Why LOOKING Poor is Important

I always wondered Why do rich people look poor? They'd drive old cars, and wear simple clothing. As I get better with money, I get it. I'm on my journey now, I'm not rich YET, but you'll see why I agree that it's a good thing.

I paid 800 dollars for my car 7 years ago. I still drive it, and have became wealthy because of it. The poorer i act, the more freedom and wealth i seem to accumulate.

The relationship part is it. Fake life attracts the wrong people

I worked for a Company for 23 years, during that period I paid off all my debts - mortgage, car, loans and started a small business. When the Co. retrenched hundreds of us just over 2yrs ago now, even though we got a substantial severance, most of the ppl. were so much in debt that they were drowning despite the severance. They had to start from scratch. This was because so many of them lived above their means as we were making a decent salary and never thought the bubble would burst. On the other hand, by the time we got re-trenched, I was debt-free, had quite a decent savings, my entire severance was mine and now I had 2 successful businesses running and I am now self-employed. All because I chose to sacrifice early, so I could live the lifestyle I want now at 45yrs.

Binge watching your videos with my 13 year old son… His father is not around but I hope he listens to you cuz I’m just “mommy”. At his age…😊

I’m a single mother and I had to start over after a bad break up and I decided there is no reason for us to move out of my grandparents house until I have at least 3 passive incomes and my savings and emergency savings triple my checking… and when I started my business I don’t tell anyone how much I’m making and I don’t buy anything expensive because I have bigger plans that will give me peace and longevity

I will never understand why people are so insecure that they feel the need to have attention from people out in public they do not even know. Instead of being dishonest by projecting a false image of yourself, just go about your life in an honest way. Just be real.

I live in Detroit Michigan where I bought my house dilapidated for 3500 made repairs for about 10k, Purchased two used work trucks And three other used vehicles, for under 10, 000. I do most of the work myself One of them, and that allows me to Keep so much more money in my pocket

If you're still making payments on something, you don't really own it until it's paid off... 😊 Letting go of the attachment of what other people think eliminates a lot of unecessary stress. After my husband passed, I waited a year before making any big decisions. After a year, I paid every debt off and I made the decision I was going to retire at 55 and have happily done just that. When you have no debt, you gain freedom.

Your "why I buy nothing" video is the first content I watched and first video I liked. The title of this made me a subscriber.

[anneagena]

Yes especially around these times. People looking for who they can take advantage of. I started dressing down and wearing shades. People are always staring at me

[angryguymwa]

Bro, you're really not messing around. 🤣

I've been living below my means since my divorce; made back my lost wealth, and I do spend money on my hobbies and past times. That said, when I go out and about, I live the grey man lifestyle, I dress to fit in and blend in with my surroundings. I have a house, and boat, at the beach, on a small island that is a tourist destination, my house about 500 yards from the Atlantic, and I meet or exceed all of the sixes many women say they want. But I dress like a surfer bum, ride my old bicycle everywhere, no visible signs of wealth or status (no watch, no jewelry, old phone), and I pay for things in cash, small bills and loose change. I'm invisible to nearly everyone, including women.

I don’t need to try to look poor, I am poor lol

[KatouMiwa]

this in my 2nd video of you. just wanted to say good work. your videos I've seen really seem like they were made from someone with more subs, meaning i think you made some quality content with premium feels. good stuff man keep it up :D

[gmm]

well im not going for" looking poor.".but i keep a low profile and dont overconsume

[Tunisianatheart]

All these tips are awesome, thanks 😊 In my city in Australia and in lots of places, including Japan, there are amazing thrift stores. So it's quite easy to wear good quality pre-loved clothes. I work in retail and a few customers have super blingy watches that I think are gold plus decorated with what looks like actual diamonds. I'm always thinking "but why???". It just looks super flashy and weird to me...

[Rene-cnjc]

Great content. 😊 I also think people tend to look at the minimum payment or installment payments (like a car loan) instead of the impact entire debt to determine if they can afford things. That mindset also hinders wealth building.
