The title runs the advice backwards, how to be poor, so everyone reads it as mistakes to dodge. The thumbnail names the first culprit, a man holding car keys with regret on his face. Buying a car is normal, so the charge lands close to home.

How the packaging works
Title
The flipped title turns a warning list into a promise of mistakes to avoid.
Thumbnail
The regretful face and car keys point the blame at one purchase almost everyone makes.
Remix this
If you teach what to avoid, flip the promise and let the image accuse one everyday choice. Naming a common purchase pulls in both owners and would-be buyers, because each has something at stake.
