When You Get RICH, Tell NO ONE (Act Like You're Poor)

Welcome to another episode of the Building Your Money Machine Show! Today, I’m shedding light on one of the most misunderstood secrets in wealth-building—why the truly rich keep their wealth quiet and what that means for living a life of freedom, choice, and peace of mind.

If you’ve ever thought that being rich means showing off the fancy car, watch, or taking extravagant trips, let’s flip that script. In this episode, I dive deep into the reality behind loud wealth—the hidden stress, the debt, and the attention from scammers and opportunists. I’ll walk you through why acting broke (not literally poor, but quietly and respectfully wealthy) actually protects your relationships, your sanity, and, yes, even your safety.

We’ll explore practical action steps to audit your expenses, rethink your relationship with social media, and use the power of financial camouflage as a secret weapon. I’ll show you why stacking assets—not brands—is how the rich stay rich, and how you can redirect just one status purchase into building your own money machine.

IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:

• Why announcing your wealth is the fastest way to lose it
• The psychological burden and hidden stress behind performing wealth
• Action steps to audit expenses and reduce image-driven spending
• How social media invites judgment and scammers
• The silent advantage of flying under the radar, negotiating better deals, and avoiding “rich person surcharges”
• Real-life role models of quiet wealth and what you can learn from their habits
• How to define your “freedom number” and build your money machine
