Everyone does it to a certain extent because we all budget it can be as simple as not buying Jordans but buying 4 pair of 50$ tennis shoes instead. Ur appearance is everything at times. U may be struggling but ur hair cut u look good.until the next time u can afford it. Ima look like a million bucks even tho I don't have it. There's different levels to it ie buying Gucci and ? when u can afford rent but I'm not talking bout that foolishness lol

Yeah, faking it till you make it goes far beyond acting like a fronting rapper. Camoflauge is a survival tactic in politics and the wild.

I think the meaning of fake it til you make it is being misunderstood. It doesn't mean you strut around spending beyond your means living a sham. It means truly believing you are now what you see yourself in the future, it's a mind set, not a fashion accessory.

no, the bolded is precisely what it means.
Ever hear of a $30K Millionaire? They're the epitome of "fake it till you make it". Back around 2006-2007 the term was being thrown around Scottsdale 'cause of all of the guys out there in leased 3-series BMW's, condo in even more expensive North Scottsdale that they shared with 4-5 friends, expensive clothes, poppin bottles at the club 3 days a week, trips to Vegas and Beverly Hills, etc... all while working at a call center, payday loan shop, or some other low end job. The only thing they end up with is mountains of debt and nothing to show for it.

Im at the point where I dont care what the next person spends their money on as long as it doesnt effect me. If they wanna "fake it till they make it" by driving a new BMW or whatever, so? Maybe somehow they make it work. It happens. "Theyre living beyond their means" look, people want everybody to be frugal and live in some box. Its not something I'd do but they can live their way. Im not a "fake it" type but thats them. I think partially there's a little bit of feeling some way that somebody else is "flyer" well they will have the consequences and results too. Not your concern. you dont even really know.

Well they are just stupid and most likely aren't going to get anywhere like that. You are whatever you believe you are. Believe you're a ? good for nothing, and that is what you will be. Believe you are a millionaire and you will be one. People who made it big didn't sit around himming and hawing if they were ever going to have millions, no they ? knew it with all their mind body and soul they were going to have millions, they believed they were a millionaire before they were they just needed to haul ass and get there.
We live our entire lives through the confines of our mind. Everything is perception. The mind is your playground, you're the judge, the jury and the subject. I'm not saying you wake up one day with a whole new thought process and mind map, nah that ? takes work especially if you weren't raised with efficient tools. -
Ain't no future in frontin, live within your means! Ain't nothing funny about going out, and your card declines!

If you're shy and introverted you have to fake being social until you have good social skills.
Sometimes u need to fake that you're good something until you actually are good at it. Like my job that I don't deserve and should have been fired from years ago -
Wow, folks actually work and strive to be fake. I love it. Easier to exploit.
