Invisible Wealth Rule | Why Looking Poor is the Secret to Getting Rich

Good watch 🎉

You really don't need to "look poor" as a well-to-do person. I actually get most of my clothes from Goodwill and usually the best dressed guy in any room I step into. Why? Because I've learned how to shop for great-looking quality clothes at a fraction of the cost. When other guys are paying $400+ for a great-looking sports jacket I'm usually paying $7.99. I'm very similar to Garrett in the video. Never bought a new car, live very simply, and have learned how to manage assets through personal study. I personally chuckle whenever I see people driving new cars, eating out all the time, buying ridiculously overpriced coffee desserts, or walking around with an $$$$$ purse or watch in order to "look rich" knowing that the majority are living paycheck to paycheck.

blah blah blah BS

Would a 2004 model still make you a billionaire? Freaking out

Just stop pretending

Very motivational story 😊😊😊

As I’ve gotten older in my life all that matters to me is simply my peace of mind. That’s it. In my late teens and early 20s I loved to party especially in the Palisades here in California area. All the girls and “homies” of that time was all fun, but now as a happily married man with 2 beautiful daughters, it’s simply my peace of mind I seek.

Two sad stories. One guy dies alone with a big bank balance having lived a bare bones life. The other guy spends himself into oblivion with the stress of living on the edge of bankruptcy. There can be some middle ground here. You can lose sleep over other than money issues. A 15 year old high mileage car or truck is likely to leave you broken down far from home at some point. That could add some stress; both concern that a breakdown might happen, and hassles when it does. A lot of stress there. And buying a bit nicer car isn't completely frivolous. (As you age, a bit of comfort helps with aching joints and newer cars have some really helpful safety features like blind spot monitors). The fresh lean meat, fruits, and vegetables that keep you healthy can cost a bit more but good health has value. Garrett seems to be missing companionship. He has no one to share his bounty with. How about a four year old comfy sedan like a Buick or Camry purchased for cash and driven for five more years? How about a better breakfast than oatmeal? How about a wife who contributes some income and wards off loneliness? (Wouldn't it be comforting to have someone to confide in other than your dog?) I think Garrett could do these things while saving a reasonable amount for retirement and living well within his means. He might enjoy his life more, still not worry about the bills, and have no problem getting a good night's sleep.

I really really love this .. LEARN ALOT

Looking rich and being rich are two different things.

Yes! I always buy 2nd hand good quality pre-owner's cars (cash). I keep myself free of debt stress and obligated to pay (feels like a slave). At one time, one new car owners (5-8 years bank installments) told me why I my more happy than her, she felt heavy burderned and I look carefree. 😅😅😅. Satisfying cook meals batched of noodles sauce and soup frozen in freezer. Lots of vegetables with no pressure, eating out restaurants give only few pieces and the unsatisfactory portion (scarcity). Great saving every meals at just a small amount also fell unburden. Great food cooking ingredients, vegetables & fruits at steep discount at 50%-70% off grocers and wet markets. More savings, more quality portions. Just monthly (7 days) allow myself to eat at my favourite food restaurants or eatery places (1 favourite meal a day, mostly morning, lunch and occasionally dinner). You know its great learning, to eat and learn from other's cooking skills, so that my home cooking skills can improve at my liking. Always, keep one busy (free time) everyday. I always look out for branded logo products at pre-owned items shops. Collect them, store it and overtime when the desired numbers is saved, liquidate it as gifts and it becomes part of my family Endowment Fund (Livelihood Pension Fund) drawing yearly interest (income). Friction of small cash investment and high value sales.

Retired at 45 (last worked in 2021) and drive a used 2008 vehicle with more than 182,000 miles. Cryptocurrencies, stocks, and precious metals. Stay quiet, mind your own business, and work hard at your tasks.

I don’t know why AI is so fascinated with the name Marcus. I’m 60 years old and have known one Marcus in my whole life and that was a brother who spelled it Marqis.

Looking poor is a smart ting 😊

"Live below your means."
- Financial Tzu

I sent this to my 3 daughters and 2 grandkids.
I told them I was both guys in this video. I use to have a new car or truck in the driveway, now I have a 05 dodge ram and a 08 chrysler Sebring. IM RETIRED and owe nothing and fill even better than when I had all the new stuff. I even get most of my clothes second hand, pants and shirts at $4 each. The system is always trying to get us to buy, buy, buy. I do, I buy seeds and have a big garden. My wife and I always come fall have around 600 jars of food in the basement storeage of food from the garden. We are both happier and no debt like are first years of marriage wondering how we will pay the bills. The money is there, bill comes in and my wife pays it, and that just fills
AWESOME
WHY DON'T THEY TEACH MONEY SKILLS IN SCHOOLS I WONDER.

It’s insane how close I came to skipping Power Behind Locked Door by Jacob Rockefeller. This isn’t just another book. It genuinely feels like something that was never meant to reach the public.

Dont forget guys, the only one who is important to you is the guy in the mirror, not other people opinions about you.

Live below your means, delay gratification, be free! I learned this lesson the hard way, bled a lot of money on a bmw and a porsche. Dont do the same mistake, invest those money in yourself and in your future, avoid buying depreciating “assets”.

I work from home, don’t own a car, and I’m currently wearing a £6 t-shirt. I imagine most people in today’s society would see me and assume I’m struggling every month, but I think the people reading this comment will understand the reality.

Great job!

Do you really have to be look forward to be rich or do you have to just stay below your means to be rich? You can still be stylish and spend less than you would be in poor. If you can take the extra time on your data manage your clothes assuming that you have a place to live then you don't have to look poor you just have to be frugal Style doesn't matter if you're rich or poor style is style

Nice one
