I was taking a walk the other day with my friend and we were laughing and joking when we rushed into this scene. A guy parked his car practically on the street but I was not bothered by his driving skills - what kind of upset me was the message he was sending through his registration plates.
I don’t mind his BMW and if he is - like he claims- rich, he should also have more tasteful way to show us his “wealth”.
Like I said, it was not the car that he can afford that made me pissed (my best friend drives one, for that matter) but his foolish message and attitude. I know people who have money, I know people who really don’t. The things is - Do you really think money makes you rich? This guy (or a lady) is actually very poor, in my opinion.
Just in case you don’t know - average salary in my country is less then 800 €, in Serbia, my neighbor country it is less then 400 €. Showing off with your having is really disgusting in a way. Some of the coolest people I know- and you know I hang around only with the cool ones - could have zillions on their account and never had this pathetic need to show that to the world by putting expensive things on themselves. Yes, maybe they were expensive, they just didn’t yelled this loud about it. After all, if Michelle Obama could make her public appearances in H&M clothes, WTF is this guy’s problem?
To the point... like my dad’s bio on his Steemit account says: Wealth is the peace of mind you have, your family and your friends... Everything else is just money and it’s funny how people pay so much attention to that.
Don’t forget to be wealthy every day! And please- don’t be an idiot like this BMW guy :)
Love from Zagreb and have a great day,
