A phrase used to describe when low class or working class people watch Youtube/Instagram/TikTok stars and envy their rich lifestyles, not realizing that most of those stars came from wealth and had better opportunities because of nepotism. The idea of "becoming rich" doesn't exist in modern times, but "rich watching" has replaced this to make it easier for low and working class people to swallow reality.
"Did you see that new trend on Tiktok?"
"No, sorry, I don't like Rich Watching."
"Huh?"
"I'm not a fan of watching rich people live their rich lives. I need to focus on my own goals."

When someone gets the illusion that they're rich, but their credit or debit card (or both) have very large amounts of debt. Usually the debts are worth THOUSANDS of dollars. Could also be referred to as "The Rich Illusion", or "Rich Dreams".
Waiter - Your total of the bill is thirty dollars.
Roommate 1 - Hey, let me pay the bill because I probably have more money than everyone combined in this restaurant.
Roommate 2 - *Sure you do*. You're experiencing the Illusion of Rich.
Roommate 1 - WHAT?!! I think I'm pretty rich, yeah.
Roommate 2 - Look at the balance I printed off your online banking this morning, you're in debt of over seven thousand dollars!! Your card will probably be declined!
Roommate 1 - Awwwww shit....
Roommate 2 - Exactly. Oh, here comes the waiter now. Let's see what he has to say about your credit card.
Waiter - Excuse me sir, but your card was declined. We tried using it 5 times. We called your bank and they said your not paying your bills and not paying your debt either. They've instructed us to cut your card. We'll employ you for two months in the kitchen here to see if you can pay off your debt and your bill. Have a nice day.
Roommate 1 - Oh crap, my boss is calling. I hope there's no more bad news.
Boss (Screaming) - MOTHERFUCKER!! Your low credit score some of our clients are talking about is losing us lots of potential clients!!! Your FIRRRRRRRRRED!!!!!
Roommate 1 - Okay , lets leave this restaurant now.
Roommate 2 - I think your boss is such an asshole for screaming his ass off like that!

When a person of low means throws their cash around in an attempt to act wealthy or impress others. Usually this means wasting their money on the purchase of frivolous clothes, alcohol, or otherwise living well outside their means for a short period of time. These purchases also may be made in place of paying rent or bills for the month, or running up a large amount of debt.
