5 things only rich people do because poor people cannot afford to do them:
Don’t you think so?
“Do you have a passport?”
“I’m so sorry I bought it on Kindle, I don’t have the free download link.”
“Premium economy is a wonderful upgrade from Economy class.”
“You like this jacket? This is from Zara.”
“The beachside hotels in Goa are really lavish!”
Some of the lines I get to hear – because I live a minimalist lifestyle.
Instead of feeling bad about it, I am often amused at how people judge someone for not going out or repeating the same pair of shoes. Which in fact, also, allows me to aware of not to judge people based on how less they have. It may just be a choice.
(PS: On a lighter note, when people of Delhi go to Mumbai, they have to take off this judgement.)
To answer the above quetions:
Yes
I only buy legit books, because being an author myself, I know that a lot of people’s bread and butter is dependent on books.
Yes, thanks for this. I have travelled in Premium Economy. Next time, please boast about Business Class:)
Yes baby, I read “ZARA” written over there. I was being genuinely kind.
Of course, enjoy your Goa. I will enjoy it my way without documenting it:)
Firstly, judging isn’t right, because we never know what they are going through.
Secondly, even if they don’t have what you have, we don’t get big or small by the things we own. This comes from an experience of owning some shiny things. In fact, when we boast about things, they own us.
Thirdly, minimalism is the real richness. Ever tried?
Some money lessons:
Tell me, have you tried these and succeeded?
Yesterday my mind played tricks on me. It fooled into making me believe that I needed to buy a lot of stuff.
So off I went to the shopping mall with a list.
Spent time in one store, scrolling and found nothing.
Spent time in store #2, tried clothes and bought nothing.
Entered store #3, where I always find my clothing of my choice. As I was taking the staircase towards the women’s section, a sudden thought hit me: “Where are you wandering around? You already have a lottt of clothes. Going there, you’re going to spend at least 5K for just 2-3 pieces of clothing. For what? For what Bro? Just to stop wearing the existing clothes?”
This thought hit my mind, and within 30 seconds I came downstairs and got out of the mall.
Time was wasted. It’s better to learn from sunk costs and not to sink further.
