From my observations, those who will have many wants are less happy than those with many needs.

You can tell that a person is wealthy when the person dressed very simple but neat with no visible labels. Only a poor person will show off their designer labels.

A wealthy person spends more on food than on electronics and fashion. Only a poor person would spend their food money on the latest gadgets and handbags.

There are tell tale signs when a person is financially secured - he/she still travels abroad even when the ringgit is tanking, he/she's wallet is stuff full of 100 ringgit notes and only pays with cash all the time.

Other telltale signs include a mid tier car but with an expensive old number plate (single or double digit) which shows that the person is from an old rich family.

Does not like to show off. Very low profile about his life or where he lives. Also will try to not show off his watch and downplays it when friends notice his expensive watch.

Poor people would buy a car on 7-10 year loan and would usually buy entry level cars from Mercedes, BMW. A-class and 1-series are cars of choice for posers.

Poor people also wear designer labels on the outside and make sure people notice their fake watch or entry level watch. Rich people will go for the mid tier pricing for any luxury watch brands they buy into. The expensive upper tier of a luxury brand is reserved for posers whom saved up for a decade or more to afford it but after that, cannot afford to service the watch as it costs 4-5 digits to repair it every 3-5 years.

Poor people drink at bars and clubs where overpriced drinks are being sold. Rich people drink at home in their mini bar away from the noise and bar plebeians.

Anything else that I missed out? Looking at my list, I think I am more poor than rich.

But it is true most of the time. Poor people needs to feel validated. Look at the rappers. They are not making much money but spends way beyond their means and later declare bankrupt (e.g. 50 cents, missy eliot etc).

A wealthy individual do not need to buy showy material things to show off their wealth. They know that buying expensive cars to drive around will make them a target for robbers.

I have seen rich friends who keep a low profile and try not to draw attention to themselves. It's the posers hanging out with the rich guys who would try too hard to fit in.

You would know the posers by them wearing sunglasses indoors or when cuaca mendung. They will also wear LV or Hermes belt with a big emblem of the fashion house on the buckle. Every piece of their clothes have the labels on the outside. They will either wear a fake watch or an entry level watch (ie the cheapest model from that watch brand).

Must have number plate and expensive watch meh?

I feel TS you still placing so many requirements on these rich people whereas they only play by their own rules.

The rich ppl I know sometimes you see them out in the hot sun, their clothes dirty and ripped, ppl mistake them for bangla worker. But they own that land, reached a level of success where dun give a fk whatsoever.

Then again I know other rich folk who drive Lamborghinis, wear Polo shirts and aviators.

Let people do what they want la. So judgemental for what? At least the materialists good for the economy.

Also, what's your definition of rich/poor? It's not black or white. Plus there's the question of whether rich means successful.

rich and successful people have got nothing else to prove
they can wear or eat anything they like
usually self made rich people, not rich because of fahder mahder, are very kedekut
so usually low profile but bank account got many millions

rich fahder mahder people tend to show off more often

i think that, people are people.
you cant categorise them especially when youre talking about wealth.
lets say that we're talking about >RM1mil annual combined salary wealth.
im pretty sure we can all agree that that is pretty wealthy by Malaysia's standard.
now, i have seen millionaires, tens millionaires and even hundreds millionaires be extravagant with their spending, not extravagant at all and everything in the middle.
at the end of the day, it depends.
one thing that i have noticed is that if the person in question is from a poor background, they would not be inclined to buy into the whole 'luxury lifestyle'.
they would buy a decent japanese or german mid tier car and wear sub-par designer and below clothes.
they dont neccesarily care to be honest because its not really how they were raised.
now, if the person in question is a son of a millionaire or is a younger fellow, then they would be very very inclined to buy into the whole luxury lifestyle.
im talking nothing lower than hermes. LV and Gucci is pretty mid-tier tbh.
Rolexes, Pateks, AUDEMARS, Richard Mille in all different types of precious metals.
Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, everything la.

so again, it depends.
but i would gravitate towards the person who seems more down to earth

hmmmm alright then.
maybe i live in a different area or meet different people so thats why our opinions are different.
but that's okay!
i dont really focus too much about other people because it doesnt matter to me.
im trying to focus on myself so that i can be one of those people that /k will one day talk about

Rich ppl enjoy luxury.

Poor ppl show off luxury

Thats how i see it.

As for spending habits and brands of choice and what products they use...i think thats up to indovidual la...cannot really tell from that. Both side of the divide mix and share their choices. For example, atas phones like iphones and samsumg kaboom...rich and poor also will buy

There are ways to temporary lease a luxury or sports car just long enough for them to take a picture of them in the car. Most of the time, these cars are rental cars. There are companies out there which would rent a Ferrari to you on a daily basis.

Show-offs usually spend their money to impress other people.

The wealthy are easier to spot. They will have more than 2 kids and the kids are well fed with organic food or good quality food. Again, the rich tend to spend money on buying high quality food to be cooked at home than to spend that money on branded clothing or shoes.

Wealthy people tend to eat at home more as they are very particular about what goes into their food. Food served in restaurants and other food places tend to have questionable food preservatives, high fat, high sugar content or have way too much flavor enhancers.

dan bilzerian isnt a conman his father is . dan he is just a rich poser trying to act as if he made those wealth himself

just like some wealthy kids that inherit wealth from their parents and pretends like they make their own fortune but in reality he is just a trust fund kid that are squadering his dad dirty money from wallstreet. contrary to many small brain plebs no he did not make money through poker period.

last time he had a fued with another poser , always post rented exotic cars, posing infront someone else mansion, motivational quotes, lmao and claims he own several companies bla bla when he post picture of him 'working' there was a laptop on a table in a hotel room with empty notepad program lol. cant remember his ig n name.. his gf at that time was a famous ig hoe but heard they broke up after truth about the bf was revealed. dude's parent own the biggest taxi company in one of the us big city n the guy he was an 'entrepreneur'

From my observations, those who will have many wants are less happy than those with many needs.

You can tell that a person is wealthy when the person dressed very simple but neat with no visible labels. Only a poor person will show off their designer labels.

A wealthy person spends more on food than on electronics and fashion. Only a poor person would spend their food money on the latest gadgets and handbags.

There are tell tale signs when a person is financially secured - he/she still travels abroad even when the ringgit is tanking, he/she's wallet is stuff full of 100 ringgit notes and only pays with cash all the time.

Other telltale signs include a mid tier car but with an expensive old number plate (single or double digit) which shows that the person is from an old rich family.

Does not like to show off. Very low profile about his life or where he lives. Also will try to not show off his watch and downplays it when friends notice his expensive watch.

Poor people would buy a car on 7-10 year loan and would usually buy entry level cars from Mercedes, BMW. A-class and 1-series are cars of choice for posers.

Poor people also wear designer labels on the outside and make sure people notice their fake watch or entry level watch. Rich people will go for the mid tier pricing for any luxury watch brands they buy into. The expensive upper tier of a luxury brand is reserved for posers whom saved up for a decade or more to afford it but after that, cannot afford to service the watch as it costs 4-5 digits to repair it every 3-5 years.

Poor people drink at bars and clubs where overpriced drinks are being sold. Rich people drink at home in their mini bar away from the noise and bar plebeians.

Anything else that I missed out? Looking at my list, I think I am more poor than rich.

Yup. Ok. You may be right on this.

What is stopping a poser who locates an owner and ask permission from the owner to take picture of himself inside the car. I have friends whom have done that sort of thing before. Some of them even went to the showroom overseas and sat inside the car just to take picture of them inside it.

For a wannabe, the sky is the limit. The point is that really rich people will want to keep a low profile and not expose themselves to strangers online. You will never see Bill Gates flashing his wealth online nor Jack Welsh taking picture of himself inside a limited edition McLaren while flashing his solid Gold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.

You can tell that a person is wealthy when the person dressed very simple but neat with no visible labels. Only a poor person will show off their designer labels.

A wealthy person spends more on food than on electronics and fashion. Only a poor person would spend their food money on the latest gadgets and handbags.

There are tell tale signs when a person is financially secured - he/she still travels abroad even when the ringgit is tanking, he/she's wallet is stuff full of 100 ringgit notes and only pays with cash all the time.

Other telltale signs include a mid tier car but with an expensive old number plate (single or double digit) which shows that the person is from an old rich family.

Does not like to show off. Very low profile about his life or where he lives. Also will try to not show off his watch and downplays it when friends notice his expensive watch.

Poor people would buy a car on 7-10 year loan and would usually buy entry level cars from Mercedes, BMW. A-class and 1-series are cars of choice for posers.

Poor people also wear designer labels on the outside and make sure people notice their fake watch or entry level watch. Rich people will go for the mid tier pricing for any luxury watch brands they buy into. The expensive upper tier of a luxury brand is reserved for posers whom saved up for a decade or more to afford it but after that, cannot afford to service the watch as it costs 4-5 digits to repair it every 3-5 years.

Poor people drink at bars and clubs where overpriced drinks are being sold. Rich people drink at home in their mini bar away from the noise and bar plebeians.

Anything else that I missed out? Looking at my list, I think I am more poor than rich.

some rich ppl although they look v modest but they do spend a lot. they might not buy much gadgets but they buy antics. the things that poor see like luxury is actually not luxury to some rich ppl. some super rich ppl dun own sports car but they own private jet or yacht.

very romanticized view of rich people. is it because you dress poorly so by association you believe you're also cut from the same cloth as them? lol.

do you know about li ka shing's car collection? or his h baromon bespoke suit? or richard branson's lifestyle? the clothes he wear, the yachts he own and the money he splurges on women?

The stuff they own may be expensive but they are low profile about it. The clothes they wear do not have labels on the outside. They look like your everyday clothes except that they are bespoke. They don't post on Instagram their 'wealth'. Rich people are all about discreet wealth.

If you cannot understand that, then you are also not cut of the same cloth as them.

Plenty to take into account for a person's personality or attitude. You will have to see whether they are selfmade or second or third gen rich as well. And poor people not all are showoffs either. Rich or poor does not define one's attitude.

the wealthiest ppl is the one who has control of his/her own time.
he/she can do whatever and whenever he/she feels like doing, be it buying into luxury items, vacation, and whatsoever.

if you are mid-range but choose a modest life that allows u to do whatever you want at any time, that's already a type of wealthiness already. as long as the wealth that you have accumulated can warrant you the freedom of time for the rest of your life without compromising your current lifestyle, you are wealthy.

rich and poor ppl has the same things in common - eat, drink, sleep, and die.
in the event of an outbreak, money is not the thing that you will look for, it's food, and water.

in short, live within your mean.

rich is subjective

and rich got different levels (millionaire, decamillionaire, pentamillionaire) and amongst these millionaires not all are cash rich, some on paper, some on asset , some mix of both . and high assets individual not all have high income revenue stream

even different level of rich got different type of people not all have same behaviour thought maybe they are more incline towards a certain behaviour

usually u see those humble rich, they are more likely to be millionaire next door type. usually inherit lands/property or purchase land/property when they were younger n by the time they are retired their assets multiplied so much yet they still have do not find the need to indulge in luxury or live atas lifestyle. Normally their children will end up as developer that drive flashy cars and also open alot businesses (most will close after few years)

and not everyone driving luxury cars are loaded. some are actually spending beyond their means some spending borderline of their means and of course some spend way below their means

Well, I think all of these seems legit to most quarters.

I think another wealthy person criteria is that they are bloody stingy. Stingy in the sense that they will constantly ask for discount no matter what.

Everyone choose to live their life under whatever circumstances they are in. If you are single and ready to mingle, staying at home drinking away and having loads of cash by yourself do you no good whereas when you mingle outside by spending some, you get to meet new people and even might land yourself a lifetime partner.

From my perspective, rich and poor, it's solely depend on your decision to achieve your goal. You can spend your money on something which might sounds like spend thrift. But once you reached to a certain point whereby you need to cut yourself out from that behaviour then.

Saying is easier than doing and this is always the difference between the rich and poor as from what I can observed.

Its not about being stingy.

Its about being smart, why pay more when u can pay less?

Well, I totally accept your statement being smart rather than "stingy" when one can pay less.

But, do you happen to see or hear any stories of them being rich and not stupid getting real deal at the end of it?

Ofcourse!

A freind upgraded his 5 series to 7 series cause they are offering RM100k discount for the 100 yr Anniversary celebration.

Ofcourse he dont need/hardly use the car... but hey its a discount! laugh.gif

Edit : To be serious, I hardly ever pay retail, must got discount baru i consider buying something. I also tend to buy things for future use if there is an attractive enough discount/deal cause I dont want to be stuck/force to get something on retail cause I "need it" urgently.

thats the thing about Malaysian , easily impressed hence i mentioned about the different level of rich. some people saw a guy drive camry , go to club every weekend, wear lv/hermes belt and quickly assume this guy is rich . but in reality could be broke or live in low cost house or flat . ive seen Ppl driving a5 live in wooden house laugh.gif . to me rich is quality of life. its not being humble or what . if u need to cut on something ie big house small car. big car cheap clothes , big watch small house , big car big house mo vacation, many vacations medium house small car etc that simply mean you are not rich enough. some plebs always over analyze these ppl by saying they are humble what not because they simply dont understand. they always quickly assume ppl are rich whenever they got impressed by just 1 or 2 thing the guy do or own , easily impressed simple minded peasants

A freind upgraded his 5 series to 7 series cause they are offering RM100k discount for the 100 yr Anniversary celebration.

Ofcourse he dont need/hardly use the car... but hey its a discount!  laugh.gif

Edit : To be serious, I hardly ever pay retail, must got discount baru i consider buying something. I also tend to buy things for future use if there is an attractive enough discount/deal cause I dont want to be stuck/force to get something on retail cause I "need it" urgently.

usually authorized car seller gives discount when the model is phasing out

some people dont mind , some people dont know, usually specs are fully loaded so in a way value for money. but for me i wont waste spending so much on a car with only few months or a just a year lifespan as ongoing model

yup thats what i do too haha never pay retail n buy for future us

From my observations, those who will have many wants are less happy than those with many needs.

You can tell that a person is wealthy when the person dressed very simple but neat with no visible labels. Only a poor person will show off their designer labels.

A wealthy person spends more on food than on electronics and fashion. Only a poor person would spend their food money on the latest gadgets and handbags.

There are tell tale signs when a person is financially secured - he/she still travels abroad even when the ringgit is tanking, he/she's wallet is stuff full of 100 ringgit notes and only pays with cash all the time.

Other telltale signs include a mid tier car but with an expensive old number plate (single or double digit) which shows that the person is from an old rich family.

Does not like to show off. Very low profile about his life or where he lives. Also will try to not show off his watch and downplays it when friends notice his expensive watch.

Poor people would buy a car on 7-10 year loan and would usually buy entry level cars from Mercedes, BMW. A-class and 1-series are cars of choice for posers.

Poor people also wear designer labels on the outside and make sure people notice their fake watch or entry level watch. Rich people will go for the mid tier pricing for any luxury watch brands they buy into. The expensive upper tier of a luxury brand is reserved for posers whom saved up for a decade or more to afford it but after that, cannot afford to service the watch as it costs 4-5 digits to repair it every 3-5 years.

Poor people drink at bars and clubs where overpriced drinks are being sold. Rich people drink at home in their mini bar away from the noise and bar plebeians.

Anything else that I missed out? Looking at my list, I think I am more poor than rich.

Trump has been a bankrupt and was caught for tax evasion. Not a rich guy when you cannot afford to pay taxes.

Zuckerberg is not rich. His value is tied up in FB shares. If FB shares plunge 80% overnight, he won't be able to liquidate in time and will see his wealth drop by 80%.

My sexual orientation has nothing to do with the topic on hand. If you have nothing to contribute to the topic, better to keep quiet and not post anything at all.

If you scroll though the posts, you will see that even posts that didn't agree with my views were being left alone and not deleted. You and your buddy, however, were posting stuff that were off topic and confrontational in nature in order to either get me to join your mini flame war or to stir up anger due to you two are having a bad day and needed a whipping boy to take it out on.

I'm actually looking at Tax Relief stuff as my annual income tax started to cost me a huge bomb.

Now, I already max out "life insurance and EPF" and "Insurance premium for education and medical benefit". Your clause on SSPN saving scheme struck me but right now, I don't know whether it is still eligible for continuous years.

Its a go for 2016 and 2017. Looking at things its probably going to be extended, govt NEEDS the money.

WHether its continuos or not doesnt matter, its just a 2 months exposure for yoru money. Use it while its there.

But ways to save money on taxes (urh 25% puke.gif ) is limited for employee... so find other lubang to save $$

Its a go for 2016 and 2017. Looking at things its probably going to be extended, govt NEEDS the money.

WHether its continuos or not doesnt matter, its just a 2 months exposure for yoru money. Use it while its there.

But ways to save money on taxes (urh 25%  puke.gif ) is limited for employee... so find other lubang to save $$

I'm looking forward for 2017 income tax and will try to see how much am I paying.

I'm actually an employee and for the past 3 years, on annual basis, including PCB with annual income tax pay-out, I have to pay 7K++ and just trying to see what kind of tax relief really can helps me out.

For me, I will usually calculate the time to save those money to the time I used to make some for passive income.

It's hard to save money anymore when everything is hiking and every unnecessary stuff has been dully cut off.

I can only save until an extend but further on, I might need to find additional incremental income source then.

From my observations, those who will have many wants are less happy than those with many needs.

You can tell that a person is wealthy when the person dressed very simple but neat with no visible labels. Only a poor person will show off their designer labels.

A wealthy person spends more on food than on electronics and fashion. Only a poor person would spend their food money on the latest gadgets and handbags.

There are tell tale signs when a person is financially secured - he/she still travels abroad even when the ringgit is tanking, he/she's wallet is stuff full of 100 ringgit notes and only pays with cash all the time.

Other telltale signs include a mid tier car but with an expensive old number plate (single or double digit) which shows that the person is from an old rich family.

Does not like to show off. Very low profile about his life or where he lives. Also will try to not show off his watch and downplays it when friends notice his expensive watch.

Poor people would buy a car on 7-10 year loan and would usually buy entry level cars from Mercedes, BMW. A-class and 1-series are cars of choice for posers.

Poor people also wear designer labels on the outside and make sure people notice their fake watch or entry level watch. Rich people will go for the mid tier pricing for any luxury watch brands they buy into. The expensive upper tier of a luxury brand is reserved for posers whom saved up for a decade or more to afford it but after that, cannot afford to service the watch as it costs 4-5 digits to repair it every 3-5 years.

Poor people drink at bars and clubs where overpriced drinks are being sold. Rich people drink at home in their mini bar away from the noise and bar plebeians.

Anything else that I missed out? Looking at my list, I think I am more poor than rich.

Not bad... but if i have waifu id go for celine ba. The shape and quality tells you its brand liao. no need to print big big and coated in gold bling bling "LV" or the "C" and "H"

but some gems can be found in small small street stalls like my current wallet i found in japan which is handmade by the stall owner with YKK zip and really good safiano leather. and it only cost about 20000 yen weh... brandless so you can never find it anywhere else brows.gif

if richfag i would service my IWC liao instead of leaving it in the box sweat.gif service IWC = 1 entry level swiss movement.. that's what im wearing day to day now cry.gif

nahhh i got it much cheaper than the cost of repairing it so screw it.. plus it's very battered as i wore it to even play basketball and ride bicycle to campus last time. perhaps from a few serious accidents from cycling that causes something as reliable as iwc to spoil (even my iphone3G broke in half from one fall lol)

Bro. Vintage watches are a minefield. Low cost of entry but the upkeep cost is very high as usually parts are no longer in production so IWC have to specially fabricate the parts using either UV-LiGa or CNC. This adds to the costs as Swiss labor is not cheap. The movement cannot be serviced locally in the Authorised Service Center and have to be sent back to Switzerland every single time for servicing..

I prefer to buy new watches but do keep one vintage watch for fun.
