Topic: Working over 20 years still poor - page 5. (Read 1229 times)
It all depends on the person and country. If you work in a factory, of course, you will stay in the factory and you won't become rich. That's why it's always important to learn something new, get better at things and overall progress in life. Only your abilities will make you money.
The same work some do for 5 years and make it in life, other may do it for over 20 years and still feed from hand to mouth. Can we conclude that such are individual destinies?
Nope, it's not all about destiny but the way and manner in both of the work, it is not good enough to work hard, but it is best to work smartly, the difference between A vs B is in the method they both use to accomplish the job and what reward agreement their hard, take for example. One can work for many years on the wrong job but doesn't dare to move on from such hub, while the other person quickly acts by getting out of a bad job, to succeed in another field so you can't say his success is an act of luck because he put real efforts in doing the job and took the risk to move on to another work which A refused to do.
Life can be quite a puzzle when some folks achieve success in a few years while others spend decades struggling to make ends meet, making destiny seem like a whimsical game of chance.

It's not the amount of Money you have "for-ever" It is about on How you can Feed yourself and your family "3x a day" (you are not considered as "poor) and enjoy what you are doing day by day.
I've Read this Book "SELF MATTERS" creating your Life from the Inside out
by Phillip C. McGraw, Ph.D. - This has so much Life Strategies.
Everyone of us has this question. "Why am I doing the things that I don't Love to do". - This I consider as being "poor".
What i know is that any work you are doing and you don't feel like going to work whenever you wakes up know that you can never be successful from it, but any work you are doing and you always feels happy doing or seeing self in the works and you are happy then there's every possibility for you to become rich even when others aren't progressing with the same work you find yourself excelling and doing well more than others.

For me there is no such thing as destiny, we are the one's who are making our choice for our future, what we do now would reflect in our future.So for those who are spending more than they could and doesn't know how to handle or manage their money would be the ones who would work for a long time but doesn't have much when their retiring.
But those who could manage their earning and find other alternative income would be the one's who could retire early and be successful.
It all depends on how you earn and manage your money.

- Spending habit - One could be an extra vegant spender who doesn't plan, but finishes his salary before the next month
- Responsibilities - One may have only himself to care fore, while another cater for self, family and even extended family
- One could be a financial literate while the other doesn't have any money management skills
- One could be an smart investor and the other not
We all have the same 24 hours in a day, some very wealthy people come from nothing. It all depends on mindset & work ethic. Some people just will not accept failure or even mediocrity. Attitude is very important, if you work hard & always try to better yourself then on average you will do better than a lazy person who doesn’t like putting the hours in. Just work hard & be the best version of yourself.
You're being right mate, can we account what we use our time for within the 24hrs everyone is blessed with each day, we can't expect to have same result with others busy in developing theirselves, what are we doing, are those things worth accountable for, do they add value to our lives, can we be proud of having something to show forth as a result, we must be very careful not to let same opportunities ahead of us pass us by with other things we do that gives us no chance to make discovery of our own self.

This is not the same for all jobs, some jobs will never make you rich. But if it is a job that can make someone rich and the person doesn't get rich, it can as a result of choices that the person made in the course doing the job. When some people are working, they never consider to make some sacrifices for their future. They spend all the money that they earn without trying to have any kind of investment that can rescue them tomorrow. These people end up working and after retirement if it is a job without pension and retirement benefits, they discover that they are poor despite working all their life.

I've got a few word for you."Your never really handed any destiny, you make your own destiny".
Don't think that the decisions you make doesn't affect you because, every step you take brought you to where you are now. You have to try and ensure your taking the right decision at each point you choose to do something that has a way to impact on you.
"If your born poor, it ain't your fault but if you die poor, its very much your fault".
So the sayings go and so, its very much up to you how you carry yourself to become a successful person. Do something, be positive and ensure you track your increase as well as developing models not to stray the path.
Being positive minded is one of the major tools in attaining to a greater heights in life irrespective of what you may encounter on the journey to success remain steadfast, practically most of the successful people today on earth failed severally some even come from poor home without silver spoon but it was a challenge to them and the worked towards the path of success with the last drop of their energy knowing fully well where they are coming, the use the little information within their reach and today the are more successful than they even imagine, so there is no excuse for total failure.
It depends on you whether you believe in fate or not.
Some people do not believe in destiny and try with all their might to change the course of their lives, some survive and others fail.
In any case, we as human beings must make our efforts to succeed in life, regardless of what our destiny is.

I strongly accept this view of yours but destiny itself has to be backed with over zealousness and hard-working even when you fail you don't have to give up, don't see the failure as a setback see it as an opportunity to replan, make amendments and correction in other to succeed the next time you try, there are some persons that becomes successful immediately the are involved in pursuit for success, the other group of people don't get it in once but rather more or little efforts are needed for this group of persons to conquer the perceived barrier in other to shine, so to me I see luck playing a vital role in this situation.

We are only seeing their respective result but dont mind in knowing the procedures and protocols they have been following to make their lives work out the way it appears, everything has to ro with sacrifice, for those people we see arriving in live were business oriented and opportunity maximilist, they take advantage in everything to make money, they work hard to see they they always achieve what they planned for with tangible results, they made alot of sacrifices required in business, they learn and developed their career abilities each day, they are those that maintain a business principle and law abiding.

Is it a Government work?If no, then it can be an individual destiny because everyone has what is destined for them, that is why copying what someone did exactly cannot make you as reach as them.
Always focus on what make you happy.
Two different people doing the same kind of work for 20 years, with the same qualification. One is rich and the other is poor. A lot of factors can be responsible. One of the individual might be luckier to be working for a big firm, while the other is working for a smaller firm. All things being equal, the person in the big firm will earn more. Two people might be earning the same salary, but their life styles will determine who saves more. How stable the economy of a country is, also determines how well they pay their workforce. The workforce of another country with the same requirements of qualification might not be able to pay as much.
So luck, location and lifestyles are some of the factors that determines the financial status of two individuals with the same qualification.

Lack of not having plans to live a better life at old age can also cause it. Some persons believes that as long as they are getting paid monthly and can take care of their needs they are OK with their present life style. This will make one stagnant in life,if you don't plan to double your income.
For one not to end up working for 20 years and nothing to show,you need to invest the little that you are saving from your monthly income into another business that you can generate profit from. Working for someone without you think about your old age is like a rat race when you don't have the insight of what your tomorrow will become. Another thing that can cause this, is lack of not having someone to advice,guide or direct you on what to do with your monthly income. Though,everybody cannot be rich because all fingers and not equal.

You can't always conclude that that is a person's destiny because at times our traits and level of exposure also have a big role to play in why some people work all through their lives whereas others work just a few years, gather enough, invest and start living the life of their dream. Because to live the life of your dream, you have to invest more than you spend, which I think most have been the major difference between the two persons you gave above.

Firstly I don't like comparing myself with someone else because we don't have the same problems and opportunities. Your colleague in the office might have wealthy parents or relation that supports him. He might even have an inheritance and live in his father's house. You might have more responsibilities than him. Maybe you pay the bills of your parents or sibling and you have a family you must support. I have a friend that has a sick child and he spends so much on medical bills every month to keep the boy alive, so he might not achieve much.
The next thing you should consider is your expenditure. If you are spending above your income, you can never be able to save. And if you can't save, there is no way you can invest. If you don't have an investment, you might remain poor. If others become financially stable after a few years and you are still struggling after so many years, then you should check yourself because something is wrong.

then something understand in this your principles because you are not far from the truth many people do work very hard but they cannot achieve what someone but they will not achieve what someone who works in feel time achieve, so I believe that Jump to:
