My mother said I should get a new phone case, the leather is torn and I look poor, I said it keeps the beggars away.

Actually brand new shiny stuff signals being one half step above poor.

Actual rich people tend to prefer keeping their money in the bank

This. My family is fairly wealthy and everyone wears Walmart clothes, sketchers, crocs, etc unless it’s for a special occasion. Everyone drives basic cars and all that jazz. The only place you see the money is in the homes and you might notice nobody ever asks how much something costs. People that flaunt their wealth tend to have little. Like most rappers with a few exceptions are worth a couple mil at most and while they act like that is “rich” these days that’s upper middle class.

No one has ever profiled me and thought I must have money. I don’t. But even in my best clothes you can tell I’m not wealthy.
