American Psycho Your Way Through Life

When you’re a very happy internalized person, it’s very hard to look at the changes while crossing all socioeconomic borders because you feel like you’re the same guy. 

But the only thing you can measure is how others see you and how others treat you.

The truth of the matter is that social status and money are much more important than a lot of people give credit to because everybody wants to be somebody and everyone wants to be known. But most of them aren’t.  

Unless you’re exceptionally talented, money and socioeconomic status are a very good way of doing it.

If Life Is Just a Game, Then Money Is How You Keep Score

I once heard this quote and it is completely true. I mean there are other things like kids, legacy…... but without the money, you will be restricted to some extent. 

Money is very good for making you feel good on the inside if you know what to spend it on.

For Example:

A waiter at a restaurant probably sees thousands of people every day, if you leave a $1000 tip. He’ll remember you.

It can get you a reputation within a city, within a country even. It certainly helps build your reputation. 

Imagine you host a meeting at that same restaurant, they would treat you like a KING. 

What Does That Communicate to Your Potential Partners?

His desire to work with you increases almost instantly. 

We humans are inherently tribalistic, it's how we were created by God. When you see a guy being treated with absolute respect and honour, we would want that guy by our side. 

It goes back to tribal days where we would only keep the strongest in the group, and kick out the weakest. The healthy breed with healthy. 

Being in good physical condition is by far the easiest way to experience that shift in social status. That’s the only thing in this world money doesn’t buy. 

Sure, you get access to the best trainers, gyms, and supplements but you have to put in the work to get in good shape. 

Can’t buy your way into that place. For sure!

That is just the way it is.

New York in the 1980s

If you want to get an idea about being somebody, read the book American Psycho. Not the movie, the book. Ignore the murders. Ignore the craziness.

It goes into so much detail about how the people lived in New York in the 1980’s back before social media and how much these things mattered. 

The socioeconomic details of how he viewed other people and measured them up based on the cut of their suit pockets, the pocket squares they’re wearing, where they have their cufflinks, their shoes…….

Now everyone’s in shorts and t-shirts being stupid on Instagram. Everyone stopped caring for a while. 

But I believe those days are coming back. It’s now much cooler to be extremely well-dressed in a multimillion-dollar car, staying at the best hotels, drinking the finest whiskeys and cocktails, and hanging out in the coolest views, they are all now coming back.

And it’s beautiful.
