Don't get fancy.
This is one of the most important financial tips for middle-class people.
We're all insecure in our lives. However, rich people can (try to) cover their insecurities behind Rolex, Gucci, BMW, and other posh luxuries. The middle-class people cannot do that.
So, trying to be fancy to hide your insecurities per the benchmark set by those rich people is the worst possible idea.

You can't afford those expensive clothes, accessories, foods and holiday destinations… not at least without destabilizingyour financial future.
So, please, please, do not get fancy. Do not try to show offfinancially just to hide your insecurities. Aside from the fact that you cannot really afford this, it’s also incredibly absurd and see-through.
Let your friends and relatives wear expensive clothes. Buy yours from department store or footpath; they are not bad.
Let them wear expensive watches. Get yourself an analog that those street-side vendors sell.
Let them visit the posh restaurants and order foods that they can't even pronounce correctly. You have paani-puri and chaat from the vendor at the bus stand.
Your quest to be fancy will literally ruin your present. Because forever you will play this game of money whose rules are written by others. To that, it's never satisfying. You will never be satisfied. You will never be psychologicallyfulfilled.
So, DO NOT BE FANCY.
