Quote — “Spending money to show people how much money you have is the fastest way to have less money.When you see someone driving a nice car, you rarely think, ‘Wow, that person is rich.’ Instead, you think, ‘If I had that car, people would think I’m rich.’ Subconscious or not, that’s what happens. People don’t desire things; they desire the emotions they believe those things will bring them. True wealth is what you don’t see — it’s the cars not purchased, the clothes not bought, the first-class upgrade declined. Wealth is financial assets that haven’t yet been converted into the stuff you see.”
— Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money.
