Using an iPhone in Africa seems to be a sign of MONEY 
..
I don't have an iPhone...
Some of my employees who use iPhone 13 believe their phone takes better pictures than mine. So when we need to take pictures, I simply ask them to use their iPhone to take the picture. The problem is that iPhone users in South Africa have a covenant never to send pictures taken with their iPhone on time.
Why am I sharing this?
Do not let society give you a definition of wealth.
Define wealth for yourself.
If you don't need a new phone, don't buy it just because everyone is buying it.
Kill the desire to look rich - that's your poverty background trying to betray you. Kill that voice that wants you to announce to the world that you have made it. The truth is that if you still have to announce that you have made it, then you still haven't made it. When you make it, Forbes etc will be running after you and you will hire experts to HIDE wealth.
Here's a tip...
If you are a young man or woman who has started seeing NEW money, find yourself a mentor who has seen more money and still lives a quite life. I have mine. I have shared so much about him. He runs a Silicon Valley I.T company which makes over 1.4 Billion USD turnover yearly yet he uses Uber when he comes to South Africa.
If you come from a poor background, you will need to work harder to control the tendency to show off.
Be conscious. Be intentional. Remain focused.
