    Agreed as I acquire wealth slow and steady I speak less and move quietly in my Toyota Camry. All I have left is my mortgage in 5 years. Age 32m.

  • @genxtechguy says:

    I try to abide by this rule with everyone I know, but where I’ve run into slight problems, is with my parents. These are the people I’m the closest to and know the most about me. Even though I wouldn’t classify myself as “wealthy” I’m several leaps and bounds above my parents. I still have to budget and stay in control of my funds … IF I ever want to retire. My parents have started to make comments like … oh you have plenty of money don’t worry about spending on … such and such (something related to them). They seem to make the assumption that I’m just out here buying Bentleys and traveling the world, when in fact, I save, work a lot, … and frankly don’t do much else.

    Some people want you to do well UNTIL you start doing better than them. Then they get weird. Especially family. I’m not super wealthy but I’m doing ok. Everything I do is low-key and plain except for my sports car that I treated myself with.

    • @Rew123 says:

      A sports car huh? So low key! So modest! Rich a******.

    • @k5sss says:

      @@Rew123I used to have sports cars when I was poor. Or maybe I was poor because I had sports cars. Either way, I don’t assume anyone driving a sports car is rich.

      I just posted about my dad but this is my mom too. She’s as noncommittal, vaguely supportive as can she can manage but once you prove you’re outperforming her? Now you’re an elitist who needs to be taken down a peg and the target of her short temper especially if its money related.

  • @lukem121 says:

    Rule number one: never let anyone know how much money you have, because money makes people jealous — especially if they’re broke, they might rob you.

    • @H..M.. says:

      A corollary to this is: and 60% of the people are broke.

    • @peterrobbins6691 says:

      Especially your own family. I made a lot of money after working hard and taking some risks. I made the mistake of telling my brother, he was al over me trying to get my money and trying to make me feel guilty if I didn’t give it to him. I told him to go make his own money. Now he is jealous and won’t talk to me.

  • @Chahlie says:

    Been struggling with my adult kids seeing me as an atm. I recently found this quote accredited to Warren Buffett- “If your phone doesn’t ring while you are struggling, don’t pick up when you are winning”. I literally starved at one point in my life and I get struggling, but just do not let absolutely anyone have any idea you are doing well, as hard as it may be.

  • @itsa11good23 says:

    I wouldn’t say I’m over overly wealthy by any means I’m 27 and debt free and starting my journey of investing in saving. But I kind of find a power in love talking to people about my finances because I want to help friends and family do the same thing. They may not know the exact number of dollars I have in my bank account, but I try to be transparent with finances because people hide that information so much and I think it can do a lot of good and helping others like me who did not come from a financial background parents were bad with money and it’s all self-taught

    • @101289teutonicguy says:

      I’m glad you’re doing well, but what I found was that no one listens to you, and they assume you have more money than you do and try to mooch.

    • @jablanguado7738 says:

      I’m in a similar boat to you, but I’m a little younger and have been investing for almost a decade now. What I usually do is teach people how to get started investing, and how to get themselves prepared (out of debt, fixing bad money habits, thinking of today and tomorrow instead of one or the other) for their future.

      I have taught probably 15-20 of my friends over the years, and they haven’t asked about where I am financially, not a single one. I think it’s because when you speak they realize how little they know about finances, and maybe just think it disrespectful to ask. Though I’m pretty transparent too.

      Whenever I share my finances I usually share what it previously was some random year(s) ago.

      When talking with people, what they reslly need isn’t to know your wealth, it is financial education. And they gobble it up once you show them the power of their long-term investing.

    • @cbrent65 says:

      I agree

    • @hogroamer260 says:

      Just speak in general terms. It’s good for people to know they don’t have to work till 65. If you start young and are serious, most can retire at 50. I never really thought that was a possibility. But, through diligence, I retired at 56. Not wealthy but no worries of running out if money. As long as I’m not stupid. Turn them on to finance channels on You Tube.

    • @cristinabolanos47 says:

      Totally understand, you want good for others too 🥰. Keep helping just talk in general terms and share some struggles too, that’s what I do. “Nah not eating out I’m a little short this month” ( yes cause I invested strong when the market dropped) , not lying

  • @BigJeezie says:

    I’m not rich but doing very well, finally. I learned this first hand with my own mother.

    • @hogroamer260 says:

      “Rich” is in the eye of the beholder. The poorer someone is the less it takes for them to think you are rich.

  • @hunnybunny4306 says:

    My biggest benefit from building wealth was taking a pay cut to leave my stressful 60 hour per week job for a more enjoyable 35 hour per week job, which has greatly improved my happiness, relationships, and health. And due to compound interest, I’m still building wealth even though my savings rate is a lot lower than it used to be.

  • @sasukesuite1 says:

    I want to be rich to own my life. I want to be able to wake up and decide what I want to do, not be forced to go to work. Money buys you freedom above all else.

  • @BrandonBousquet says:

    Walked into a dive bar in Bellevue Nebraska during their “Reuben Fest” and was shocked to see Warren Buffett just eating with normal people. You’d never know he was a billionaire if he wasn’t Warren Buffett.

  • @KatelynnCox-qb5er says:

    Getting rich is only half the battle—keeping it is where most people fail. The moment others know about your wealth, the expectations and requests start pouring in

    • @RaymondJack-el2js says:

      Money changes relationships, whether you want it to or not. The fewer people who know about your success, the fewer problems you’ll have to manage.

      Smart wealth-building isn’t just about making money—it’s about protecting it. That means keeping quiet and having the right strategies in place

  • @dewilson55 says:

    My husband and I paid off our home in our early 30s and made the mistake of telling a family member who was struggling financially, who we thought would be happy with us. It led to a strained relationship for a few years, and we learned an important lesson. We keep our financial situation private now.

    What’s crazy is that after reading Invisible Laws of Prosperity, you realize how much you were missing out on. But it’s never too late to evolve. That book holds incredible insight, it really shifted my perspective. I feel more confident and driven toward my goals now.
