It is the need to impress, the need to show that one is doing well. The rich don't have anything to prove to anybody, their assets speak for them.

Moreover, the rich would rather spend to buy more income-generating assets than liabilities. The reverse is the case for the poor and middle class.
And that is the major reason why they are poor, because they love to spend a lot.

You clearly don't understand both of my earlier comments that you responded to.

Let me make it clear now, perhaps you need to read slowly:

THE RICH/WEALTHY CAN DO ALL THE THINGS YOU SAID BECAUSE THEY CAN AFFORD IT.

ALSO, THEY'D RATHER BUY ASSETS MORE THAN LIABILITIES !!!!!

If a rich man buys 20 mansions for 20 girlfriends, it's because they can afford it.
If that is the case, then how do you define a poor man, and how do you define a rich man.

How do you define the spending capacity of a man?

How do you know or feel that it is only a wealthy men that buy asset?

You don't know the meaning of affordability!

That you have #20m to buy a car doesn't mean you can afford the car. Affordability is not defined by how much you have. The rich can also do all these things because they can afford it. Their assets buy them luxuries.

You also need to know the difference between extravagance and lavish spending. They're different.

If a Dangote spends $100m on his daughter's wedding, would you call that lavish spending or extravagance? Don't forget a wedding isn't done every day, week, month or year.

Conversely, if someone earning #100k buys a #20k perfume, what would you call it? That's 20% of their income!

I've said my piece. Thank you.

Sometimes those flashy wears and dresses a poor guy wears is 2nd hand wears and low quality they bought in an ordinary market and the wears costs cheap..so when you see them wearing it you might think the dress is very expensive and of high quality
very true if you see many first grade thrift clothes you won't even believe they are thrift clothes at first,and they are of very good quality than even the massly produced new ones the wealthy buys at costly prices self!!

So your own definition of poor people is when they dress decently and enter Keke? undecided

Guy,you never know life........

Oyibo man wey say --"Dress the way you want to be addressed". You think say na fool abi?

There are wealthy men who dress too much too......Just that,not everybody has the time for such things, and most times it even depends on the kind of mood one is ,at that moment.

Personally,I love dressing simple..... Whether I guide or not,that's my kind of person...So stop generalizing these things please.
Louder bro.

The need to belong .. Explains their poorness ..

Buy shiny things and go dey soak garri for house ..

Rich men are always thinking of being in that state as being already used to it so instead of spending on frivolous thing they rather invest in things to triple their money ...

In Nigeria, there are lot of advantage in dressing okay.
.
1. To prove what you are not

2. To scam unsuspecting gullible clients/customers

3. To fake it until you make it

4. To mask your identity

5. And so on and so forth

The last time I checked, dressing too much has nothing to do with rich or poor but personality.

MICHELLE OBAMA IS RICH , YET SHE DRESS GORGEOUSLY.


Dino Melaye always dress to kill, yet he is rich.
Dino Melaye is poor, all he had is his monies.

You can tell someone to explain that for you if you don’t understand.
