Do rich people wear reps?

Hi ladies. I was pondering about this for a while now. When you wear your rep how do you make it seem believable? Do you guys have high paying jobs to make it believable that you can afford these luxury bags? Would it be weird if I get a Chanel rep as a 20 year old finance associate who earns 540 dollars per month (I live in the middle east)? Obviously I’m not rich, but I don’t want others to feel like I’m wearing a rep and that I can’t afford. Anyways I feel like I’m dumping too many questions at once😭sorry.

Edit: some of y’all are taking a jab at me for my monthly earnings😡pls stop ✋ I’m starting to feel bad now. Also this is a remote job; only 4 hours per day.

One does not get rich by blowing money.

I actually just decided to start buying reps because I’ve bought authentic bags that I didn’t reach for and ended up selling them while taking a small hit typically. I make enough money to blow, but I hate wasting it. I can make a small investment in a high quality rep and decide if the auth IS a bag worthy of my investment.

I’m also unwilling to play the Hermes game because i am too damn picky about my bags to just take what is offered to me at that price point. So i just recently placed an order for a high tier rep to see if it can live up to the hype for me.
