The Psychology of Money 

Persuit of wonder: Life is fleeting, we all die in a moment, nothing matters. Also Persuit of wonder: Keep your hair. Pour money over your head to save your pricey follicles.

@@TheIgdrasil1 😂😂 agree alot

@@PursuitofWonder hey pursuit. it's a good video I love your videos and I enjoy the times you remind me of my mortality really make me re evaluate my life❤️

it baffled me that with all our advancement, we still cant secure basic necessity for humanity

Bcz we are out of sync with nature and imposed our artificial rules on our natural ways of life .

Humanity enslaves humanity.

to live is to go back to nature, it's free in the jungle however human weren't meant to live in a city where foods isn't earned through hunting

Because we peasants are not the top of the food chain. Bankers are. They own us by making us use their product: money.

Love this lifestyle it’s freeing

When I was younger, I was driving the interstate and grew tired. I decided to stop at an official rest stop to get a nap. I was awakened by a trooper who told me that I needed to go find a hotel and sleep there. I was young at the time and didnt think too much about it. Cant remember if I ended up staying a bit more then going, or simply departed (i know i didnt get a hotel room like he suggested). Now that im older, im saying to myself....why on earth would a cop tell people to "move along" from a place literally labeled rest area where people are resting ?

If you're not spending money on a hotel room you're wasting the economy by being alive. Now move along please sir.@@Gizziiusa

​@Gizziiusa Follow the money. They can't charge you for a hotel room plus tax, if you sleep in your car. 😂

Having things, property, and being able to pay people, basically having money, is indicative of the value you provide to society. So, typically, people that do provide value to society don't want others who aren't providing value to be taking up space and resources around them.

The top 3 wealthiest people in America own half of the wealth of the whole country, so they're giving it a good shot!

​​@@Silks- Consider that if we believe in it, work and live for it then we also empower those who would see it all as theirs. We are the system that allows them to lead us and we are those who drive the cycle. Fingers point 360 degrees. Rarely do they point inward. 💛

@@humanbeing4995 Spoken like someone with zero understanding of economics but has watched an hour documentary about the financial system and believes they're now a seasoned veteran

@@Silks- Actually they teach economics in school, you know? However, this does not resemble what we were taught. Never ending artificial inflation isn't a thing until laws get changed to make it possible. That takes a governing body. Who votes each person in that body? Who has the option to say we don't want them to serve us. Who ends up voting people in who choose to line their pockets and claim to lead us rather than serve? We were once told about a bridge not to jump off because everyone else is. I guess when we grew up in line, going over the railing was a no brainier. Your statement is spoken like other people are thoughtless bots, they aren't. They just aren't used to thinking for themselves.

I was actually talking about you lmao. Your most recent comment doesn't change my sentiment either

I thought food and shelter were a human right though? why should we have to pay someone else to access them?

Omg this! imo, happiness is a choice. Joy, happens to us - these are those moments that we have come to equate to 'happiness'. I'm happy, not because of what I have, but because I am content and at peace with who I am in the world I am in. Things, stuff, material wellbeing, those are fleeting and temporal.

@@seanmckelvey6618they were never a right but should be

Nothing blessed about any of that, you don't know jack shit

Why would you think that?

Spoiler alert

Can't find anyone authentic these days... sad times we live in...

Hate the alternative to enslavement?? You have wrong think..

@@aywitb911 Money isn’t synonymous with enslavement

For you to live a life with descent comfort you need other people's work, be it a farmer, a home builder, a technician at a powerplant, an engineer at a water supply. For them to live they also need other people to do the same for them. Money proved through the test of time that it allows this exchange of work. From this view, money is a way to store work. The more money you have, the more work you can expect other people to do for you. If you want work from other, you need to provide work as well. And if you want to work less then you need to expect less from other. 2 ways to achieve this are abandonning the consumerist way of life, and learning to do things yourself instead of having someone else do it.

Isn't it funny how since 2020, the people who were already wealthy enough to support their entire bloodline for at least a thousand years were the ones who profited immensely while the rest of us got even more poor than we already were. These last 4 years has seen one of the most dramatic transfer of wealth in history, making the gap insurmountably huge. Honestly, most rich people aren't to blame, they are just savvy business people who take advantage of certain opportunities, some of those opportunities indirectly negatively affects a lot of people at the bottom of the pyramid. Most of those rich people aren't actively trying to fuck over everyone else, they are just doing their job, which is making money. We think they are just pure evil, sitting behind a desk with a menacing smile, rubbing their hands as they fervently think of ways to make poor people's lives worse. That just happens in the movies, and most of us have no reference over what they really do behind closed doors, but I'm pretty sure they have better things to do with their time that isn't just being an asshole. It isn't their fault that the system they live in encourages them to make decisions that fuck us over because sometimes that's how money is made. And I'm pretty sure most people would choose to take $50 million even if it negatively affects a minor group of people halfway across the world that you don't even know.

The sun shines on all of us, yet most of us live in the shadows of men greater than us

This is why I am a communist but I don't know if it can be achieved in the future. Why must we pay for rent, healthcare and education if we are contributing to a society? Those are basic needs that everyone should have a right to. This is a ridiculous system that we are trapped in. Capitalism has achieved many great things but it's flawed and had failed many. Something needs to change that can benefit us all and not just those at the top.

​@@barnacleboi2595yeah many rich and wealthy businessmen are probably just innocent good people that play this game without really knowing that they are trapped in a capitalistic system feeding it.

So real. I’m literally one of those hurt people who almost can’t get by because of high cost of living, no job and how people make living ridiculously hard

💯

I think it's human connection. On a deep level. But gratitude doesn't hurt either.

@@nvmffs yep i definitely can't deny that ;) 👍

thats why liberals are always miserable. fact.

Not if you are living on bread and water

Humans naturally want resources and power. Regardless of whether money exists or not human nature does not change. Money is a tool that makes civilized society on a mass scale even possible.

Indeed

Investors should be cautious about their exposure and be wary of new buys, especially during inflation. Such high yields in this recession is only possible under the supervision of a professional or trusted advisor.

This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor?

I stopped trying to predict market outcomes based on chart studying after 5 years of uncertainty. Not having a mentor caused me 5 years of pain. I learned to follow the market's direction and keep it simple with discipline.

@@hasede-lg9hj Please pardon me, who guides you on the process of it all?

I won't pretend to know everything, though. Her name is Melissa Rose Francks but I won't say anything more. Most likely, you can find her basic information online; you are welcome to do further study.

@@logicake hey I turned 18 last month exactly at 19/2 my life valu7are better and I learn stoics all the 22 Marcus aurelius rules and 48 rules for powe

18 club, turned 18 last month and can relate

I was 18 way back in 2009. I started trying to make money any way I could but in a way that would he fun and in which I didn't have a boss, nothing big or difficult, mostly buying things from garage sales and reselling on craigslist or ebay, by the time I was 24 I had saved up 65k in cash. After that I got a real career for a boss and actually started down the "correct" path, working 10 hours for a boss then 9 hours, paying taxes, paying tolls, paying, paying, paying. At 33 making more money than I could have imagined I would trade it all away for the freedom of my 18-24 year old days of doing whatever I want, but I can't go back now because wife, kids, and medical and dental bills, as you get old your body needs money to keep it from falling apart, it doesn't heal as easily. And my job right now as anoying as it is to go to I can't imagine not having it because I know unemployed ex-classmates my age who are litterally living in the street and are miserable. Despite being full time I only work 15 days a month, and finally after all these years I have enough money to buy my dream home, two houses on 20 acres of land in rural PA where I can grow crops and rent one of the houses for an income without having to go to work as much anymore. If I can get the houses and land I can retire from working by maybe 35 or 40 at latest - then I will be free to do whatever I want whenever I want to.

Nice

28 is the new 18

I'm 40 and run a painting business and I agree. Enjoy

Imma be 30 and I enjoy painting been at it for 4 yrs. I hope I can get to what u was makin. I think I would be able to manage a maintainable lifestyle then

This is exactly the same mindset I work with now, but unfortunately due to life circumstances, I’m not there yet

Ahh yes, i believe its called dangling the carrot

It might work. However the problem is that hard work contrary to popular belief does not always lead to more money (at least not enough to ever be truly comfortable) and depending on what sort of work you do it can be absolutely detrimental to your physical health and peace of mind.

I'd recommend giving Exurb1a's 'And then we'll be okay' video out, it gives a perspective on some issues this mindset might cause if you spend your time promising yourself it will be better in the future. Although you mention you spend time on physical and mental development, and relationships; so you're caring for yourself and hopefully finding happiness in the present too.

Not happiness. This is such an error. One wants and needs freedom from pain. Happiness is fleeting and is accompanied shortly after by its opposite, sadness. Equilibrium is where it is at, and is the best way to stay free of pain.

I strongly disagree with this sentiment and believe it is highly historically inaccurate. Most people who work the hardest have never really made it to wealth and realistically never will. This goes back long long in time. The richest people always had people working hard FOR them. Think kings, queens, rulers, religious leaders, pharisees, chiefs......On the other end of that spectrum think slaves, servants, soldiers, wage workers... What group do you think works the HARDEST? Society seems to have been rigged for a while. The sentiment would be more valid if most people were given the same chance from birth. As you know that is far from the case at a location, genetic, opportunity..... level.

You're right, money above all is supposed to represent the value of labor. Hence, the problem with modern monetary theory. If you can create money at will then you destroy the value.

Just out of curiosity. How old are you? Because if you say it took a long time and you are at retirement age, you would be an exception to be able to truly enjoy yourself. Most people who sacrifice their better years to work and the income that comes with it in the hope of living it up after they retire find themselves when the time comes in rough physical shape and not as well off as they taught they would be. Which prevents them to be able to finally enjoy their life.

Nope, money represents labor. In order to live, you have to either produce all the things you need to live or produce something of value to someone else that you can trade for.

@@kj475 Right, because Musk and Bezos worked as hard as 1 billion people.

..... and the people who do the most valuable work for society and who we cannot do without ie., street cleaners, sewage workers, shelf stackers, janitors earn the worst money and also of course get looked down on.

​​@@ChickpeatheTortietrue, but sadly it's not the matter on how hard or important the work is, but how replaceable some at a certain job is.

Those who earn more, probably studied or trained for years and need certifications or licenses or permits to do their jobs. Doctors, airline pilots, pharmacists, for example. Starting you own business helps, as well as, earning passive income from investments.

Lol I don't work for 3 years and I'm still living good.

It's basic economics - supply and demand. There is a market out there where businesses look for people with certain skills (demand) and workers who are willing to sell their for a wage (supply). If there's a greater supply of people applying for certain jobs, the lower the pay the business can afford to pay. Not too many people capable of being or even willing to be a brain surgeon, or CEO. Many are capable or willing however to be retail workers, cleaners etc. Thus follows the pay disparity.

People understand the basics of the system long before they watch a video on youtube. Unless you're a baby being raised on YT, of course lol.

@@Molotov_Milkshakeor unless your going on youtube to learn about something specific. But in this case you’re right most people know about money beforehand.

Thanks a lot dude.

If there is no money without people, aren't people more important? Consider the only place money exists or has value is in the brain of a hairless bipedal ape descendant. It's not real like physics or chemistry or even the fiction we write. Look around you. Look at the homeless on the street and the state of the environment. And for what? All the convenience and security an abstraction of an illusion can provide? I hope in the future we can look back and see this as foolish as we think of those who thought demons lived in the blood.

wrong. what keeps society running are hard workers. mostly republicans.

im watching this at work rn😂

Came here looking for this. 😅

That seems a lot like money: symbolic representations of goods and services

Trading favors sounds an awful lot like bartering.

It's still bartering. You eventually have to perform or provide the favor. All you are describing is a form of credit.

your comment is spot on, and unfortunately most are taught that same bs line about bartering existing “before” money…money is arguably intrinsic to ALL human societies throughout time, but, as you say, it may take more invisible, crude, or variable forms than our currency today. sadly, the whole of our world has a parasitic demon within our money, which is the central banking system, which are a cartel of private banks which own our literal currency, lending it to each nation on interest, and then taxing us all to pay for the use of this private product. i want more people to understand this. the facts of money will probably ALWAYS be a part of human society because it is necessary for how we relate collectively.

I am too afraid to jump in a lion's cage

@@arpitkumar4525 And this leads me to the second point of this philosophy: The layers of pain. It's actually irrational to put someone in an environment beyond their comfort level of growth, because they won't grow; they'll die. So, you must only attempt to endure what is reasonably within your limit of bravery and physical capabilities. I wouldn't ask you to jump in a lion's cage unless you've been acquainted to a similar experience many times; like handling tigers. With these two points, you can overcome nearly anything with enough prep time: 1. Face and Overcome your fears & pains. 2. Stretch yourself just before failure. The only pragmatic refutation to these two axioms is cowardice. (In which case, none of this applies to you.) Nice comment.

Since I majored in psychology, with stuff like this which are very abstract concepts to measure psychologist usually go through a specific process to develop a scale We start with a theoretical definition based on a theory that has been proposed, we also define aspects of the variable if it's multidimensional or not if it's unidimensional We then move on to the operational definition, which in psychology is behaviour that can be more easily observed and measured. From that you break down the aspects into indicators which in essence is the observable behaviour that indicates the trait being present. And from that you make the items for the scale, go through several validity and reliability checks, revise the items and make the scale Or yknow skip all of that and just find a previously established happiness scale

I will have to watch that

I wholeheartedly concur; I'm 60 years old, just retired, and have about $1,250,000 in non-retirement assets. Compared to the whole value of my portfolio during the last three years, I have no debt and a very little amount of money in retirement accounts. To be completely honest, the information provided by invt-advisors can only be ignored but not neglected. Simply undertake research to choose a trustworthy one.

Impressive can you share more info?

​@Jessrobbie., Please how do I get one?

Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’BRITTNEY COHEN ROSE ” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.

Yeah, it's a false premise: all pleasureable things/pursuits are "good". 🤦‍♂️ A PED0fyle would perhaps put forth his/her deviant appetite is "good"... but normal people of normal morality would strongly disagree. Jumping off from a false premise to make a case is, bluntly : *DUMB*

No, you trading your labor for money is not taking anything from a third party. If a third party needs something they cannot trade their labor for, you are free to provide it to them. What you're describing are situations where people cannot provide enough labor of value to live. This is what we have a social safety net for. We collectively contribute a portion of our labor to support them. You are also free to contribute additional labor on your own. We also have organizations that solicit labor from people to provide support for the indigent.

Trust was and still is credit currency as long as you reliably provide the future labor in return for the favor. When you don't, credit currency is no longer available to you. That's how credit works.

With money, can a reckless, irresponsible, unwise fool have billions of dollars/power/influence? What kind of impact does that have on overall human happiness?

Dead on accurate 👏🏽
