RE: The Idea Of Wealth Is Now Better Than Wealth

in #money6 years ago

Now that’s a brain tickler you’ve presented. The illusion has become the reality, for the most part. I think the younger people that have money are flashier than the previous generations. They’ve always been flashy for sure, but with the Instagram days we are in, people are indeed more interested in posting a picture with the destination they are in rather than shutting it off and enjoying it.

One of my dads good friends, he’s got crazy millions of dollars. He’s not flashy at all, and is part of a dying breed. He drives older cars, doesn’t wear expensive stuff and last I remember washes and dries paper plates! He grew up with nothing and worked hard for his stuff. His type of person with money is becoming increasingly rare to see.

I just learned of it myself but if you post a link to your posts on twitter and add a comment in your post here shared to twitter, you can be eligible for a vote from the OCD account if you use the tag posh, oc and Steem on your twitter post. You have to add posh and oc here on Steem too but I wanted to let you know! I got a 10$ vote from it, though my post was a bit different, I’ve never gotten OCD votes until then.

Sort:  

I think they are flasher because there is more money to go around, more things to consume, more access with the internet and a culture that is celebrated around these various abilities or levels of consumerism! It brings with it a fake sense of achievement

I think theirs a difference in those who had to work for their riches and those who either inherited it or came into easier! For example those youtubers and instagramers how many of them were poor before? No they had means and time to sit and build this following so they had a leg up already

Sweet thank you so much for the tip I’ll give it a whirl in a bit

Hope you get a vote from them! In your Steem comment, include a link to the tweet, I forgot to add.
