Why Looking Poor Will Make You Rich | Udayan Adhye

In this video, I explore why looking poor might actually be the smartest strategy for building wealth. We dive into the realities of social media's highlight reels and why flashy cars, designer clothes, and expensive gadgets often don't mean someone is truly rich. In fact, 70% of iPhone purchases in India are on EMI, highlighting how appearances can be deceiving. I also discuss the concept of hedonic adaptation, which keeps people chasing temporary highs instead of building true financial freedom. Drawing from my own personal experiences and stories, I show why living below your means, investing wisely, and avoiding the traps of social comparison are the real keys to financial success. If you want to break free from the cycle of overspending, and learn how to grow true wealth and invest wisely, this video is for you.
