Topic: Poor and middle class as a mentality - page 8. (Read 1979 times)

But we are in 21st century, we have internet and wikipedia so that we can learn about anything if we are willing to do it but all people are addicted to other things like media, entertainment, movies, etc so they never have time to learn anything new that is why they are living in a cycle which don't let them to realize what rich people are doing in this world.

In the final analysis, the difference between the poor and the rich is the difference in cultural attributes. It exists in people's minds, invisible and intangible, but dominates your words and deeds, and it is difficult for you to realize it.
It can be said vividly: "Your clothing, food, shelter, deeds, and words are everywhere reflecting your basic level from the side."
That is, through your behavior, you can see what is in your bones at a glance, you don't need to deliberately cover up, because it is meaningless!
Generally speaking, a person's education, living environment and experience can determine a person's cultural attributes.

In many cases, it is to teach by example. Parents’ conversations, insights, and opinions all unknowingly affect their children. A child at the bottom of society may also be very smart, but his parents are not able to guide him well in all aspects. Although he is smart, after all his age and experience are there, he can only explore it slowly. And some children of successful people in society skip the exploration stage and get resources and guidance directly from their parents. And subconsciously imitated the way parents deal with problems. As the days go by, it is natural to see you immediately. Charm comes from confidence.

This is a difficult thing to change. For the poor and middle class, if you don’t teach them how to survive in the world, you can’t talk about helping them set their ideals in life. According to the hierarchical theory of needs, only by satisfying basic physiological needs can we pursue the next goal in life.

I admit that some people have achieved great success through their own efforts, even if their family background is not good, such as Clement Stone. However, the percentage of success from poor and middle class is still far lower than that of children who grew up in families composed of parents with higher education.

By the way, this is the Bitcoin forum, I think cryptocurrency is the best opportunity for ordinary people in the world to cross classes. Spend time to learn the knowledge of cryptocurrency and improve your own cognition. The knowledge and wealth you can obtain far exceeds that of other industries.

Poor people often feel that they have no money, so they rarely use spare money to invest, rarely learn related professional skills, and rarely meet more friends and broaden their social contacts.
Because I don’t think I have time, I only pay attention to the immediate things, and it’s hard to think about things in the long term. They often think like this. The current things are big enough, and I will talk about the future things later.
The wealth of the rich is only appearance, what really matters is social resources and high-quality contacts. The rich have the capital to stand on the shoulders of giants, and most of the poor have inherited their parents’ complaints about society and inherited their parents’ poverty.
The vision and mentality of the rich and the poor are also different, and the rich often win at the starting line.

When we come into this world alone, it is difficult for us to decide our origin. We were born in a developed country, in a rich family, or in a poor country or a poorer family. This is something we cannot decide, it is innate.

But we can decide what kind of mentality we should treat our own lives. If a child from a poor family can be positive and optimistic, he can also go to a better university through continuous learning, find a decent job, and get a more exciting life.
If a child from a wealthy family is not proactive, he may not accomplish anything in his career.

Of course, the starting point of children from rich families is better than that of children from poor families, and the chance of success is greater. This is the current situation of our time. The gap between the rich and the poor is getting worse in some countries or regions. This is also the main contradiction that exists in our current society.

However, it is precisely based on this that Bitcoin has given the children of poor families a channel to change their destiny and achieve class leap. In the past, all resources and funds were controlled by centralized institutions or wealthy groups, who used this to gain more wealth and power. However, Bitcoin is effective enough to break this point and break the centralized monopoly.

In the end, all of this, in the final analysis, still depends on each of us's own cognition.

Therefore, the internal subjective initiative more determines the possibility of success. Everything depends on yourself!

The difference between the poor, the middle class and the rich is not determined by income, but by consumption. The poor mainly consumes, the middle class mainly uses loans, and the middle class actually gets more loans than the poor. Let us first look at the flow of money for the poor: work→get wages→pay living expenses→less left. The life of the poor is mainly "consumption", all the money earned is spent, and nothing is left in the end. Therefore, basic economic conditions and doctrines determine their education level and lifestyle. Sometimes they have no right to choose, and their ideology is completely different due to differences in educational experience. It seems that their future lifestyle has been locked in. Determining wealth, intuitively speaking, may be because the school is different, but the connotation is completely different. The attitude and mentality towards life are completely different. For example, the child of a mouse may be born to dig a hole instead of trying to find a way to fly. The education that the poor receive may be able to maintain their own life or survival skills in the future, but it is difficult to rule out a single case.

Probably an active warzone country will not be able to give opportunity to it's people because they are geared for war and instability is rampant and pretty much impossible to do work since there's a lot of fatal interference happening, imagine if the case was that they gave away jobs in an active warzone, pretty sure that a lot of people will not make it another day because bombs will be dropping anywhere. Poverty is a mixture of social, political and economical problem and those three things don't want to work together even though can to solve the problem.

This is based on my own perception and my own experienced too as being born and raised in a poor family. My parents can only afford to sent us in a public school because that is what they can only give us but I am so lucky enough to be able to go to a higher level of education, my parents would always say that we need to study well and finished it so we can find a good job but now I realized that we don't just only need to be educated as a person but most importantly Financial Literacy is a must. It should be the top priority of everyone of us because there are many well-educated person who don't know how to manage their income.

Exactly because this must be learned from inside the family because nothing can be the best example from financial education but the people that we live in so yeah it is indeed.

at least little by little people must learn or else live in desperation and stupidity all your life.

Another problem is the lack of financial education which to me is incredibly suspicious, I am not trying to diminish other subjects however if there is one thing that we know people will have to use is money, and yet the education system does not teach you how to make the best use of it.

As such each person tries to do the best they can with the little knowledge they have and when we have so many ads on the media trying to make people to indebt themselves then they fall and begin a spiral from which they cannot escape, financial education should be mandatory and people should learn about interest rates, fiat money and other knowledge related to that, but since this goes against the interests of the governments and other powerful institutions this does not happen, which leads to a life of hardship in which most people have to work for the rest of their lives in a system not that much different from slavery.

This is what I say to people that believe equity should be guaranteed. Yes, people have an easier pathway in life. This applies to everyone. If you were born in a first world country, you immediately outpace over 50 percent of the world population in terms of your projected income and life expectancy. You can put individuals that are competent and work hard in tough life situations, a lot of the times they will find their way out. Doesn't mean it'll be easy.

Its a lifelong process to overcome that 'barrier'. Imagine taking a small leap at the time, you will eventually get to the higher steps. Even if you cant overcome that 'barrier' atleast your offspring wouldnt have to start over again. The 'barrier' is actually not limited to economy factor but most of the time, economy factor will define the next steps for the middle class


If you are not from the higher economy class then you would have alot of concern regarding money most of the time but even if you came from a high economy class, you might have concern about making alot more as well

As a person who is planning to have a kid soon, that is the scary part, the parents play a big role in a kid no matter how great education they get. You can give a kid the best education in the whole world, the best schools from 5 years old to 30 years old (with masters and doctorate if they want to) and yet if the parents are bad parents (you don't have to be a bad person to be a bad parent neither) then the kid will not grow up with full potential.

Knowing that should make every parent very scared, my kid has this 100% potential that he/she can reach if I can unlock it for them but maybe I will do something wrong and will never let them be that great. This is not about poor or middle class or being super wealthy, you can be the richest person in the world and maybe you will not be able to still give your kid what they want, which is the big trouble.

All rooted in the problem of the education system and curriculum applied, social status in learning must be put aside and assume that children have the same position in acquiring knowledge.
let's think about the education system in Finland (ONE OF THE WORLD'S NO.1 BEST COUNTRIES IN IMPLEMENTING AN EDUCATION SYSTEM), are they given official demands and rules when they study? NOT !!!!!
here there are several advantages that need to be used as examples for other countries, one of which I will try to mention: the quality of education which is one of the advantages of the education system there. teachers earn higher salaries than teachers in other countries. Teachers do not give much homework (PR) to students. in a day students study they have a lag time to study 75 minutes of rest time.

The mentality of the people that belongs to different economic classes really varies. We are exposed to different surroundings, hence, we have different ways on how we view life and the circumstances we face each day.

For the people that are naturally born poor, they were used to witnessing things that are perceived as the basis of "reality of life". At a young age, they are introduced to labor to bring some food on their table and to make the ends meet in general. They are conditioned to just accept what kind of status that they have and just dream enough. A dream that is just the bare minimum like having to eat three meals a day, having clothes and slippers to wear, can drink clean water, and other basic human rights. They are conditioned that if they are born poor, then they will die poor. This is because poor people were mindsetted to just accept what they currently have, enclosing them not to dream high because they can barely afford surviving each day.

Meanwhile, naturally born average people are just at the middle. They are exposed to an environment that they can see both worlds. They can do what they want and dream , only as long as they can afford it. They get by without worrying much like poor people worry each day. They can live a comfortable life, but they have to continue working to afford and maintain the lifestyle that they have. Average people's mindset is to work until they achieve the things they want and to soon later on be wealthy enough to achieve the things they want in life. They aren't hindered that much to dream and achieve their aspirations.

On the other hand, naturally born rich are the top of the crop. They can do freely what they want and dream whatever they want and actually achieve it because they have the money. They have safety nets that will catch them if ever their plans will fail the first time they execute it. They aren't pressured much  to work their ass off because they already have what they need and want in the first place. The rich's mindset is often to become even much richer. The rich people are known go be business-minded persons and into investments that could make them generate more income. The money they will use is readily available. They won't worry where to get money to fund their businesses and investments, hence, most of them become multi-millionaire and even billionaire.

Well, it is kind of that. That’s why as a person you also have to do your own research, and learn about things yourself without having to rely on what you’re being taught in schools and the rest of them. And also as parents I think it up to the parents to help in educating their children the right way. It’s good to ask them and know what they are being taught in school and correct the things you feel should be corrected, immediately. That way you will be helping to shape them into becoming a better person.

No parents should be wishing for their children to be at the same level they are, you should wish your children a better level than where you are, so it’s important that you work towards helping them achieve that and have a better life in future.

what kind of country was that if they dont give any oppurtunity to its people ? but i believe every country even the corrupted ones have done something to its country .
people should not totally depend on the government but they must act on their own too if they want to succeed .
in poorer country , people were encourage to dream and think big because this helps them to change thier lives .

Exactly what I was trying to say, if you even the playing field and make an opportunity for everyone, pretty sure that we will be able to destroy poverty, if you pool billions for each billionaires around the world, I think you can solve the problem, that's how easy it is to solve this problem. The reason why there's poor people is because to keep the middle class in line so they won't revolt against the ruling class.

Work hard will give you something, I trust that. But there is one more thing that you should know that you need to work smart so you will use work hard + work smart. By doing those two things, you will know how to manage your funds and what you will do with that money.

From your story, your grandfather-in-law is one of the people who work hard + work smart because he starts from zero, he works hard to learn his business, and he also works smart by bought the next-door factory. That is a great lesson for us because by having two businesses, we can earn more money. And if we can manage it and still work hard + work smart, we can earn more money.

Maybe you can say that work hard will not give or makes you wealthy because I am sure and believe that there is something that you will get from what you did. Maybe you can get many friends, meet many friends, and spread your business, but you feel that you get nothing. But trust me, your children, your grandchildren will get that from you and that will be your legacy.
