Many people think that the rich can buy anything, such as luxury goods and services that most people cannot afford. Most likely true if they can buy anything.
Seen from the crazy rich who compete to buy luxury items and show it off on social media. It is said that the nature shown by the crazy rich on social media is the action of the new rich (OKB).
Meanwhile, old rich people or old money have the opposite habit. Rich from birth does not make them glare at wealth and choose to live according to their needs. Quoted from Reader's Digest, the five items and services that OKB often buys do not attract the attention of old money. Anything?
TV and Game Channels
Now molding pay television (TV) channels that show movies and series hits from various countries. The same goes for paid games. The reason is, rich people don't have much time to sit and stare at the screen all day.
That's why they don't waste money on subscribing to the latest TV channels or video games. This is evidenced from 2015 Nielses data that showed people with annual incomes below $ 25,000 spend far more time enjoying TV, video games, or radio, compared to people with annual incomes above $ 75,000.
Luxury Brands
Luxury is attached to the rich, but the real rich will not buy well-known brands for themselves. You can look at IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad to Newsweek, who more often buys anything from flea markets.
So did Bill Gates to Time, that he wore a watch for $ 10. In fact, the fact is that a Bill Gates could have bought a Rolex cabinet.
Home Overprice
Again large and expensive houses are often identified with the rich. However, the fact is, even if they can afford it, they do not necessarily buy an expensive house, because they will bid the price of the house like people in general.
Quoted from Reader's Digest, some rich people even choose not to buy luxury homes. Warren Buffet is an example. According to US News and World Report, Warren Buffett, who is said to be the third richest man in the world, still occupies the house he bought in 1958.
Expensive Care
In order to support the appearance, some people, especially those who come from economically able, to take body care from the tip of the foot to the tip of the hair. However, it is different with the really rich who choose a simple style.
Compiled from Time, John Caudwell, a British businessman and billionaire chose to cut his own hair. Similarly, Ingvar Kamprad told Newsweek, He chose to cut his hair when he was in a developing country as a way to reciprocate the favor.
Gadgets
Money can bring a lot of happiness. The latest gadgets that support mobility and entertainment, for example. Even so, rich people really choose to have a once -in -a -lifetime experience rather than a new gadget.
According to Jaime Tardy, author of The Eventual Millionaire, there are many millionaires in the world who still survive with older iPhones than the latest models.
