Change the perspective of simple life

The opposite of simple living is a luxurious life. Often we equate that simple life like one who looks like no money, poor and miserable. Conversely, if we can wear branded goods, eat in restaurants and always ride the luxury vehicle that characterizes the rich, a lot of money when in fact many people who really rich choose a simple life. While the real have a mediocre money always want to look luxurious life so that credit card debt accumulate beyond the limits of ability.
