Do you really have enough cash?

Why do you try to look expensive?

Don't become broke because of material possessions.

Don't get into debt to appear expensive.

Do not emulate someone else's life.

Do you even have what it takes to appear expensive?

If not,

Don't push yourself too much.

Don't live an unauthentic life.

The truth has a way of emerging.

They'll eventually learn who you are.

One day, you'll be in trouble.

What if you require assistance from them?

Knowing that they identify you as a wealthy person.

How will you approach them?

Will you not feel ashamed?

Life must be real.

Be yourself.
