The biggest flexes are the ones you can't see.
Here's a list of my favorites 👇

1/ Living below your means
If you make $500k/yr but spend $500k a year, you aren't rich.
You're broke.
If you make $100k/yr but save + invest $50k/yr, you're well on your way to becoming rich.

2/ Dressing down instead of dressing up
This was one of the first things I noticed moving to LA.
The people who show up dressed to the 10s are usually the ones trying hardest to climb the social ladder.
The ones who show up in beach shorts and flip flops are multimillionaires.

3/ Listening more than speaking
Some people need to make their status known in every conversation. They name-drop celebrity friends, expensive vacation destinations, etc.
Others (usually far more successful than the person word-vomiting their social status) just listen.

4/ Building opportunities instead of buying luxuries
I love nice things (cars, watches, streetwear, sneakers, etc.).
But what's WAY cooler than any material object is using your money to BUILD things, take creative risks, invest in your friends, and help those less fortunate.

5/ Angel investing
I've learned that angel investing is 90% a social flex.
You want to say, "I invested in that company."
And that's dope.
You're using your money to support other founders, new ideas, and helping change the future.
Flex away.

6/ Choosing how you want to spend your time
This is, without question, the biggest flex in all of life.
The vast majority of people don't have agency owner their time.
They don't get to choose what they work on, when, or with whom.
Freedom = luxury

All of this said, sometimes you just need to buy a Ferrari.
(And that's OK.)
