Скачать или смотреть Living a Financial Lie: Luxury Poverty Financing.

Luxury poverty is real — and the iPhone 17 launch shows us why.

Apple’s new iPhone 17 Pro starts at $1,099, and the Pro Max can climb all the way to $1,999. With pre-orders opening tomorrow, millions of people will sign up — but here’s the problem: most won’t pay cash. They’ll finance. They’ll trade in. They’ll lock themselves into carrier plans that turn a $30–$40 monthly phone into a $120–$150 monthly bill once you add AppleCare and service.

This isn’t just about the iPhone. It’s about luxury poverty — when people look wealthy because they own luxury items, but their finances are fragile behind the scenes. It’s the financial lie: luxury becomes the baseline, buying status and belonging while cycling debt It’s income inequality, purchasing items instead of funding an emergency fund. It’s an endless treadmill of payments and monthly subscription that keeps you from building stability and ultimately real wealth.
