These types of shows sends the mind racing dream to be rich and live that way. What you see is that there are many ways of life that is shown is supported by the company, not the stars themselves. It is part of the perks they get to the public.
The vast majority of wealthy people in America do not live this way. On the contrary studies show that most rich people live below their means, and always have. They decide to save rather than spend. Problem is, no one notices them until they are rich. At this point, years of steady savings began to pay-off, and they can enjoy a bit of money. Buy a nicer home, or a nice car. That's when people notice. For them it is the culmination of lifelong plan, you seem to be an overnight success.

To be rich you need to plan your attack years in advance. Currently, there is someone living within a few blocks of you, who will one day be rich. Right now, you're both in similar circumstances. But as the years pass, they will pull away from the crowds. They have routinely been planning for this day as we speak. They are not necessarily planning to be rich. They just want to be comfortable, but the strategy is the same.
Here's an example to demonstrate my point. Middle class Americans carry an average of $ 15,000.00 for a credit card, they earn $ 65,000.00. It's a long equivalent to 23% of their annual earnings. This 18% of net worth. Wealthy Americans carry less than 1% of credit card debt, relative to their net worth. This is a stunning difference.
Everyone has heard people say the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Well, needless to continue to accumulate debt and interest, thus helping to make this expression true.
People complain about government policy in favor of the rich. No amount of government policies that can create wealth for the masses. The hard truth is that only one person on earth can do for you, and you can find it. Most people do not like, but it's true.

In my life, I watched my parents save and manage money. My dad did not have a high paying job, and my mom was unable to work. Some close relatives around us earned far more than my dad, even today, because my parents are financially secure as any of them. More than some. They had to plan and budget for years to achieve success, they still have the habit today.
Today I pattern my life after them and it was a blessing.
