Looking Rich

Those who have, have, and those who can, can, and that's how many a fairy tale begins. Looking rich and being rich are still two different things. Quite a few people adorn themselves with borrowed plumes and show off with more flash than substance.

But how do you look rich even when you're not? There are ways and means to draw envious glances. Personality also matters a great deal when it comes to leading others to believe it, with looking rich coming first.

Looking rich - But please with class

Your arms and hands don't have to be dripping with gold and silver just to show who you are. But for anyone who wants to keep up, here's the way to go:

• Take out a loan, because looking rich doesn't come out of nowhere
• Lease a sports car
• Pay for expensive bags on credit
• Replicas are also an option for show
• You have to become one with being rich
• Act as if everyone else were your subordinate
• Hang out on golf courses and in luxury hotels

All of this can also land you a rich partner, so it's a matter of knowing how. Unfortunately, we live in a time when wealth, not the person themselves, is what counts. Even so, humanity should never fall by the wayside, and standards shouldn't drop either.

Looking rich - To each their own

Looking rich is one thing, being rich is a whole different league. Not all well-off people carry their wealth around with them. They put on perfectly normal clothes and drive a mid-range car. That protects them from envious glances, because they want to go through life as inconspicuously as possible. But anyone who wants to show off, go ahead, to each their own. And so there are people who show off with things that don't belong to them. Borrowed and leased, borrowed and bought on credit, but that's one way to do it, too. To each their own, but please, everyone, stay grounded in reality. It's not money that counts, but whether you're happy and content. Only then do you radiate contentment. You can't buy happiness and health. But anyone who absolutely wants to look rich apparently lacks self-esteem.

Simply normal and down-to-earth

The media almost dictate your lifestyle. A big car, a fat wallet and nothing behind it. Looking rich is simply attractive. Still, simply being normal and down-to-earth is more lasting. Wealth can slip through your fingers and you truly end up standing there empty-handed. If you live frugally, you get more out of life and don't have to worry about money. Many lottery winners, too, have been driven to ruin because money took on a certain power in their lives. A fairy tale that doesn't end well and rather leads into a vicious circle.
