Which philosophy do you ascribe to?

I've noticed that these are two of the prevailing paradigms being passed on within the massive wealth generation circles for beginners. I find it interesting because they are dichotomous to a degree.

1.) Practicing Success - Want to one day afford Savile Row suits, dine in Michelin Star restaurants and drive a Lambo? Become that person now and get in that environment. In other words buy expensive suits and dress for success, quit your cheap gym for a more expensive one which attracts successful people, dine at a Michelin Star restaurant once a month and spend time in a Lambo dealership.

2.) Purposefully Saving - Cutting back on the "nice to haves". Making your coffee at home instead of getting a Starbucks every morning, driving a bet-up car/ use the bus instead of a Mercedes. With the overall objective of reinvesting saved funds into the CENTS machine.

#1 seems particularly important for reprogramming you mind and visualizing through making your dream life tangible.
#2 is quite practical in helping you channel funds towards building your dream life now.

Depending on what your dream life is you will probably need to have less of one to have more of the other.

I'm Interested in what your view is?

I personally operate mostly on #2. Although I will be putting more of my finances towards #1 moving forward as I see considerable merit in it.
