Maybe you look like living in a better disposition than them that is why they have this perception of you. The next time somebody comes up to you to say that you are rich or to borrow money, you have to explain to them your real state of living so that they may realize this and know exactly.

yeah they said it directly to me. some will come to me to borrow from me.
when I told them that i don't have money , they will smile and say that they don't believe me and think that I kept my money.

Hell friends. I don't think its wise to discuss about your ends with your neighbors at least. Even if they think you are rich then let it be like that. Only if any neighbor is close or very friendly to you then he/she himself/herself come to know your financial condition. If you can't afford to lend them money then it is nothing to worry about even if they don't believe you.

What do you have actually? I do not know what you have so how can I tell if you have lots of money or not.
But kidding aside I think it is how you handle yourself that will project on what others see in you. So maybe you are still wearing good dress despite your situation that is why people perceive you differently

So that's it. I think living in a subdivision with this gadget and that kind of dress would make others have an impression that you are indeed a well to do kind of a person. But I guess you consider yourself like that since you were blessed with that material things you have right now. Getting a job would be your next target so that you can maintain the image you have right now. I think there is nothing wrong with that kind of impression they have with you for as long as you can handle it and you are not boastful about it.

yeah i think maybe because I dressed formally and i have a brand new big bike and this kind of bike is seldom you can see in my place and there's only two in my subdivision including mine.
but the truth is that the dresses I have and the bike i have and the computer i have are all free. I don't bought it, it was given to me for free.

that might be because of the way you are spending and so generous i believe,dont ever create false illusion,it is not good,anyways try to clear the air if at all you ever get a chance.that will be ideal for you

Then on what basis do they ever think that you have a lot of money.always clear the fake prohibitions and try to behave in the opposite way to them.but being generous is healthy always even if its not your money for sure

great idea. i want to be generous even in small things but i cannot give what i don't have.
i have money but it is not mine. My parents are giving me money when i ask but i only ask money if i need it so when my neighbor comes for money I can't lend it to them because i am needing it too.

the truth is i am generous but I can't give because I don't have. therefore in front of them I am not generous because i cannot give what I don't have.
and the thing is that I don't spend much because I just ask money from my parents because I don't have a job anymore.

i think it is true. they assume that i have when i don't have. and they can't believe when I told them that i don't have money.

Maybe its the way you present yourself. The manner of your speaking and the way you carry self exudes the aura of being rich.

i think it is one of it but you know in our country even if you have graduated from a reputable university and has a good degree it will still be very difficult for them to look for a good job.
unemployment in my country are very high and the salaries are too low.

Oooh.. I know! Maybe its because of your college degree? Sometimes people have this misconception that some professions earn more than others.

People assumed a lot.
It's annoying when they keep saying you have lots of money when you don't have.
They even give you a look as if you are denying because you don't want to lend them money...what a thinking.

haha. i think that is true. when they believe that you have they will come to you and to lend money from you. and if you cannot give they think that you are not a good friend or a good neighbor.

I honestly think that there are something you have that your neighbors don't. I would be an expensive gadget which you afford to bu but they can't. Or the way you live socially, like new clothes, eating in restaurants more often, watching movies every week, etc. If your neighbors don't have the luxury like your, then they would think that you are richer than them.

i believe, it is the gadgets that i have. because many of them doesn't have of the things i have. that is why they think i have more money which i believe.

maybe it is because of the way you dress or the things that you do/ lifestyle or maybe the thing that you use. most of the time these are the things that other people can see and think that you have a lot of money

i think you are correct. because maybe of what i have and how i dressed myself.
so they based their opinion of what they see and what they don't.

You can not know wat a person thinks unless they say it..if your neighbors said it then it must be the house that you own, car that you drive, and your clothes which are all expensive ones. So if you can afford an expensive car, clothings and other gadgets, YOU HAVE LOT OF MONEY...wats the big deal in that..u r rich, so u r.. who cares if you hav a job or no...

yeah most of them said it directly to me when we talk about money. i told them that i don't have money and they think i'm lying.
yesterday, one of my neighbor came to me and ask for donation, i told her that i don't have money now if you can wait i can give tomorrow but she can't wait so i was not able to get money from me. and just this morning my neighbor came to my house while i am still sleeping woke me up just to borrow money from me and I told her that i have money but I will use it and I need my money and I can't lend her but she said that she will just return it as soon as possible.

Most likely, it is how you act. Your actions can speak louder then words. Try to remain conspicuous so not to attract attention.

Hi friend, may be your status is like that, are you living in your own house and is it a big one? May be they are thinking you are a rich person due to your house and living way. So you have a good social status among your neighbors

i think it is. I am living alone in the house of my parents because my parents have another house in another place and they stayed their so I was left alone.
the house where i live in was newly renovated by my parents, new paints and my parents beautified our home where i lived in but the money used in the renovation is not my money it's my parent's money.

Mostly i would say that people would say you have a lot of money it is because of how you show. This means in a way you dress up, the things or materials you acquired, the life style your living and most of all if you speak big $$$. People usually or commonly do this, and even you can assess if what they think of you is right. I cannot justify, but you can be frank to ask them for what reason they think about that.

I think neighbors think that you are rich because you have preoperties or items that make you look rich, for example maybe you wear branded clothing or have a nice watch or car. Things or material possessions are usually why people think others are rich. happy mylotting.
