Saving money by looking poor!

Many believe, "if you've got it, flaunt it" (and I am talking about money and wealth here), and then there are others who prefer to mask their richness in a veneer of simplicity.

Of course, there is nothing right or wrong about either of these approaches to display how wealthy you are, it is a matter of what one is most comfortable with. Undoubtedly, people from the opposite schools of thought will view things differently- those who believe in flaunting wealth will look down upon those who "act" poor as being cheapskates and behaving below their dignity; and the silent rich probably view the 'wealth demonstrators' as being brash and arrogant.

Now, we know the benefit of being seen to be rich; the perception of money can open several doors. What if I told you there are several benefits of looking poor too? Check out this article titled "The benefits of saving habits that make you look poor" by Shannon Christman, where she lists quite a few interesting benefits.

The fact is the rich have this ability to attract wealth; quite literally money follows them. They get wealthier by getting more money and saving more money than the average person; so what if the savings come from living and behaving a bit poorer than you actually are?

I'm sure not many folks agree... check out the comments to the above article to get a nice insight into how people look at having money, enjoying it and displaying it..
