Some people spend all their money trying to look rich, the others just put it aware to build real wealth. Funny thing is, if you understand the concept of Wholesale & Retails, these people trying to look rich are buying their stuff at Retails that if they tried to resell it a few days later they would experience a 30-50% drop in value. The may be on good incomes but it you turn the income off they would only last a couple of weeks before the debt starts eating them alive. Its a mindset, and I know some truly wealth people and some celebrities that are down to earth and humble and the best thing you can do it treat them like a wonderful person as its different from everyone else kissing up.

At first i felt bad when you mention how they treated you just because you were dress alot more casual than others, especially when you had to wait in line while others were being helped. It just shows how shallow and judgmental some people can be. Anyways, i love how humble you are yet you are so knowledgeable about things and the best part is that you share your sucess and experiences with others.. thank you for that! and for just being who you are :).. looking forward in reading your other posts and your upcoming articles.. !

Like you say Neil, no use in spending all your income on a lifestyle, because in a few years time that income may cease and you'll be left with nothing. Much smarter to build long term wealth, so that if income were to cease tomorrow that person would be in a much better position...

There are rich people that aren't so full of themselves and are some that you can't get to their nose. This happens in any place and in any social environment.

So many people are like that out there and the really funny thing is the people with "new money" you can spot it a mile away and they tend to brag about it. Some and I stress some of the "old" money can be horrible but many were raised properly and you would never know they are worth what they are worth. They don't treat people bad and are very modest about what they do. There will always be Snobs out there the great thing about it is you can choose whether or not you want to deal with them.
