even if you are poor, you can change your situation.
the poorest of the world are unemployed, thus have alot of spare time. yes they cant afford to just throw a few $$k at a already setup business venture but they can start something small..

when you are poor you are at the bottom already, in short, not much to lose. so take the risk. just try something, even if its small
just find a product or service that is needed in your local area.

if you notice friends, neighbours, relatives waste $25 on fast food because they cant cook for themselves. either due to age, disability or time. get yourself a ready cooked rotisserie chicken for $5, put some veg in a steamer($1.50), make some instant gravy($0.50) and sell them a 'meals on wheels' roast dinner delivered for a bit less than fast food($20($7 cost))

you can multiply this up easily. so just steam alot more veg and serve it up in trays, drive to a place that serves whole rotisserie chicken and bag it up with the trays and deliver it to friends and neighbours each evening. you can easily do 6 doors in 2 hours and get $120($42 cost=$34 profit/h)

the issue actually stems to what people then would do with that $78 extra income. and most would spend it on wasteful things which is where it leads them into staying poor

It is a fact that many people get caught in the rat race. As a result of juggling all the responsibilities around work, bills, and family there is little time left for achievement. For personal development or even fantasy, I reckon the time is when people are always focused on survival. They do not find time to focus on success.

What's interesting about the example you gave people in prison is that it emphasizes the power of isolation and affirmation. There are distractions. Either by circumstance or by choice. People can do their best in ways they might not be able to do otherwise. He argued that opening up brain space is important for learning and development. Even if it's only a little at a time.

That said, I don't think we need extreme situations like prison to promote that growth. It's about finding a way to get out of the "sort of" mentality. It is more of a "rat race" by prioritizing time for personal learning. Whether it's reading Learning new skills Or just think about life's important questions. Even a small step It can lead to big changes over time.

In a world full of fraud, complexity and rapid decision-making, Especially in investing and crypto, acquiring knowledge is important. But the catch is As you said They don't have much time or mental resources to research or prepare. Perhaps the challenge is taking just a few moments each day to focus on long-term growth. Instead, focus on day-to-day growth. Easier said than done But start small, like reading every chapter of a book every night. Or set aside 30 minutes per day.


That is correct. If we do not use the time we gain from the early stages of our lives to learn building skills or self-reflection, we will later struggle with it. At mature stages Responsibility develops. And there is little room for growth, nor for even minimal self-care. These necessities can make life such a grind that every moment can become yet another locked cycle in the constant condition of anxiety.

As you said, it is important to prioritize from the very beginning. It takes time to invest in ourselves long-term when we can still have that size. Chasing after short-term gains seems the easy way. But it usually causes much bigger problems if we fail to get the skills or attitude to solve problems in life. The thing is, lost time can never be recovered. And when we get caught up in our activities It's also very hard to stop and catch up on what we've missed.

I really appreciated how you wrote that prison is a place for wrong thinking. But you're absolutely right; why wait for bad things to come? How about thinking and growing? Actually, creating space in our daily lives, even just the 'mindset' one puts into it. It can give us quiet time to think, study, and build ourselves. We don't have to be isolated to experience moments of reflection and growth; we just have to be intentional with time. No matter how hectic life is. It's all about how time works for us, not against us.

Time is of essence. when you refuse to use time judiciously, the time you're supposed to use in taking care of yourself will now be the time you will use in hustling and trying to meet a lot of needs. because of how busy adulthood stage can be, it's usually very difficult to read the books you failed to read as a teenager and a lot of the things you probably neglected and will have to make use of will now surface and you wouldn't have a choice than to combine all of those things and the end product is that life becomes very stressful and difficult.

it's good to set priorities right. if when you're supposed to be studying and acquiring all the skills and knowledge you will need in life, you use all those times to run after short term benefit you will grow to become an adult that's struggling with everything because of a faulty foundation. money can buy a lot of things but the core thing that money can't buy back is time that's lost.

the prison might look like a place to have deep thinking that could birth ideas that's very innovative but instead of waiting to get into prison before having to make judicious use of your time, why not have a closet where you can use in meditating and studying so you can learn as much as you want to?

I don't know how you conclude that people who spent time in prison get success and wealthy. But the fact is, just like outside of prison, inside of prison not every prisoner are treated equally. The climate sometimes is unstable, and this could have implications on the quality of education and wellbeing differently. Some do well while others might not because of support or past experience.

And regarding the rat race, "rat racers" are not always better placed. Family and job commitments surely do eat into the little free time available, but these days, even then, with more flexible learning opportunities such as online courses, podcasts, and audiobooks, they can keep growing. It is not always about having no end to time, but it's about how one utilizes the little fragments of time they get. Besides, those life responsibilities build problem-solving and resilience, too, and are just as valuable as education.

Sometimes luck plays a part in our destiny. I knew some people that took a risk to establish a business and become successful with it even if they're married and have a family already.

Meanwhile, new generations now are more wise in shaping their future. They are not into study in school > have a job> have a family > work until you die cycle. They know that just having a job is not enough to achieve the life they want so they upskill to increase their income before settling down. Financial literacy is becoming a thing now.

I think you greatly overestimate the amount of successful people who have been in and got out of prison, then went on to become very prosperous. We always see the edge case scenarios that are glamorized in the media and it is amazing when someone can turn themselves around, but these are many fewer than the average percentage of the population who live successful lives. They also eat what they are given, which is generally of a pretty below par standard, yet drugs and alcohol are ripe in prisons in their worst forms. You might have watched a few too many prison films that make the situation look much better, but losing your freedom for any amount of time is not going to be a good experience and it will affect future job prospects.

If you are not wealthy, you will need to work to put food on your table and no one will be ready to take care of you. This is why if you are not from a wealthy family, you need to work and earn a living. If you don't like to remain poor, you should use the extra cash from your monthly income to invest in bitcoin, with DCA method to accumulate weekly or monthly overtime so that you can fight your way out of poverty. Being single will help you reduce expenses but sometimes, your family responsibility can motivate you to think out of the box on how to grow your income. If you don't have extra cash after taking care of your monthly expenses and needs, you should trim down your expenses or look for a second means of income and invest for the future. The problem most government workers are having is that they only focus on their job and don't think of investing or setting up a business which will help them balance in life.

The irony is, people who don't have to worry about paying bills, foods, have duties to fulfill partner, kids, parents etc are people who already rich in the first place. While people who're in "rat-race" aren't rich, so they're forced to join this endless race.

This is why privilege really matter in this case, if you're born poor, it's hard for you to change your life, if you're born in a middle class people, you can't really change your life, but at least you live better than most people, although you will stuck in "rat-race".

I disagree, rich people do consume alcohol, we're not talking about Ronaldo.

If you want to learn you need time that's why a lot people have become wealthy and smart who spent their time in prison, why? Because the self meditation healthy life style no alchol no distractions no need to worry about bills or daily food got time to connect with own higher mind and doing a lot reading you could be surprised about them.
Let's be now very honest without sugar coating life the world and everything around is tricky often you need a lot knowledge to do everything and there is a lot scams it's hard to avoid them If you don't have knowledge even dealing with your own goverment or legal instutions.
The average person who got job working to pay bills having the kids doing the other things maybe helping the parents who are old ....same time after that have only minimum hours of sleep ( they live in RAT Race-lifestyle) they don't have time to educate themselfes and no time even for any kind of deep toughts because they are busy with just their daily activities and surviving.
Those who got time to learn and study and to experince different things and don't have so many duties like family and kids they have way better position to get even financially well then those who are so busy that when they get home the maximum free time they have is to watch news and If they are lucky they can watch some movies 1-2hours but let's not sugar-coated let's be honest you need time and education and knowledge those people who invest in crypto or in anything they often do that quickly without thinking much or doing re-search because they live in ratrace they don't have time even to do re-search and learn or to talk with others because when morning starts the ratrace starting and when something happens like crisis those people will be less prepared.
Try to not be that "ratrace" person and you still have hope in your life:)
