“No one is so miserable as the poor person who maintains the appearance of wealth.”
— Charles Spurgeon

Simplified Meaning:
Trying to look rich when you are actually poor can make you very unhappy. Imagine you don't have much money, but you keep buying expensive clothes or a fancy car to impress others. This can cause stress because you worry about paying bills and might end up in debt. It's like wearing a mask that hides your real situation and makes you feel even worse. Real happiness comes from being true to who you are and living within your means, not from pretending to be someone you're not. Instead of focusing on appearances, build genuine wealth by saving money and making wise financial choices.
