Do not ball on a budget: make the money first, then spend it

Being known as the guy who has fun and spends money is a legitimate social asset, but only if you actually have the money to back it up. Fabrizio Rausa is direct about his own situation: he does not go to the beach club every single day because he does not yet have the budget to sustain that. The principle is straightforward. Build the financial foundation first, then express it socially. Faking a lifestyle you cannot afford creates fragility and stress, and people around you eventually notice the incongruency.
