What do you do when you meet people who are financially or economically in a better position than you? Let us all be honest here.. we sometimes compare ourselves to our peers and see if they are doing better than us. There are times where, whether it is good or not, we can tell they are doing better in life. Of course we do not know their struggles but we know that financially they are quite more comfortable than you.
In that case, should you try to fake your own situation as to not get pity or should you be honest? When I encounter people who are financially ahead than me I just think that it will be me someday... That I will reach that level too where I would be able to buy whatever they can. So basically I try to make them my inspiration. Do you take inspiration from the rich people or do they make you feel worse?

To be honest, it’s very difficult to remain unbiased towards those people who have had cars or apartments from their parents since birth, and as a person who was not given this, I feel that somewhere inside, perhaps, I treat them with some envy.
By the way, I know that the best scammers are those who started from the bottom, and a large percentage of them. These are the people who try to pretend they're very successful on Instagram and sell some stupid personal development courses to rich people. After all, those with money always want to stroke their ego and prove to themselves that they're unique and cool.
