I like appearing poor. I tend to have conversations with much nicer people as opposed to when I dress well.

I like appearing poor because appearing rich is a completely unnecessary expense with almost no value to me. That said, I'm not particularly wealthy.

Interesting. I find that very few people care enough about what other people make to put any effort into deciphering such clues.

And wealthy people around here don't tend to offer many. Being flashy is considered a bit trashy.

>guess how much people make from social clues like what kind of car they drive, what brand clothes they wear, where they go on holiday, how new their phone is...

All poor indicators IMHO.

This makes it worse, of course, as people go into debt in order to appear wealthier than they are.
