Be like Asmon, rich in your bank account but poor in hair.

Rich people stay rich by pretending to be broke, and poor people stay poor by pretending to be rich.

Buying things we don't need, with money we don't have in order to impress people we don't like.

"I just spent 10-15000 on this hobby and I started playing ten months ago." All the 40k players, "Amateur!"

brands like Gucci aren't really what actually wealthy people use... they're aimed at people who want to pretend to be rich

The guy renting a fake airplane so that influencers can pretend they have a private jet is the modern version of "When there is a goldrush, sell shovels"

Fun fact: A leased Lamborghini Aventador is about $6000/month. Meaning if you prioritize for financial stuff to a single car, you can look rich. Thats how lots of “car-fluencers” get high end vehicles rather quickly. Source is straight from my local NYC Ferrari dealer.

As a chauffeur who's worked as a driver for a rich person for a while, it's true, liability reasons. Also they don't dress to impress or care to impress anyone at all. They care about 1 thing their money can buy them. Comfort. If you see a rich person being driven around in a luxurious mercedes. It's not because that car is half a mil. It's because that thing is comfortable as hell, you can go full speed over speed bumps and hardly notice it. Stretched vehicles are comfortable to drive aswell, just a bit annoying to do tight corners with, but it's really comfortable even as the driver. Also, never talk to them about money onless you are rich yourself, because they'll assume you want something from them. Just never bring it up, buy your own lunch/drinks when waiting, just never ask for anything (except your promised salary) and you just might get random bonus' and tips. Same for famous people, don't talk about their fame, job or social status, just don't. If it still is a topic of frequent conversation, the person is usually not very likable/nice. If they never bring it up, it's probably a relief to them that you don't either. That's how my poor ass keeps getting reinvited to rockstar parties anyway

I was materialistic in high school and I cringe thinking about those days. These people actually have fully developed brains and are still this way though.

"you're bound to come across an influencer that seemingly has a better life than you" If they had a better life they wouldn't be posting about it on instagram instead of coping

The thing about all the private stuff like jets is that actual rich people have them to keep a low profile. People think that stealth wealth is a new trend, but rich people have been doing that forever.

You need to find the right balance between dying with a bunch of money and spending every paycheck as soon as you get it.

Buying cabin in the woods to block out the rest of the world sounds like the best kind of materialism

Bullying some kid cause they didn't have a $40 cup is so stupid, wtf.

You’re telling me influencers are soulless liars and pretenders? I knew that 15 years ago.

I remember being 6 years old whining to my parents that I wanted some pokémon cards. Then they bought a pokemon card-maker software and in an instant I realized how ridiculous my whining for those overpriced pieces of cardboard was. But I wasn't done being an idiot just yet. Pogs, I need em'. Goggos, I want em'. Even marbles was something I had to have. My father almost went nuts dismantling my wants, but he succeded in the end and drilled some common value sense into my head, lol

Influencers going broke acting like they aren't who they actually are? fuck em.

Asmon gets rich while making himself look poor Completely opposite lol

“My new hobby cost me ten months of mortgage” the disconnect some people have, then again good on them for being able to do it.

15:49 "It's like basically putting shit on yourself to impress pigs." Damn, actually well said.

Too many people still associate more expensive with better quality which is essentially wrong in almost every market.

As you get older vanity purchases will matter less and less to you and you'll get excited about shit like a new air fryer

Whenever I hear someone describe themselves as a "social media influencer" all I hear in my head is "I''m a giant douche bag."

There is a line between cheap stuff that is inconvenient because of bad quality and decent/good quality which will make it more comfortable , but you will have to pay more for it. When going into luxury, it goes back to inconvenient, Luxus items are a burden, it breaks down , is hard to repair and you will always try to never damage it

“Canadian money is not real money”😂😂😂

its the fake entrepreneurs that annoy me the most.

Imagine if people flexed their ROTH IRA's or 401ks over flexing lambos. We'd live in much better world.

My home town in the Scottish highlands is surrounded by private shooting/fishing estates and the like so I've seen a whole lot of the really wealthy. One of the richest permanent residents lived in a reasonable house (just 10 bedrooms) on the edge of town, he had a cook, a cleaner and an aide. If you saw him in the street however he looked like a older guy wearing patched/scuffed clothing and being extremely amiable like a nice grandpa (unless he also went past in his rolls royce blowing his cover). The truly rich buy what they need and get the most cost effective - they seldom care about image when it comes to their day to day lives. Oh and when the town wanted to make a local museum he immediately just bought them a nice building and gave them the deeds without any expectation of being lauded, indeed he even refused to have his name on the project. The majority of the wealthy I've interacted with are quite down to earth, its the wannabees that cause all the fuss.

I worked for a company where the prez told me they pretty much “timeshare” their private jet with 10 other companies. It’s a fraction of the cost.

I don't have a stanley. I have a Yeti but basically the same thing. I can confirm $30 to $40 for a nice cup you will use all day, everyday is well worth it. Doesn't leave condensation on desk and don't have to get up to get more ice. Also have an Rtic brand one and works just as good.

The most expensive 40k army is admech at $1800 Canadian for a 2k army. Space marines are like $700-900 Canadian for a 2k army

If you really like branded clothes, buy them off-season like buy summer cloth in the winter vice versa for the summer. You save a lot of money from off-season sales and end of line stuff.

Old money whispers, new money yells

imagine buying handbags when you could be buying a fully customized and fitted fullplate armour

For Gray knights you can get exactly 2000pts with enhancements and 3 combat patrol boxes the 3 boxes together cost $408. That doesn't include tools, glue, primer, and paint tho.

24:41 I’ll fill in what Asmond was gonna say “They are getting railed in that plane ✈️ “ 🤣🤣

That’s all my old high school classmates on instagram stories acting like they’re celebrities

That's what I've been thinking. All these instagram girls looking like they have millions of dollars posting videos in a big ass house or lavish vacation. I'm here wondering...Man, are they really that rich..?

Thank you for explaining your day to day from your perspective, I’ve felt similar about my life even though other people thought the opposite and hearing your perspective made me feel much better :)

Fake it until your family stops asking if you're okay.

"This is Canadian money, it's not real money" Made my day 😂

17:59 Can confirm: being fit, with shoulder definition, waist and chest/back muscles = nearly all shirts just sit so much better. Esp if they are small enough to be tight but not too tight, definatly makes me go from like an avarge 6 face to an 8 (general feedback I have gotten over the years). I would have to say though, the quaility of the shirt is no longer in the price tag, but choice of material and stitching. So you can easily find a good low cost shirt that will last a while, and the muscles make it look good. I still suggest getting slim fit, as its not a good look for a guy with a blouse...

lots of rappers rent their jewelry and cars too. thats sad

Real wealthy people know that the true purchases that matter are real estate and securities. Flashy clothes and extravagant public lifestyles don't earn money.

19:25 Reminds me of kids with real and fake Beyblades back at my pre school times 😂

I can't imagine needing to "look" wealthy.

Sometimes paying for namebrand isnt bad. I bought an under-armour duffle bag in 2015, and that thing has not a thread loose after almost 10 years of practice and flying on airplanes.

I am humored by people focusing on materialistic things as a perception of value. You can look well off without spending a lot, or even anything at all. Like I got a PC setup that is on paper valued at $7K. However, I spent like less than $900 actually building it. All 5 of my Dell 144hz 1440p monitors were from a office surplus sale each going for $20. My Lian Li tower is from a college kid moving out, and 55” desk is from a GoodWill that doesn’t realize height adjustable desks are very expensive. The only thing I bought brand new were the SSD and hard drives.

I remember as a kid all the 'cool' kids had trapper keepers, and the poor kids would just get a couple of those cheap $0.50 colored folders. When I finally got a trapper keeper that thing turned out to be a mess and was bulky as hell. I stuck with it for one school year, tossed it and never looked back. To this day, even with everything being digital, I still keep a bunch of those cheap folders on hand and they're damned useful.

Forget lions and eagles, if you smear shit on yourself, you ain't even impressing the sheep.

Quiet luxury is not a thing, it’s always been referred to as “stealth wealth”.

"It's so dumb to spend money on something that you have no need of." I was thinking while at the same time looking for guitar nr 134 and 135.

Same Asmond!!! Love people use things, don’t use people and love things.

At 15 50,bro,im dirt poor and those brands dont impress me,so you missed me with another shot What impresses me in having alot of money is the fact that you either a) live a slow life you always wanted without giving a damn b) invest in a business of your own(whatever genre you might want to invest in)and succeed(cause success really means that you have brain behind the cash)

Nobody could ever get my references when I would reference video game shit to real life when I was younger and now it's the norm sometimes I feel like my day has come

I like showing off my shoes to friends. I am extremely proud that I managed to find some shoes on discount for $2 that were basically my size.

Caleb Hammer is awesome. If you ever feel bad about your finances, watch that channel and you'll quickly realize that you're not as big a fuck up as you think.

2:23 unless it’s good insulation. Winter gets really cold. Knowing people living with these windows. Always worry about strong wind, and strong sunlight.

Kids that didn't have Pogs in 3rd grade couldn't say shit to me

That mom taught her kid the wrong lesson. Congrats, your kid will grow up to be completely shallow and not think for herself. You should have taught her that she shouldn't care what other people think, she liked the cup, she should go with that SHE likes.

Personally I just go for whats softest most comfortable. What i will say is if something costs 3 times as much but lasts 5 times is long is it worth it? Good example of this funnily enough is toilet seats. Toilet seats with a plastic hinge vs metal, metal hinge seats cost 3 or 4 times as much but last 10 plus years or more compared to the plastic hinge ones go once a year.

The day Asmon flexes his Wendy's Chili and Dr. Pepper on Instagram is a perfect day.

100% I now want a hermit house building set of videos, just like with games Asmon will just watch as builders do the work and talk about how cool it is!

I'm sorry but as a woman... Louis Vuitton is the gaudiest eyesore and I cannot believe people would ever buy it. There's way classier luxury brands out there.

the tennis dinosaur clip has me dying what anime was that

25:00 I split my coffee. That's a skit bro. It's from Stevie Emerson. 🤣🤣🤣

People in England used to rent pineapples to impress people at dinner parties when they were a new thing.

You see these people in the south of france,once we saw a girl in high heels boarding a yacht via the swimming platform to take a pic ,teak decks and high heels do not go together.The yacht staff held her until the gendarmerie came.

“buying an expensive thing won’t make you happy” I bought a sportbike last year, and the happiness ROI has been amazing. I still feel that initial rush of excitement every time I ride it, it’s just not getting boring or stale. something like this is well worth those fat stacks if it brings you long-term happiness. having a birkin bag or whatever definitely won’t do the same thing.

I make a very good living. I am very comfortable. I can point to 90% of my clothing & I'll just keep saying WINNERS, WINNERS, Winners, Winners, Winners. Most shirts are 30-50$, pants 40-70$, t-shirts 5-30$. Shoes up to 150$. Sun glasses 100$ Max but usually 50$. Don't waste your money, there are gym memberships , video games & food to buy😊🎉

Asmons life goal is literally how im tryna be…my mom always calls me crazy when i say i wanna move back to my small hometown cuz no one lives there besides the gas station attendant 😂

I have grown up in a working class area here in England and moved out to a middle class area. Both sides have something in common and that is wanting to appear richer than what they really are while getting themselves in debt and not being able to afford the basic bills in their home and blaming the government (partly true) and the country for their life going down hill. The middle class might have a little bit more money but they also fall to the image of appearing rich and thinking they are closer in image to the upper class when the upper class see them just the same as the working class. For me personally if my rent is paid and the food cupboards and fridge is full as well as the gas and electric then I’m very happy and I feel rich. If I can afford to treat myself (books or a game) at the end of those bills then it’s nice but doing that every month and wasting my money always left a sour taste in my mouth. I hate wasting money. I’d rather save it towards a nice trip with me and my husband somewhere or a nice dinner together. I’ve never been into the theme of looking rich despite many in my family acting like this.

OMG you have to clip that handbag to wow 4 slot bags comparison bit :D 22:37

loved the game bag reference xD

In this day and age... perception is reality. Doesn't matter if its for physical appearance, financial status, or experience... everyone's faking it until they make it (or until they crash and burn).

And I thought Warhammer was too much... My hobbies are apparently cheap in comparison, my Tyranid army doesn't even get to 500 usd...

A very wealthy person once told me there are two types of people. Ones who tell you how much something cost, and those who tell you how good of a deal they got.

The classic Ret Paladin in Naxx BiS versus classic Fury Warrior in Pre-BiS analogy was spot on 😂 the Pre-BiS Warrior is still pulling the bigger Numbers

A fool and their money is easily parted -Confusedcious

Wow was happy to see Caleb making it big enough to get a Asmon reference. My life has improved significantly since starting to watch him last year

I like how this video's ads contain influencers pitching an ad for something. really sets the vibe

Bow Wow was on my Frontier flight in 2016 with his boys taking selfies with their shoe boxes. We were flying Denver to LA for $48.

lol imagine how many chatters were like 'imma go learn pickle ball now.'

Apartment in a small town. Cheap living, quiet, air conditioned, no lawn work, next to no crime. As long as you don’t have loud neighbors, it’s a slice of heaven.

22:30 I wish more people saw it this way. Some of this designer stuff is quite literally of the same construction, made by the same sweatshop labor as the no-name stuff.

The most recent and probably most expensive brand purchase i made was a Beats headphone, and it was on discount. Not too long after i regretted the purchase as it was unnecessary, its just something ive always wanted since i was a kid. Its better to make choices with logic than with emotions.

see i had kids used to tell me im cheap for using a bic pen at school and they all had parker pens, funny thing is i used to sell there parker pens back to them after stealing them from them the day before lol.

in this economy too, crazy.

At least a cup is useful. Can’t say the same for the other‘luxury’ items.

The funny thing is that with Watches (for example), the fakes are so good that you cant tell them apart. Unless your a watch veteran whos been in the industry for 20 plus years and can take it apart piece by piece, you wont find the one digit that's .1 nanometers larger that the other digits. That's the best thing about 'luxury' items, they can be faked quite easily and the fakes are so good only legitimate experts can tell the difference

I love telling my friend about how broke I am. I always come up with new material. We all have a good laugh.

You can buy "Fashion" cloth brands in certain countries for 5-10x smaller price. They are not fake but its just b-grade stuff that has minor fault. Some products they forgot to remove the original price tags and production country is totally wrong.

Caleb hammer colab would be INSANE

36, no kids, takes up pickleball to hide the growing anxiety and depression

I'm half Chinese, growing up in China, Beijing in particular, we can understand that money and appearances of wealth are an integral part of Chinese culture, which extends to many other Asian nations as well. But in Beijing there is a very old saying, "Look rich no matter how poor to get". This is really an ancient saying. Because appearances are SO important there and in all of Asia, if you look rich, then the leaders will think you are more competent and will give you better results and will be more likely give you a promotion, etc. This is similar to the saying we have here in America, success begets success. But now we see people in China buying LV and Gucci (which in reality are only entry level luxury brands), but they live on the street. We also see a trend where Chinese people will borrow expensive clothes to look like they come from good families to attract a good husband or wife, but actually they are poor or from rural communities. It's quite interesting.

Lv bag was $1850

I would love to see Asmongold driving down the street in a Toyota Century with a pink pimp suit and hat with a feather in it.

As far as the 40k question, about the most expensive army is pretty much the Guard. You're looking at about $1,700 for an infantry horde.

It's funny how everyone has different goals in life. My ideal retirement is a small cottage on the water down in something like South Carolina that's close to golf courses in a small town.

Best news I've heard since the chopper crash
