7 Signs Someone Is Secretly Wealthy, According to Humphrey Yang
Finance influencer (and former financial advisor) Humphrey Yang explained in a recent YouTube video that the wealthy are not always flashy and obvious about their wealth, and that it’s often the quietest ones with the most wealth. Finance influence Humphrey Yang outlined seven signs that someone is secretly wealthy -- these can serve as lessons to anyone hoping to grow their wealth.They don’t talk about their latest expensive purchase, such as designer bags or luxury watches or even their tropical vacations — because typically only people without confidence in their wealth need to brag about it, Yang pointed out.Best yet, they avoid living to excess, “at least in their outward image,” Yang said. That’s because wealthy people understand that “the true luxuries in life are about having options, convenience and freedom, and not about having the most flashy stuff.”Yang said secretly wealthy people don’t buy status symbols, but they do buy “uncommon things” — one of which is time. Wealthy people understand “that the only finite resource in the entire world and in life is the resource of time,” Yang said. So, they often spend “a disproportionate amount of money” on things that allow them to free up their time.
