Designer products, luxury cars and Platinum credit cards are associated with financial sucess but?

now days these way of defining financial sucess leads to :

" Fake It Befoer You make It" culture -:

I have met too many people who strut like a rich man, but carry the worries of pauper because thier debts are always a step in front of them.

When "Fake It" takes forever, & " Make It" never comes, the destruction of your loved one's future is the inevitable outcome.

What are you views on this ?

You are right, in a way. And I can be very much confident that, based on my personal experiences -: to avoid that path, is to familiarise one's self with the option of proper financial planning and wealth management.

When you're able to manage your wealth properly ( whatever level of your financial strenght ) , you will establish a platform of stability to further achieve your financial goals while enjoying security and protections for you and your loved ones.

Some people think that only the wealthy need to practise financial planning but in fact it is total opposite - many are rich and wealthy today because they practised a certain measure of financial planning that helped them achive thier goal. ( I take myself and my experiences as real life evidence on this )

I agree with you and I feel it's a pretty superficial way to live but it's they way people have been raised in this country. With someting like 70+% of our GDP due to US consumers I don't think anyone is looking to change things besides those smart enough to know to save money and stay out of debt.

Anyone who looks rich is generally in massive debt.

It's the "millionares next door" that drive beat-up cars from the 80s and 90s still, shop with coupons, and own their own small home.
