You are aware that movie with Nicholas Cage where he's a wealthy jerk who wakes up one morning married to his college girlfriend and living a middle class lifestyle? It would be great as we could all awaken tomorrow morning living a wealthy life? So, we aren't rich. Just what exactly? That doesn't mean we all can't fake it. You can live a glamorous life without spending a lot of money.

1. Smoke & Mirrors: If you have ever visited a play, you realize value of setting the scene. One small table covered in white and red check tablecloths, a wine bottle and a few music, and suddenly you're in Italy. It doesn't take much to accomplish the same in your own home. Spend a weekend trolling rummage sales or thrift stores and $25 or less later you'll come home having a host of props to change the whole look of your property, well at least one room. You simply require a few choice pieces to improve the whole feeling. The impact of your gallon of paint really should not be underestimated - a fresh coat of color on your own walls, as well as a bold color tablecloth or curtain, oversized throw pillows, a dramatic throw rug and a five dollar bit of artwork is likely to make your family area brand-new.

2. Small indulgences: The dollar store is a magical place. Think "spa" the next time you're there and stock up on nail polish, scented sachets, candles, bubble baths, soaps and lotions. Spend ten bucks and walk out with ten new spa goodies. Go home, seek out grandma's silver trays and bowls and make use of them. Display your finds in any unique containers you have around the house. Rollup some face towels and fill a bowl with lemons you acquired 10 to get a dollar in the farmers market. Top up a champagne glass with a few cooled herbal tea and visit your deluxe bathroom spa. Make sure you hang a handmade "do not disturb" sign on the doorknob.

3. It is a mind game: You're what you consider. Visit the bank and sign up for a fresh, crisp one hundred dollar bill. Warning: this concept is really only for one of the most will powered people on the market. Put that hundred on your bottom line and believe me, something amazing happens...suddenly you're feeling richer, you feel less depressed, and you are feeling empowered. You are not likely to spend that hundred. You're just likely to carry it around, knowing that should you were interested in buying something, you could...as you have the cash. It changes your brain set from of lack to at least one of abundance. Just knowing it's there changes things. Test it, watch what goes on.

Because you are not rich doesn't mean you are not living a rich life. In fact, I bet if you browse around, you will discover you've got everything you need right now. What is the saying about wanting everything you have? Maybe we ought to all give that a try for awhile.
