I’m Rich, You’re Poor

Social media presents wealth as effortless and constant, and I'm Rich, You're Poor sets out to check that picture against the way people actually live. Shabaz Ali works through influencer culture, luxury display and the economics behind the content that fills a feed, using humour rather than lecture to make the point. The book is less interested in advice about getting rich than in how online images shape expectations, spending and self-worth, and it keeps returning to ordinary financial pressure as the reality a highlight reel leaves out. Comedy, social commentary and practical observation share the same pages. Before you add it to the cart: • A look at influencer culture written from the inside of it • Humour used as the main tool of argument throughout • Attention to how online perfection affects spending and confidence • Commentary rather than a step-by-step money guide Suited to regular social media users, students of online culture and readers who enjoy sharp comic non-fiction, available from Boipoka.
