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?
Totally bad ideas try to fake our self when facing some one else have better financial condition, I will show my self how my financial condition never has ideas wearing mask and showing to them about my better financial condition but the reality is not true. I know many people get not confidence when meeting with their friend have better financial condition, get good job until most of them have been success with their business. Why have to wear mask if your condition still not luckiness from them and show your own condition however its help full maybe your friend can help with our condition by giving job or ask to be partner in his business.

If wearing mask and hidden our real condition, when meeting with our friend has better financial condition make us difficult get opportunity from them after seeing our self at good condition, so stop wearing mask and show your own condition to your friend maybe they can help more than you hidden your real conition.
