Re: Money and wealth question
I have friends who think that I have money based on the way I dress (I am a huge sale shopper) and I have friends who think I am struggling because they know my salary (I work in publishing, where they expect that you are a trust-fund baby who is just working for fun)
When people make assumptions in either direction, I tell them the truth. I dress nicely because I shop the sales and was blessed with a good eye for fashion regardless of the designer. I am getting by on my measely salary for the same reason: I shop sales. And the fact that I save!! I have always been a saver since I was a kid. I saved the money to put almost half of my car's total price as a deposit ($8K on a $20K car).
Yes, we all make choices abouot how we spend our money. How come two of my friends who make almost double my salary are always struggling?
I let people think what they want. And if they want to see my pay stub, I'll show them. I am not ashamed.
