Many people are living paycheck to paycheck. With inflation at an all time high and the stock market in a bear market, we often look at those things and assume that is why it is so difficult to make ends meet. Although those are reasons that make it hard to get ahead, there are others reasons it is hard to get ahead that are so subtle that they are hard to notice.
Our current economic system has many tricks that get us to spend money or believe certain things and in this video I want to expose some of those tricks and hopefully you can recognize them and avoid them in your life.
"5 Tricks The System Uses To Keep You Broke"
1. Fancy, Inspiring, Motivational, Empty Words
Words are powerful. And with words it's never about what you say, but it's about how you say it. Every industry in society uses words to make an argument. The argument is usually that something (a product or service) is better and can improve your life; however, these words come at a hefty price. Instead of focusing so much on the words, focus on the argument behind the words.
2. A Culture Constructed By Hollywood
In the United States, we do not have a culture with a single shared history of traditions. And because we do not have the long culture, Hollywood has constructed our culture. Our culture is mainly made up of movies, music, and performers. This has created a very superficial set of values and beliefs where the majority of people want luxurious things like a big house or a nice car; however, we need to be aware of how much influence the entertainment industry has over culture and not be influenced by it.
3. Trends
Everything runs in trends in the United States and around the world. We constantly move from one trend to another and the reason we do this is because trends are extremely profitable. People promote trends often because there is a lot of money to be made; however, trends are very dangerous because they encourage people to panic and worry. This can cause people to lose their life savings over night or make a big purchase without thinking about it. It is important to not fall for the hype of trends.
4. Thinking Solutions Only Come ‘The Cure’
When you encounter a problem in life, there are two moments when you can solve the problem: before it happens or after it happens. Society often gets us to think that solutions can only be found after an event happens; however, this can be very expensive. We can spend a lot of money trying to fix something after it happens. Instead of focusing on solving problems after they happen, it is more cost effective to solve them before they happen. Focusing on the prevention instead of the cure.
5. A System That Preys On The Poor
Many topics that I speak on like consumerism, materialism, and money might seem like the problems of the privileged. When someone is just trying to make ends meet, not buying a new item might seem to be irrelevant; however, these issues are often more relevant towards people with less money because society preys on the poor. For example, many designer brand comes market their products to the lower classes to make them feel rich. There are countless other companies that have predatory marketing strategies to take money from lower economic classes, so it is important to be aware of these predatory marketing strategies.
