Ghetto Mentality 

Someone who spends all their money on useless or depreciating items instead of saving or investing it. Typically they buy nice things to try to signal to others that they are rich, when they actually come off as poor to those who actually are rich. They almost always live way beyond their means, and are typically in massive amounts of debt. Their income is usually not from a stable source.

That soundcloud rapper is trying to flex on everyone with his new sports car when we know he barely makes any money and is leasing it. Such a ghetto mentality.

Olivia is always showing off her designer purses and clothes but has never had a real job and comes from a poor family. She is probably an escort or sugar baby. Very sad, such a ghetto mentality

Xavier made all that money selling coke, and instead of buying a house or investing his money he bought a rolex and multiple cars, such a ghetto mentality

Tekashi69 always has 4 richard millie watches on his wrists , but his net worth is under a million, those watches are either fake or borrowed, such a ghetto mentality.

Aubrey has a massive ghetto mentality, how many old fat mens dicks did she have to suck to buy that offwhite belt?
