There was an old Chinese saying: I’d rather cry at the back of a BMW than smile at the back of a bicycle. Do you agree with this saying?

In the past, I had a yearning and longing for a beautiful love, so I put my hands up and agreed with this saying(statement?), but now I would not. Because men are all the same. Whether they are rich or not, they are likely to cheat. So it is all the same, I’d rather cry at the back of a BMW than smile at the back of a bicycle.
Only now do I realize that money is the most reliable thing and I am the most trustworthy person by myself. Making your own money is more than anything else. So I work hard, study hard for fear of falling behind others but it makes me live very tired.
It’s always good to look at others. Whenever I look through WeChat moments and Instagram, I always feel that everyone else is living a good life, and only my life is bad. It is too hard to change the situation. It is said that people always have a period of very confused days, maybe I am in such a stage now.
