Influencers Are Going Broke To Look Rich | Asmongold Reacts 

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

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

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"

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

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.

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.

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

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

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'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

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.

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

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

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...

its the fake entrepreneurs that annoy me the most.

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

Old money whispers, new money yells

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

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.

“Canadian money is not real money”😂😂😂

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

“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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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 :)

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

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

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

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

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 can't imagine needing to "look" wealthy.

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

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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.

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😊🎉

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 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.

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.

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..?

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.

"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.

Man I have fallen victim before to comparing myself to seeing others best all the time. This made me feel a little bit better about how I am working now.

“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.

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.

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

the tennis dinosaur clip has me dying what anime was that

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.

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).

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

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.

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!

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

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

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

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 😂

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.

I know where all those bags are made, I can get every one of them next to nothing just without band names on them. I even worked in a factory where we fill many different brands can with exact same thing and they all sold for very different prices, just based on name.

everything costs more in canada too, not just differing currency rates. I was using a vpn and clicked on an email, the $90 sale price headphones were $120 if it thought I was in canada.

A fool and their money is easily parted -Confusedcious

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.

I remember way back when I was in school everyone having blackberry phones because that was the latest trend and I wanted one too, but my mum never bought me one. But in hindsight, I didn’t actually care that much about the phone, I only wanted it because everyone else had one and I wanted to fit in and look cooler to the other kids. I’m glad I didn’t get one, and I’m also glad that I’m out of that mindset now.

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.

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.

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

There was a RU-vidr that was bidding on an abandoned G3 when he saw it in person there was no way it was going to be flying again. It turned out it had been owned by Black Rock and the passenger area was pristine and the jet still looked good from one side. The first thing he said was renting it out to influencers to recoup his money if he ended up getting it. That market must be booming if that's how he thought he was making back $100k+.

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.

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

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

What's your opinion on reading the time. UK clocks (in my experience) tend to be 24 hours, as far as I'm aware US prefer 12 hour time keeping.

The cup thing was funny. It reminded me of middle school (6-8th grade). My family moved to a new town and first day of school some kid was making fun of me and spreading the word that I was wearing k-mart clothing. I was so confused and had no clue what k-mart even was or why where you got clothing would be an insult.

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.

I remember having stanley thermal for coffee I inherited from my dad for construction work. Coffee was always hot. Wonder if I could sell it vintage on ebay lol with all the paint splatter and dents.

I really admire you Asmongold, you're a good kid and your parents should be proud. If I had a son I would want him to be kind and humble like you ❤

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

loved the game bag reference xD

I live Alaska, surrounded by wilderness it's beautiful but cold. Many of us don't buy stuff to flaunt or show off but rather buying stuff to survive day in and day out. After that we may buy some toys like ATV, Fishing, ect.

Caleb hammer colab would be INSANE

Lv bag was $1850

29:00 Those eyes are trying to run away from each other
