot of money. I wanted to show off, prove that I'm worth more now, that I'm successful. I wanted people to envy me... and then I slept on it, spent a few days doing nothing, thinking of next steps and came to the conclusion I would still be worthless to them. People who don't respect me wouldn't start to respect me because I made some money. They'd rather belittle my achievement to try to show themselves as more successful in comparison. People who like me could turn away from me because they'd see me as fake, trying to show the extravagant side of me that isn't real.
So I did nothing. I waited, just begun to save up less than I used to, spend my income instead of investing it because I had so much profit from investing I no longer needed to do that. My life improved, but my friends did not turn away from me because it was a slow and gradual improvement.

In real life it is not uncommon for me to see rich people who get out of luxury cars with a very simple appearance, only using sandals, shorts, plain t-shirts and carrying small bags without wearing any accessories on their bodies, this is a small example that can be concluded that even if for example you are a rich person who has a lot of money but that does not mean you have to buy various things that are not really needed, and it also indirectly tells and makes me realize that the real rich people are those who have very good financial management where they only spend their money on something that is important or needed.

I heard that those who are rich or who have high incomes in their lives only use a small portion of their income for their lives and their families, not that they are stingy, but they mostly use their money for everything that has the potential to bring greater profits in the long run such as business or whatever it is, and I think it is clear that because of that management and mindset that makes rich people richer. In conclusion, in real life or whatever it is, especially related to money, if we can manage it properly, everything will go well and be balanced.
I agree that if we can manage finances well and wisely then everything will go well and balanced. Because this balance is what makes them continue to grow forward, but different things with those "ordinary people" they often use money carelessly, for example, even though their income is mediocre they spend their money at the limit they have which in the end their money is always minus. It's true that we really need balance. And not just balance in managing finances but balance in every aspect i think needs balance.

I admit that the majority of people's habits are like wasting money, it is fun when you buy various things or whatever you want using the money you earn from work, and I would say that this is a habit that people have. - a person who will dedicate himself to always working all his life until he dies. Health is the most important thing, but everyone will enter an elderly phase in their life which is a phase of decreasing personal fitness, I am sure that most people want financial freedom in their old age, everything that will happen in the future depends on how and what actions do you take nowadays, meaning that if you don't want to enjoy old age by always having to work then that means you have to do something that people in their youth didn't usually do.

Differentiate yourself from other people your age, when other people buy something they want and don't need, you have to allocate some money outside of your needs for something that has the potential to produce greater profits in the future as provisions for your old age. like investments or whatever. I'm not criticizing it, but it's quite worrying when I see people who have low incomes but spend their money blindly on something they don't really need. Management is the main thing that must be prioritized over satisfaction.

It's true that we really need balance. And not just balance in managing finances but balance in every aspect i think needs balance.
This means that we have to be wise in using money, not to maintain prestige.

Because it cannot be denied that when someone has a lot of money, what does that person think, what can he buy with that much money? and it often happens that he just buys something luxurious just to show off to other people that we have money.

Surely everyone likes luxury goods? But we also have to think first, can you take good care of these luxury items? It must be admitted that this is not the way to get rich, because you will only spend more money to maintain it.

So what the OP said is good, apart from that maybe don't think about or prioritize prestige if you have a lot of money because it's better to be wise. Use the money you have for things that are much more important, use that money for things that suit your needs. There are many things to avoid when we become rich, and usually rich people are wise in using their money. Their mindset is that money will work for him, not him working for money.
