The funny thing is that it seems that we are trying to show to everybody and our friends that we are “successful“. However, the foolishness of this is that in order to appear successful, we buy expensive luxury cars or homes in order to show how rich we are.
However the hilarious irony is this; in actuality, people spend lots of money on luxury goods cars and homes actually have very little spending power.
For example, let us say that you have $500,000 in cash in your savings account. Once you buy the Lamborghini, automatically your wealth is cut in half. Then, if you really want to stay successful and rich the wise choice is actually not to buy any car. But to just Uber everywhere.
Then the sign of success in wealth in America is this; not own a car, and letting other people know that you don’t own a car.
This is because in America, for the most part, it is very very difficult to live without a car. Therefore, if you don’t own a car it is either a signal that you’re either insanely poor, or insanely rich.
