Showing off makes a person hollow from inside
Pretense: The true cost of a false world

Show-off: The real cost of a fake world
In today's era, everyone is in a race to show off. Social media has added fuel to the fire. People buy expensive phones, branded clothes, luxury cars and post about them, but is this real wealth? The truth is that showing off makes a person hollow from inside. The real rich are those who invest in their future, their skills and their income sources.
The addiction of showing off and its truth
Today's youth is happy to buy expensive things on EMI. He feels that he is showing the world how successful he is. But the truth is:
80% of the people who show off a luxurious lifestyle are deeply in debt
They neither have an emergency fund, nor any backup plan
Their whole world collapses in a medical emergency or job loss
Difference in the thinking of the poor and the rich
Poor thinking:
"What will people say?"
"First show off, then think later"
"This month's credit card bill will be seen next month"
Rich thinking:
"What is in my bank balance?"
"Which asset can I buy with this money?"
"How can I create multiple income sources?"
How to become truly rich?
Focus on skill development
Learn a new skill every year
Invest in online courses
This investment will give you returns throughout your life
Let money earn money
It is better to invest in FD or mutual funds than keeping money in savings account
Start SIP with small amounts
Create at least 3 different income sources
Avoid lifestyle inflation
Do not increase expenses as your salary increases
Save at least 30% of your income every month
Buy luxury items only in cash, never on EMI
So what if you are poor today? Tata, Birla, Ambani all started from a small scale
What is important is not what you have today
What is important is what you are doing today so that you have everything tomorrow
The end of show-offs
Till the age of 30: Luxurious lifestyle, praises on social media
Till the age of 40: Burden of debt, insomnia
Till the age of 50: No money for children's education, worry about pension
Real signs of success
Journey from zero to six figures in bank balance
Debt-free life
Giving the family everything they want
Peace of mind and self-satisfaction
Five golden rules of wisdom
First rule: What is visible is not always true - 90% of the wealth shown on social media is false
Second rule: Keep track of your earnings - what is not tracked, never grows
Third rule: Never laugh at small savings - Rs 100 a day You can also make 10 lakhs in 20 years
Fourth rule: Focus on increasing your income instead of your expenses
Fifth rule: Always invest in yourself - this is the only investment that never fails
The Power of Silent Growth
History's most successful people often worked in obscurity before achieving greatness. The common thread? They focused on substance over style. While others were busy showing off, they were:
Reinvesting profits instead of spending them
Building networks instead of flaunting wealth
Developing skills instead of buying status symbols
Last advice
Brother, it doesn't matter if you have nothing today. But make sure that every rupee, every minute and every energy of yours is used in the right place. Don't waste money in showing off. Invest it in a place from where it will come back in abundance.
Remember:
"Today's restraint is tomorrow's freedom.
Today's show off is tomorrow's slavery."
Real wealth is where:
✓ You don't have to work for money
✓ You don't have to worry about eating on time
✓ Your family doesn't lack anything
✓ You have peace of mind
