This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord. –  Jeremiah 9:23-24

This reminds me to not show off and to live according to the bible. For example, a person who is rich and is expressing his wealth to everyone, should think twice about it. I think it’s better to be wealthy and not in the public eye, than to be wealthy and show it off. Most people that become rich, end up buy expensive products so other can see. I think this is the wrong way to express wealth for there are positive ways to express it. Donating to charities, helping people in need, putting your work and money into positive environments is the way to go.
