Lie about money, its the one thing its ok to lie about all the time. If you have it, no you don't -- youre broke. If you're on track to being a millionaire? No you're not, youre barely making ends meet and its really challenging right now. If you've done some smart moves to limit your ongoing costs? No you didn't, everything has gone way up and you don't know how you'll deal with all these crazy costs.
When you act like Mister money bags, two things happen: first, you find all sorts of new friends who just happen to show up when they know you just got paid. Second, some of your existing friends and family will start looking at you differently, like a resource to be exploited. Its just the nature of some people, they see money and start to think its theirs.
Not that I know for sure, I'm a broke-ass. No, for real. It's why I'm driving around in a 10 year old budget car I bought used in the first place and a bunch of my clothes that had rips got sewn up instead of replaced. I just dont have that kind of money lying around.

A likely story, pal.

There's two ways to improve cashflow: earn more or spend less
It's far easier to spend less than earn more. There's bare minimums for both, and balance is a prudent thing. I've known people who were earning well over 100k in the 90s who ended up broke as soon as a financial trouble hit because they couldn't stop spending and didn't really have it under control to begin with. I know people who spend like they only earn 35k despite earning well over 80k. They drive cars that look like crap but are otherwise mechanically sound. It's clear to me that option 2 is better, but not everything needs to be so extreme.
