Looking Rich

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

But how do you look rich even if you're not? There are ways and means to draw envious glances. Personality also matters a great deal, so that you leave others believing it and looking rich comes 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 those who want to keep up, here is the path:

• Take out a loan, because looking rich doesn't come out of nowhere
• Lease a sports car
• Expensive handbags get paid for on credit
• Replicas also lend themselves to the illusion
• You have to become one with being rich
• Act as if everyone else were your subordinates
• Hang out on golf courses and in luxury hotels

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

To each their own

Looking rich is one thing, being rich is a whole other league. Not all well-off people carry their wealth around with them. They put on perfectly ordinary clothes and drive a mid-range car. That protects against envious glances, because they want to go through life as inconspicuously as possible. But for anyone who wants to show off, go ahead, to each their own. And so there are people who show off things that don't belong to them. Borrowed and leased, lent 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 those who absolutely want to look rich apparently lack self-esteem.

Simply normal and down to earth- looking rich

The media almost dictate a lifestyle to us. Big car, fat wallet and otherwise nothing behind it. Looking rich is simply attractive. Still, simply normal and down to earth is more lasting. Wealth can slip through your fingers and you truly end up empty-handed. Those who live frugally get more out of life and don't have to worry about money. Many lottery winners have been driven to ruin too, 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.
