well if thats in the context of basically anyone envolved with this american degeneration tv time series of cbs "make it" then they all got more of a "hand out" than any inheritance kid it was same amount of luck but just much more easy to fulfill those rolls and also only difference is they are cruel unconscious and incompetant and live by sliver narrow illusions and willing to impose there fragile ways on everyone else of which are based off of corrupt structures that enabled them

These are very valuable rules for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I have about $89k now to put in the market.

@LucasBenjamin-hv7sk 5 дней назад

Although stocks are now rather volatile, you should be okay if you perform the proper calculations. There have been stories of people making over $250,000 in a matter of weeks or months, according to Bloomberg and other finance media, so if you know where to look, I believe there are many wealth transfers during this recession.

I was thinking the same thing. I used to be a dealer in a casino and have seen rich and poor gamble away every last cent. She’s admitted to having a substance and gambling addiction yet she thinks that will all magically go away with more money. There are plenty of free programs that are out there to help with addiction, if she isn’t even starting there, then she’ll never get anywhere. Having a substance addiction is likely already preventing her from getting a better job, so unless she makes the choice to start to better herself, she will always be poor and have those unchecked addictions.

Growing up with just enough money for food and a simple school, I started with only a phone and 1GB of data each day. Despite being from a lower middle-class family, I worked hard, sometimes 17 to 20 hours a day, learning about making money through Social Media Marketing and other methods. Now, I'm earning well and realizing that being rich isn't as hard as I thought. It's about learning the game. I used to think getting rich was tough because of my background, but now I see being poor is more about the choices we make, not just our problems.

What people forget is that the poor literally can't save money to invest in something, go to school, etc. They're just trying to survive the DAY. I was taking the city bus for a while and would buy the monthly pass, because it's cheaper than paying for a single ride each time. I didn't understand why everyone wasn't just buying the monthly pass. It hit me that they will never be able to save the $50 at once for the pass because they're just trying to scramble enough quarters for today's fare and for something to eat.

@LisaD-fy8xy 2 года назад

THIS! Also ironically how the world makes more money off poor people in the long run, than off those who can afford the monthly pass etc.

@tishaparker9869 2 года назад

Exactly. I was one of many people that was lucky to get a bus pass that was at the student rate. But paying $44 a month can easily be groceries for somebody. But a lot of people also don't know is that if you are on assistance they can give you a monthly bus pass.

@tishaparker9869 2 года назад

I was also just thinking it cost $3 to ride the bus for a day. Let's just say somebody rode the bus 25 days out of the month. That is $75 that they have paid to ride the bus for a month when a monthly pass is $44. But to someone that is making money stretch that's all they can do.

@amberfirexx9 2 года назад

I had similar views for a long time until I worked for Disney and my eyes were opened big time. I had coworkers with disabilities and coworkers who hardly spoke English and they had families at home and kids to feed. Like you said, they didn't have the time and money, or sometimes physical ability, to go to school or work harder to get a better job. For some people, minimum wage job are it. they are the only jobs they are going to be able to do. and youre telling me those people don't deserve to make a living wage? or that should be temporary and they need to move on to something better?

This is where the concept of risk comes in. You work hard as you can. You excel and become truly valuable to the company. You tell them you want to get more responsibility...and they say no. Your next choice determines whether you are going to succeed or fail. When you let someone know that your behavior won't change regardless of what they do you remove all power you once had. Reward rarely comes without risk. They won't give you opportunity? Find someone who will and quit. People often stay within a company or position because it's comfortable and familiar, even if it's a terrible job/company. If you don't want to quit, get an offer and bring that to the table to negotiate more responsibility/salary. But you need to be very honest about your performance and how it compares to others. None of this is applicable if you do your best but aren't well above average.

Therapy being too expensive was a very important point and I think mental health wasn't discussed enough. I believe that making bad life choices often derives from trauma, escapism, hopelessness. Poverty very much amplifies these factors. Selfmade rich people basically argue that they were determined and managed to pick themselves up so they deserve everything that comes to them nd they do. But the flipside is that people who are paralyzed because of mental health issued that are often seen as just being lazy don't deserve anything. And that's sooo fucked up.

This is so important. Through Canada’s healthcare system I can be given help from a social worker or psychiatrist for free with the permission of my doctor but if I wanted to find a psychologist I mesh well with and can receive CBT help from, I have to pay upwards of six thousand dollars a year for bi-weekly appointments. That doesn’t even bring up the fact that testing for things such as ADHD average at $3000 per test. The mental health crisis in North America is getting worse by the day, especially now with the ever-increasing effects of climate change, the worsening of the pandemic and the increase in the housing market (specifically in Canada, I’m not sure about the US). A lot of young adults are stuck living with their families, which in some cases are extremely toxic and unhealthy environments, worsening any state of initial joy, motivation etc. Big changes need to be made, and there’s little hope left in me that it will get better, but a part of me still hopes it does.

One big thing people don't often think about is that rich people can essentially buy time. Poor folks might have to work two+ jobs just to pay rent and eat and they don't have any extra time (not to mention energy) after that to do much else. For example, if there were two musicians, one rich one poor, the rich one is a lot more likely to make it big--not by lack of talent for the other, but because they had the time to practice every day, and probably started practicing earlier in their life since they could afford equipment sooner.

I totally agree with the exploitation point. I understand taking risks, but paying people so little that they can never really save, because you delegate the work to countries with cheap labour where expenses of living are often higher than costs and where there are no other jobs to choose from. Actually I don't even need to mention third world countries. There is a huge Amazon warehouse nearby where I am in Poland.They would pay people the absolute minimum if they could. It's a very tiring job, they only accept for 12h shifts 4 days a week so you can't really choose that you want to work shorter. The only reason they pay a little above the minimum is because they need a big number of workers. The company is well established. It's not risk factor why they pay so little. It's greed, they pay so little because they can.

My parents have worked and ARE working their butts off for the past 3 years to get out of this poverty cycle but there are many factors blocking them from succeeding. Basically the point of what I'm saying is that being in poverty isn't a choice at first, it is your choice to try and get out of that cycle and some people do try their hardest but just don't succeed. The people on the 'rich' side think that if you grind,grind,grind you'll get money and succeed and that's not the case because life isn't a straight line. You don't just grind ------> then get rich because there are so many elements that prevent you from reaching that wealth and we've been convinced that grind=success and that's just not true in so many cases.

You boys, do exactly as Bill said. Take risks, earn reward. Want safer reward? Take calculated risks. That needs knowledge and studying. Knowledge is accessible to everybody with a double digit IQ, a phone, and internet. Knowledge is accessible to anybody who can afford $5 a month for a library subscription. You people keep calling the rich people bad, whilst getting more poor and making them more rich. Rich people here are not to be blamed here as they worked for every single penny. They even had to work minimum wages under disgusting people. They had the necessary knowledge and understanding about things to break through the system. Anybody can break through the system.

It’s weird how some people cannot fathom that some people don’t want all the money in the world, or to be rich. The more money that you have, the more problems that come along with it and that’s just common sense. Staying in the middle ground means that you can enjoy life from all aspects. Being poor can give you experiences and skills that being rich you still can’t buy and vice versa. However money is money, and people are people - regardless of how rich or poor you are, respecting each other as human beings is imperative. Especially considering no amount of money you have is going to change where you end up ⚰️

I think is necessary to address Todd's comment "if I go into a company and they're paying me minimum wage, I do everything that I can to get promoted". I have worked almost three years for a company and many many other years as freelance, and what I learned is that, most of the times, higher efforts are met with higher responsabilities, but not with a promotion adecuate to those responsabilities. We have a history of millions of people having health issues because of the stress they carry from work, because those people actually do the extra effort to get promoted, but they never get that higher wage. They just get different roles, with heavier responsabilities and more and more working hour outside their office. You get into a vicious circle were you are sometimes rewarded and you think that is worthy of all the other times that you don't, and that really wears off your whole life expectations and dreams
