Are you talking about the $30,000 millionaire?
The people who make about $30,000 a year but live like they make millions? The ones that are in such dept it is hard to believe that they will leave this world before they pay it off(especially if they do not change their live style)

Today’s day owning a million dollars in assets won’t make you rich!

We recently renovated our house because it was getting very tight. We took out a loan to cover the costs and are in debt too. So many people said we’re rich because of what we did. We’re really far from it.

I think you answered your own question.

Yes, sometimes financial decisions that we make, with loans, refinances etc. along with personal spending preferences make others have assumptions.

Good for them.
What does it matter?
Wealth isn't a middah.

The question is why people think so...
Is it because they’re savvy?
Is it because they overspend and are in debt?
Is it because something else?

We live simply and even so it’s super tight.
We have well-off parents and people make comments about us “acting like we don’t have money”. 🤷🏻♀️ We don’t. And if they do gift us, they choose what to gift, we can’t exactly take a credit note and apply elsewhere.

People think I’m loaded because dh father is what you would call super wealthy. Guess what? That doesn’t make us rich- that just makes us living off of charity! Iyh dh will get a better paying job and hopefully then we can financially independent but until then.... And yes we do travel with them a lot and go to fancy hotels and I do have beautiful jewelry. So people love to drop their jealous comments which I don’t appreciate. We don’t even own a house yet so much for being “rich”.

A friends father is a popular play producer as well as the owner er of one of the local circulars where I live. He's seen as rich when he's not more then comfortable. I always feel bad when people bad mouth him as being stingy.

People think my DH is rich. He has been told many times that he looks like a gvir. What’s funny is that they tell him this, even though he’s wearing a faded coat bought 20 years ago, has a hole in his pants and is wearing 3 yr old shoes. His bank account may even be in the red and we are probably considered poor. I’m not sure how people judge whether someone is rich or not. But we find it humorous that this happens all the time.
