Being rich is relative, the person you think is rich
is seeing another person as rich who's also seeing another person as rich and
so on. I'm not even talking about being rich in your heart, wisdom or beauty;
I'm talking about money rich. It's hard to tell the source of income of a lot
of people especially when they seem to be getting more than they work for. We
still wish somehow to have what they have. Basically, the difference between a
rich and poor man apart from their mentality is the money. Not everyone has
"obvious" money but they are sometimes perceived as rich, someone
like me *pops collar*. So what if you don't have the money, how do you carry
yourself to almost fit the 'rich' profile without spending the money?
Dress well; It all starts from your looks, bend down boutiques
are still very much in business so patronize them according to your pocket and
make good choices. Looking good doesn’t have to be expensive. Besides, these
people you see as rich shop from the BB boutiques too so what are you waiting
for?
Don’t freak out when
you see ‘richies’ (wealth associated things, places or people); When you see celebrities, don’t tear your shirt, calm
down, they’re human too. I remember my Pastor telling us about one guy who prostrated
for a jeep because its ‘big man’ car. No, don’t do that, just keep your calm.
Tell people your
money is budgeted instead of saying you're broke; You don’t want to be that person who’s always broke
but we all get to be broke sometime just that someone’s ‘broke-ness’ might be
another person's ‘too much money’. My point, you can’t help being broke but don’t
announce it all the time, just say your money is budgeted for something else
instead.
Don’t explain why you
like cheap stuff; I’ve come to realize
that expensive stuffs aren’t necessarily quality so if you feel this way too, it’s
very normal but don’t explain yourself. As long as you’re satisfied with the
product or service, that’s all you need.
Mind your business; Nobody really progresses by putting their noses in
other people’s businesses so just face your life, be conscious of other
happenings around you but don’t let it bother you. Yes, minding your business
is very sexy, that’s the way to go if you’re not on that path yet.
Socialize; This is something I personally need to work on. Meet
people, know people, make friends, connections et al. Keep in touch once in a
while with the people in your life. See yourself as important and carry
yourself as such wherever you are. You might get to be friends with ‘rich’
people and maybe be really as rich or be mistaken as one.
Save money; I cannot overemphasize the extent to which this act
will go in your life. Besides, you don’t save money by spending money except if
you’re using it to run a business or invest in something.
