Topic: Becoming the homeless and poor it's new Normal now days - page 5. (Read 1568 times)

While it is true that those that remain poor for all their lives have a responsibility to accept for the outcome they obtained, at the same time we are living in an age in which social mobility is becoming way harder than it was on the past, so if you were born poor, there are not really a lot of chances to overcome that condition and become middle class or rich, because now more than ever even if you do everything right, you can still lose everything as a black swan comes and destroys decades of efforts in just a few months.

I wouldn't also judge him quick. Maybe he only slipped out or said that words quickly without realizing that he was once like that but maybe not now anymore because he already gained an experience and changed himself for the better. I agree that the issue can also be caused by other factors.

It can be a poor governance but I think a willing individual can still do something to change his destiny as long as he is really eager. I know that a wise and skilled person even without a diploma can still be successful but it's more superior to have both of them and I'd say that it can make things easier, as we know that most companies will check our educational background first before anything else.

It can also earn us a respect for many people that we face. About taxes, I think it's being shared on many things, so we shouldn't be surprised if there is a lacking in the job sector. Having no job ATM won't lead for one to become homeless immediately, lol (that's so brutal). For sure, they still have something to rely on for a while and there will still be times that they will now have a job. If we don't have a job, we shouldn't rent a house and if we have it already, we need to save up for the rainy days.

Employment is not increasing as people are growing. As a result, the balance that should exist in the workplace is no longer there. Even in countries like Europe, there are many people who are not able to organize work as per the need. However, this effect is significantly greater in third world countries. Where they have to become homeless at some point due to lack of work. And this action is not behind because on the one hand natural disaster such as Covid 19 a few days ago the world was affected extensively from the impact of which many countries have not overcome yet. Moreover, the crisis caused by the war has also had a greater impact. Many companies have laid off their jobs. The unemployment rate has increased along with the negative impact of inflation.

"Where there's a will, there's a way". Even during harsh economic conditions, it's still possible to rise from the ground up. All you need are the right tools and dedication to get yourself back on track. During times of crisis, it's always important to prioritize saving/investing over spending. If you have difficulties finding a job, why not try selling a product or service yourself? There are many ways to make money.

People stay poor because of bad money management or because they want to (out of mental issues, personal choice, etc). Things aren't going to get better anytime soon, so I'd suggest you act fast before it's too late. Maybe there's "light at the end of the tunnel"?

That is what I always wondered, while food is a lot cheaper than rent, when you combine 30 days of food in a month, that makes a lot of money. A homeless person is usually 99.99% unemployed as well, I can't think of someone who goes to work and also stay homeless. That means a homeless person who is unemployed, doesn't have an income to buy food neither, and can't really sustain any other way.

So, how are these people feeding themselves? I know that there are some food drives and all that, helping these people, there are places they can get a hot meal, but can they do that every single day? For multiple times a day? Or even think about their medical situation? If they are sick, how are they affording hospitals and drugs and all that too? This is obvious that when you become homeless, your health takes a huge hit, you are not expected to live as long as someone who lives at a home.

There are so many other stuff to care about when you are homeless, aside from just not having a home, that's one part of it. Hell, even security is a big issue, if you are homeless and living on the streets, some other person stealing what you have is not that unlikely, they may even hurt you and not care.

Life is a choice, you can choose your own path without having to depend on the economic conditions that are currently hitting your country. Being homeless is not a choice, but some people who are unlucky in life have to bear that status even though in their hearts they feel a deep sense of shame. When the situation is difficult in your region or country, try to think clearly, you can still rely on skills and abilities in certain fields to maintain your status in the current position.
When you feel that you are no longer able to get out of your economic difficulties, try going to another country where the economy is still stable. You can look for work there to survive and improve your finances for the welfare of you and your family. Giving up on the situation is not the best solution, there are still many things you can do to prevent becoming homeless.

Working hard is easy as long as you are committed to your job, but asking for a pay rise, I guess that won’t be as easy as that unless if the government alone will be the one to issue a salary increase for minimal wage earners. But for faster and bigger income, go for another side hustle that will compensate you well enough. And when you’ve earned a sufficient amount for bitcoin investment, then buy and hold even a small amount. Eventually, if you know how to manage your investment and maximize your potential profits, you will no longer rely on your salary but more on the profits from your investment.

The main reason for this is the growing population and more technology. As technology is increasing and as man is progressing, new generations and new people are learning new ways and things, the population is increasing, and the same work that earlier people were doing with more money, now thousands of people are doing the same work. They are ready to do it for a small amount due to inflation and increasing population, employment is becoming less and earners are becoming more. It may be better, but as the population is increasing, the economic condition of the countries is declining.

The second major reason is that unqualified people are present in the governments and sitting on big seats, and the competent and educated people are sifting the dust off the streets due to which the economic condition is deteriorating day by day. It has been and this is the problem of almost many developing countries except a few developed countries.

The condition of those countries can be better if the corrupt system is eliminated, the society is the best whenever it is run with justice, and the society in which there is no justice remains in the same situation.

There's a contradiction in your post.

Hard work or being discipline will make you specialize in your job.

Opportunity in other places mostly ask for many skills and requirements that you don't have, there's no chance you can jump to other place when you don't have the skills.

If the other places that offer better income and they're eligible to apply for the jobs, they will apply the jobs.

There's no recipe for being success, it happen by luck.

It's hard to live and thrive financially nowadays if you don't have access to the right tools and don't have enough time and energy to work a lot. However, I don't see to become homeless as something normal, anyway. Most people I see living on the streets are there because they have further issues with addictions, mental disabilities or don't want to take responsabilities in life. There are also those who don't see a meaning in life anymore, so they have just gave up.

The point is that everyone already has many problems and duties on their personal lives, that it would be very difficult to dedicate themselves to help those people as well. In the end, each individual is by himself in this world, even though many don't want to accept this fact. Nobody can force someone else to come and help, neither a private company, neither the government, your neighboor or even a relative.

Once people accept this harsh truth, they will be treading the first step towards their own self-development. If you find someone willing to help and become a friend, good for you, but don't put all your hopes that it's going to happen. At same time, you will never be alone at all, if you develop a genuine connection with God, and this relationship is the one which will really matter on the hardest moments of hopeless and loneliness.

Well you made some reality sayings about the nature of economy and and the rate of lifestyles of today's. But to some of us, it has been a trend but rather the system is going worse. Then it is no more a new era.

Most people at some ends are not even chasing wealths anymore but struggling to afford their essential needs such as consumable commodities, keeping good healths and paying their taxes on basis as required.

It is so unfortunate that the riches are not crying out to this probably because they reformed the economy structures for more enrichments from the dividends provided by the humans resources which the poor has become machineries of working tirelessly like the elephants and earns/eats like the ants why? Because the riches has already set up a filtering tunnel to profit massively from the labours of the poor people.

The poor are being not recognized with values and there is absolutely no potnetials they societies could find out of them because they are being rated by their present appearance and what they contributes to the Societies.

Because money has become a value to bring happiness and respect to oneself, it has inspired lot of indecent indulgences where people are going extra miles risking even their lives to make the money otherwise even to the lost of their lives.

Poverty has really bathed the Poor with shames and lost of responsibilities which the government don't even give a damn to make review and compare the lives of now and then which is better and how they to review to make the world a better place.
Indeed waiting for the government to give you a better better change for a good life has become a fairy tales and hopeless.

At this rate, I think even people living in developed countries (US, UK, the EU, etc) will become homeless and poor. Central banks claim they've put inflation under control, but the current global economic situation says otherwise. They're lying. If they admitted there is no remedy to solve the current economic crisis, everyone would panic. Central banks just want to pretend everything is good (or at least going back to normal) for their own benefit.

The "Elites" (otherwise known as the rich) are winning, while the poor are losing. This could be nothing but a plan for a "New World Order". The question is: Are we prepared for such a drastic change?

Unfortunately, even getting a decent job these days makes it really hard for us. Regardless if you are a bachelor’s degree holder, so how much more for those who have not even given the chance to be educated, they will really struggle in order to survive.

However, the government should not be blamed either. They can provide us with some assistance by collaborating with the private sectors and offer massive hiring of jobs, but this does not happen all the time. So we cannot expect that all fresh graduates will be given opportunities to be employed, most especially that companies require certain skills and work experience wherein fresh graduates are still incapable of. This is probably the reason why instead of hunting for jobs, people just turn to some investments hoping that they could be lucky and make a good living.

That's just the sad reality of the world we find ourselves now, because people now celebrate money more than anything else, not minding where and how the money was gotten, as if only you are able to proof that you have lots of money, many people will love and respect you, and that's just the reason why many youths of now a days are into internet fraud, simply they wants to impress people who do not love them, but due to the fact that they have money, will always act as if they do. While secondly, government is to be blamed for the situation we find ourselves today, because it's been proven that almost 90% of people in political positions no longer care for the people they represent, but mostly do usually go there just to embezzle funds meant for the public for themselves and their family members.

It's because the people who are ready for job is more available than ever.

so many people trying to find betterment of life through high paying job, so does other millions people in the job market, it's tough competition and people have one same mindset.

as a result, low paying job and a job that's not up to standard is very common because some people also need to make ends meet and there are always some people that just taking up this job because it's better than being jobless. as the time goes, seeing this pattern the big company also lowering their wage and enforce silly requirements.

the solution is maybe incentivizing incubation of startup and aggressively pushing people into entrepreneurship.

Gone are the golden days for employment that gives you advantages to live life at its best. Now, even if you work hard 24/7, that will never guarantee a good life but only a mere survival for your daily life struggles. Except for those executive jobs offered, for sure you will make a good living there, but unfortunately, if you aren’t fully skilled or competent enough, you will never get that promotion. It’s like that these days, we only work hard to live and survive, not actually to make a good living and enjoy our future retirement.

Even this all is common but still life is changing drastically, and we are going from bad to worse because in last few years specially after the pandemic life is not like we have before this people are suffering badly, and we are going down as well in last few years we are porosity is rising in many countries homeless numbers are increasing and money is going back into few hands which are controlling this all for centuries.

In Asian and African region we have too many changes because peoples are now living in high inflation, and they can't able to afford food and other things which are important for living crime ratio is also increasing because peoples are not ready to accept these changes and trying to take this back as they wanted mind set is changing few peoples can survive while having no money but mostly not like this all.

I wouldn't even encourage anyone working as a civil servant to depend on their salary couple with the current economy and inflation ravaging the country I mean all over the world for a civil servant they need additional skill to increase their earning to be able to sustain their family before they are weekly or monthly salary comes in.
With multiple skills or handworks it could be hard for such person to become poor or being homeless due to their skill or maybe even though is high it won't affect so much on the skilled or in a technical personnel due to that professionalism in their skills.

Exactly, good business relationships and mutual need are really needed to make the company still have income. Usually when we have a product that can be useful for many people, what we need to do is maintain a good attitude towards the users of our product. As long as we can maintain good relationships, the company will continue to make a lot of money.

Of course, we as humans who work in companies cannot just remain silent. We must be able to look for other jobs that don't require too much time by relying on the skills we have so that the money in our wallets doesn't just come from one source of employment.

What hurts my heart even more, is seeing people who are not interested in that issue at all. You see homeless people and feel sorry, there are people who are out there who thinks that homeless people deserves that life if they are not "trying" to get out. That's right, there are people out there who think that people deserve to be homeless if they are not trying, like as if they preferred that life.

A lot of things play a role, drug addiction, trauma, financial issues, emotional distress. I think if you have a very small amount, then it's fine, no nation could have zero, we can't have all perfect 100% going great, but if millions start to be homeless, like if it's more than 1% of your population, then it is not really that nice at all. We should realize that we need to keep that under 1%. Those are the magical numbers, less than 1% homeless, less than 10% unemployed and less than 5% inflation, if you keep those, then most of the time situations could be fixed.
