You're right. But the thing is that lot of social activities involve eating out, going out. We hang out with friends who are on the other side of town. This simply was not case 20 years ago. People would socialize with picnics, going to each other's homes for dinner parties. People didn't travel as often as they do now. People travelled in trains. Now a lot of people prefer flights to trains or buses. When we go out, we end up eating out something or the other even though it's a small snack or at least coffee. This did not happen 20 years ago.

Another element that I found with alarming regularity, is satellite dishes. Affluent areas have almost zero, but the poorer areas, all seem to have no shortage of them. In shopping for distressed properties to flip, many that are empty due to foreclosures over unpaid taxes, it was a near certainty to find at least one. Actually saw one with 3 dishes on it. Don't have money to pay their property taxes, but don't interfere with their entertainment. Reminds me of the discussion about why you never see TV commercials for cars like Ferrari and Lamborghini. Because their manufacturers know that people that can buy their cars, don't sit around watching TV.

Maybe those people don't have the same amount of resources to be able to go out, travel and enjoy life like the rich. When you live in poverty it feels like there is no way out and something like a 50 inch tv with 500+ channels gives you entertainment and a taste for experiences that you desperately crave. Escaping poverty is not as simple as downloading an app from the app store (sorry Alux). You have to unlearn things, change your thinking, give up unhealthy habits, find better friends and that takes years.

Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. I learnt from my last year's experience, you creat your own conditions, through your decision making ability. If you want good opportunities so you can make good decisions. It's simple. Start with small successes that you have complete control over. Continue that successful mindset throughout your day. People notice a positive attitude, and present opportunity to those who seem capable. Project capability, and when opportunity arises, prove your capabilities. There are rarely situations without opportunity, and those few unwinnable situations are completely of your own making.

Although Alux is a good channel to watch, they have mastered the skill of shaming. The content is meant to shame its watchers to feel a deep sense of inadequacy. For some, this shaming technique will motivate them to take action and make changes to avoid feeling inadequate. For others, this shaming technique can make them feel terrible about their life. Lets remember that none of us can get life "wrong". There is no such thing as living "incorrectly"...there is simply experiencing our temporary existence through a variety of experiences. Look at all the graves in a cemetery and point out which individuals in those graves lived "right" and which lived "wrong". No matter how we live, the finish line is the exact same for each of us. Don't allow Alux or anyone else to make you feel like you aren't living life adequately. As long as you are still alive, then continue to experience this life in any way that you choose to. ❤

This video is hilariously honest. Another point is buying things that don't get used. Hobby, sporting, fitness equipment, etc. Get into them slowly. Make sure you want to do it. Example don't buy spinning bikes and gym equipment unless you are already doing body weight exercises. Garages are full of scuba, camping, cycling, guns and other gear that people thought they would use but don't. Paid for with after tax dollars. I wish I had learned sooner but take your time when spending each dollar and beware of credit.

Being aware that I am my parents retirement plan has haunted me for years, as I am the only family member “doing well for herself”. They have no retirement and intend to rely on social security and a company life insurance plan. Whenever I see my parents, they are more frail from not taking care of their health… and more in debt too. No one wants to see their family struggle, especially in their later years. Inside my head there’s an alarm going off that I’m running out of time and that I need to figure out this money thing ASAP so that their poor choices do not strip me from living my best life (there’s so much I still need to accomplish). That alarm is part of what keeps me focused on the mission.

I hear you on that, and I'm in a similar situation. In my case, my father wasn't a bad guy, but also wasn't so great a provider. So after their relationship collapsed about three decades ago, my mom worked flat out as a single parent to provide for my sister and I, getting us through school and all the rest of it... however while doing that, she failed to set anything aside for her own future. So I'm quite happy to support her right back, but it's also a terrifying prospect as I myself am working flat out these days just to slightly stay ahead of my own bills. I wish I could share some sort of sage advice to help you, but all I can do is wish you the best of luck in your mission, and I wish you focus, energy, and success. You can do it!

I paid room and board for only 600 a month to my folks until I was 28. Had a 20 percent downpayment then moved to the City 30 minutes since that is where all the engineering jobs were. Since then I saved the vast majority of my money for nessicasry house repairs and long term mutual fund savings with normal 235 CAD monthly payments (ones also form the 4 percent doubled from work) and also large lump sums. The only major regret is placing 10000 to 20000 dollars more into the market once I finally sold my property out of province. (Got maybe 82 percent of what it was worth 5 years earlier due to the post office blowing up overnight, at least it happend at night and no one got hurt). Also I was lucky that my property was at the top of the hill so I was not in the "explosion zone". This was due to fault lines shifting the natural gas lines. I had no crystal ball for that one but due to the delays from needing an upgraded sewage lagoon (settling pond) to support adfitional waste water treatment from nee septic tanks it was delayed. Just as the market was looking decent hearing from my agent I told her yeah Covid will delay that (March 2020). So happy I sold that property. I made profit in the end but the stress was urge. Hope to have the house paid off in the next 2.5 to 4.5 years depending on bonus checks. Yeah living with the folks rent free or even paying them room and board is a great way to save up for a down payment then once the mortage is done you can have way more mola to invest in mutual funds or stocks. Will make it way easier to have money for house repairs. What you have to do if your single now a days to get ahead sometimes. (I was fortunate that I think the folks had a little over half the engineering paid for, the other half I had saved up from working McDonalds during highschool and the summer jobs between semesters. I was no were smart enough to work and do engineering at the same time. It was the worst 4 years of my life with loads of stress to get through. At times the job can be relatively interesting (too bad the word interesting is a simily for stressful for me). Even if my folks didn't have the other 23000 for my post secondary I would have focused on paying that off. I would maybe had delayed me by 1.5 to 2 years from moving away from the folks. Heck the majority of my video games are paid for through doing phycological online surveys. About 12 CAD and hour of NET pay and it's kinda the only side coin I can earn. Once they see engineer on your resume the local McDonald's dosen't want to hire you. At least I can get some Overtime at work. Learning to cook well at home is a great way to shave the food bill down. Intermitent fasting can also help with that as well.

The reason you are living with your parents is because you were broke.

Signs of the new poor: not willing to adapt or pivot, because of comfort, convenience sentiments and luxuries ( that they can’t afford anyway). I’ve been telling a few friends from back home that if they *can*, consider moving out of province/state/city. Could mean relocating to a place or a job that allows to build wealth and long standing growth. Paying attention to warning shots that maybe ‘I should get the hell outta Dodge’ or ‘take that needed detour’ has saved me on more than one occasion.

15:20 - Sometimes despite having the same active ingredient, generic medication do not always work the same way or as well as brand name medicines. Sometimes the difference between a generic and brand name is so large that local health guidelines prevent the switching from certain brands, especially in anti-epileptics. The ACTIVE ingredients may be the same, but the rest of the formulation may be completely different. As a healthcare practitioner I've had patients take one brand of codiene 30mg, and it works with no side effects, they switch to a different brand of the same strength next week, and they're vomiting and unable to stay awake, as that brand was formulated differently (i.e different excipients). Just thought I'd point that out quickly. Great channel tho.

No you aren't it is the programming of the psyche. It programs you to act and enables instant gratification. At 40 I just finally began carrying a plastic debit card. The reason my employer said no more paper checks. I have credit cards for emergency only. I haven't touched them in two years, I keep them in my safe. As a young man I read a book called The Millionaire Next Door. It changed my life and defined the ideological view I have regarding money. At 40 I own a farm,now home, zero debt, six figure career. Being poor is a belief system. It is rooted in habits and patterns. I could ask someone their dream and they'll tell me they can't because of start up money. I then give them a million dollars and two years. When I return in two years they'll be broke again. It is an issue of mindset. Poor will always be poor until they changed the root and stop placing value in how others perceive them.

If you can send most of your money to a high intrest savings account(laughable idea) and use specific credit cards, for specific reasons...(1 to get 3-5% cash back for gas, another for food) you actually spend LESS money, while earning what you saved in intrest. Youll have to transfer your money back to a regular account and pay off all the credit debt before the closing and reporting date.

I didn't understand their logic on this one either. Most stores don't offer any sort of a discount for paying in cash so that means that the costs of credit/debit card fees are built into the products you are purchasing. The only way to save money is to use cash back credit cards and pay off the balance every month. However, the key is actually paying off the balance every single month and not carrying over any of that debt from one month to the next. The truth is you are actually LOSING money by paying in cash most of the time.

I'm 99% sure you're correct too. Using a credit card let's you get cash back (I get ~$40 a month in cash back). It's the seller that has to pay the credit card fee not the individual, there are a few companies that do charge extra for credit cards, but I think they legally need to tell you before you purchase. It also helps you build credit score a little which will be hugely important for car loans/ home loans. And for tracking your spending, analyzing, and budgeting- having all your spending in one place, your credit card, is a much easy way to mange it. Alux is throwing with that info, lol

I am the newly poor because of a disability. I am also the youngest of the boomers and also am screwed good. I always spent money on all of my illnesses. Now I can’t work. We didn’t get raises in my field and we were outsourced. At this rate if a person has a place to live, they are lucky. We all had education. We are not on the negative in my generation. I live simply. I don’t go out to eat or for coffee. I don’t buy a lot. My nephews are gen Z and are going into high tech fields. So, they will do great. Because of my disability and medications I have problems with math and reasoning. So, I am very lucky. I think it would at this rate be easier for me to live with someone. But, they don’t want to deal with my illness, as it sometimes causes problems.

I have been toying with the idea of creating a book based on the philosophy of "save like a rich man, buy like a poor man" and calling that book "I sew up my socks" the idea behind the book is exceptionally simple, finding as much value out of every purchase and not always going out to purchase a new pair of socks everytime there is a hole in them. Invest in a needle and thread, and as a direct result, your $1.00 purchase lasts significantly longer. Thank you ALUX for providing so much to reflect on!

Paying with a credit card, costs the store money, but paying with cash, no fees. The installments thing also boggles my mind. I suck horribly at math, but I'm even smart enough to figure out, that for whatever you're financing, you're paying more than it's worth. Regarding standup scooters, if you live in London, England, not Ontario, and want to ride a scooter, you have to rent it.

Yard work, delivering news papers or snow removal etc. Ever since I was young , I've had the money mindset. I found my first job when I was 16 and that was 25 years ago. My family mainly my father and brother's would hate on the fact that I worked overtime to put towards my coin collection. The hypocrites worked overtime also but when I did it. I was evil , greedy and corrupt. The hating never worked and when I pointed out the hypocrisy, they played it down. I grew up poor and have no plans to go back.

Cheaper food cost. 4. Emergency fund pays for 5.5 months of current standard of living. 5. Strict budgeting. 6. Guidance from more upscale people. Now for the bad news: 1. Past legal woes depress income - job not the best. 2. No appreciating assets. 3. No possibility for inheritance. So, working out of poverty actually does require work, but it is worth it in the long run.

If you think about most of these, they don't make sense. 1. It's okay for the new money to be their parents' retirement plan, you play with the cards you're dealt. And loving your parents isn't "poor" and doesn't stop you from being rich. It indicates how you started, not how it ended. 2. It's okay to pay for services and experiences etc. let's say travel. Much better than some extra watches or other "goods". 3. Digital money is a business' headache, not a consumer's. They have to consider the fees and include it in their price. Also legally they aren't allowed to charge you less in cash than via card. And very often Mastercard/Visa give some cashback or other offers for digital payment. 4. Most rich people in their 20s live with their parents, it's poor people's mentality actually to leave at 16-17 years to go and get up in life. Nothing wrong with that, but you got it the other way around as per my experience. 5. There are many no-overcharge payment plans which make sense due to inflation. If you pay 100k right away, you pay today's 100k. If you spread it over 5 years, the 100k in 5 years is less valuable than today, which results in you actually saving money, especially if there's no amortization on your loan/plan.

Sometimes you have to admit and accept you have something that can’t be changed. I don’t go out I don’t do anything extra. Things have gotten harder in two years. You work harder for nothing.

Millennial here and I honestly don't agree with some of these points. The first is being living at home with parents (currently doing that because I'm saving up to buy). Saving becomes harder if you have to spend a lot for rent, if the option of flatmates is not feasible, what's wrong with living a couple of years with your parents? Second, it's true that with digital money the value decreases with each transaction, however I am not responsible to save businesses from a system that was build up by banks and also, am I to believe that a business doesn't already add a small price raise to counter this loss in value? Please. Third, having a job and not a career is *fine*, it's an activity I do to get paid, it's not a passion or a call and it shouldn't take up more time than what it's worth. Also, I think paying for convenience is fine, because I earn that money from working and if I want to spend that same money to buy back some comfort and free time... I can and I should. Of course one should always be aware of how much money they spend and for what so they can pick the best value for their buck but really, these 15 points can be summed up with "start a budget and plan your money spending for the future".

Things you need to be aware of.. First.. High School... It use to be that High School was the default standard of education required to give a person the tools needed in life to make it in society. the tools to get a job. High School of the Vocational type, use to provide training for a variety of skillsets, Wood working, mechanic, automotive, aviation, metal and plastic, home economics etc etc including music and computer engineering. But when computers came to the masses, high schools dropped all but computer science as it was thought to be the most important and largest of growing careers. It was and yet by schools dropping all the other training, it made a void in those fields. kids out of highschool were no longer going into those fields. and a void was created that saw to such career not having enough new comers to supply the demand for new younger workers. thus the older generation continued on until retirement and businesses would go under because there were few employed to keep the business functioning. This also ment that such jobs would be of high demand and high salaries to acquire skilled labor. the tech world was saturated by computer trained workers a dime a dozen, but those dirty job blue collar positions would see to far higher pay due to demand. understand this.. high school doesnt end you senior year.. it ends your junior year because by the time your a senior , you should already have your mind set on your career choice when its time to graduate. your a bullet in a barrel cocked and ready to fire in your senior year, already fixed on a target. By junior your your locking down on that target. I would say this.. a major factor to your future is what baggage you have on you 4 years after high school. In fact you Should be hacking away at your career goals while still in high school. and depending on your career, will determine whether or not you need to goto college. Many careers do NOT need you to goto college. Most hard labor, aka dirty jobs do not require a college degree, and many of them are actually high paying. Plumber, Electrician, mechanic, Some artistic careers, at best some of these jobs will require a trade degree as proof of your knowledge, tech degree's. But do not goto debt inducing college for things that you can prove your skillset. For instance. You can prove to people your ability to draw by showcasing your work. Going to college can be a help and introduce you to others in your field, but the work itself is up to you! your own drive to get better is on your hands. So what does a college degree give you in that field? not much accept an environment where others like you are doing the same. thats it! and is it worth 70 grand in 4 years? NO!! 70+ grand in debt when you couldve found a local art workshop or simply connected with people online for free. which you would do regardless. Make sure your going to a college that will benefit you at its end. Career days, recruitment, etc etc. College should provide you one thing if anything for its cost, and thats providing you a job in the field of your training when all is said and done. if its not doing that, then your waisting your money. Its either a job, or giving you all the tools needed to create your own business. again if your leaving college with nothing then its been a waist of money on their end. because connecting with people is something you could do on your own.

My theory is they said work experience because your parents most likely started work in their teen years or got dragged out at a younger age because their parents wanted extra help through whatever their parents was doing(example if they had a farm or janitorial business on the side.) While generations now end up working a year or two after graduation since now it is more common and necessary to get a degree then a few generations back, but again even though they have more work experience they did not buy appreciating assets that make them more money in the long term and maybe over spent on stuff along the way.

Other signs of being the new poor, Appearances are more important than substance. Virtue signaling is more important than actual virtue. The only point I disagree with that transacting with digital money is a sign of the new poor. Very rarely does one get the "cash discount", even if they ask for one and use cash. Most businesses and even individuals won't accept anything but a CC today and just try to buy anything online with cash. Use of debit cards is even worse than using credit cards. In many cases you get rewards for using CC, not so with debit cards, and especially not for cash or paper check.

On the comment about art keep in mind: it is very expensive to maintain historical art pieces, sculptures, etc. You need to reach a certain level of wealth to even consider owning things like that due to the maintenance costs. Any sort of deal where you don't own the art yourself and have it in your physical possession is not going to yield anywhere near as much as if you can put the art on auction as the 100% owner and get around 85% of the proceeds after fees. Gold is similar in that if you don't have it physical it makes no sense to purchase. Why purchase gold certificates or stocks? Other assets appreciate far faster...the reason to buy gold is to have physical wealth that you can access in emergencies. Maybe you could take the argument that gold mining stocks will skyrocket in certain conditions and that's your deal..no different than any other speculation IMO.

You go to work and shit happens or you get sick from SOMETHING it could be anything that is dangerous and what happens ? all these moments you've been saving for the future is going to be blow on medical bills or for your coffin if a car or truck hits you or you get in a car accident. Keep in mind that the % overall is low but never 0% and you are not an exception. It can happen to anyone and life is ruthless people that are poor I feel like they are more happy or they give that vibe because they are not stressed out about the future or because they will be pretty much the same status, no one knows. Of course having more money is a must in todays society but based on the video its like "FIGHT OR DIE POOR" which is bullshit... Imagine 100% of the population cut down every shit and have savings and invest ? where the hell we gonna find someone who doesnt to fill in the gap ?. This video in a way is dangerous.

The people who fit this category are not only poor financially, typically they are poor spiritually. Money ultimately will not bring happiness. It is nice to first have a spiritual life. Having a healthy financial system in place is the cherry on top.

Funny, people will sometimes make a comment or begin labeling you with a stereo type. At first you may take notice but there comes a time where you just smile. You smile because your house is paid off, your old car gets you down the road and you are wondering where your annual ski trip is going to be this year.

💳Bad math on credit cards. Since I am using the credit card it is the retailer that pays the fee not me. The retailer is not dumb so they raise the prices on everything to pay for the processing fees. I get cash back, free trips, box seats at sports gym memberships Ext from Amex. They guy paying cash gets nothing back and still has to pay the same price as I do with no return. The only merchants that charge extra fees to credit cards are small mom and pop liquor stores and dive bars. If you do shop there sure use cash, but otherwise you are leaving money on the table. Amex is flying me to New York next month to stay in trump international for a week. Zero cost to me.

Good video, but just a small correction, increasing 7% two consecutive years the value of something means a 14,5% increase (not 14%) compare to the relative value you are taking into consideration. For three years consecutive increase would be 22,5 %, not 21%. A simple but a helpful detail that can help better understand how money compounds in certain period..;)

The car? To be honest, it is an asset providing that it’s not a brand new luxury car or a lemon. It helps get you to work to earn a income that one can slowly pay off any student debt, get higher paying jobs outside of public transport areas so one can earn more disposable income to invest in.

Damn I’m f**kng poor. Like CAPITAL F**KNG !! I’m on my last year on my 20’s and I still can’t afford my lifestyle though I paid most of my dept mostly unnecessary toys like gadgets, TV, pets and biggest my expensive motorcycle. But I don’t have any money for emergencies, I still live with my parents house (this hits the hardest on my pride) though they have few houses that I decided to crash in but I cannot afford any house on my own specially purchasing it on my own. And if I decide to rent a decent livable space then it will eat 100% on a 2 bedroom and 70% on single unit. I don’t really have a career since I’m on sales that requires me to go to different industries that I can’t make any foundation on any. I’m 6-8hrs on KZbin really! I play it when I’m driving to client or places for work or personal, I play games on my console, PC or mostly on mobile on my dead time. Just this few makes me realize my life that it’s ugly…….. Damn

They are not shaming anyone the truth is most people sit sit back doing the bare minimum with their lives and then complaining like some of you are right now underneath this comment section. Why aren't the ones who are worried about the video shaming getting off their tail and studying to do better in their lives if a video makes you feel some type of way that video is not to blame but you are yourself for being so sensitive and allowing society to break you down. Look allow in your life positive things at all cost but also be strong enough to take criticism from any angle chances are there may be some truth. The facts in this video are phenomenal you're either a realist or a dreamer just surviving in the illusions of life

I guess it's because I have young folk working for me and I really wish I could help them. So looking for inspiration as I just don't understand their mindset. I've been working since I was 12. I didn't die, and it paid off very well, and not just in money.

@Socket That's hilarious. I do social media work for a friend. I'll be 60 soon. My mother came out of retirement at 78 to do online psychotherapy because she was bored. My late 90 year old grandmother regularly emailed and had a Facebook account. My 62 year old business partner has probably been working in IT longer than you've been alive. He's tired of web development, so he's going back to developing apps.

I see how this can be helpful for many…. But I disagree with MOST of this video…. ALL humans have value. And ALL of us are born on this planet with the right to live life how we see fit. It hurts my heart that as a collective, we’ve decided that everyone should be well-educated, hard-working, and all want the same things in life. Not because these things are ‘bad’, cuz they’re not, but for the simple fact that there’s SO much more one can do in/with Life. I think Life was meant to be far more expansive than this video suggests to us that it is. Is any of this video ‘wrong’? I would say, no. But what I DO say, is that the thoughts and solutions they offer here are only part of the story. We all have equal ability to create the lives we want. I think it starts with believing that we all CAN have it all. That we all CAN do what we want. And not allowing ourselves to be confined to this long-standing idea of “working harder” for everything. Many humans have proven that you don’t have to be well-educated, privileged, from a rich family, or kill urself every day just to be successful in Life, but who gets to say what ‘success’ even is for me? I believe that only I do.

I understand the message you are conveying and I totally agree with you, but the reality is, whatever you are saying applies mostly to a first world society. What about people in 3rd world countries? some people live day by day and will never have the opportunity to get their heads above water. They are sunken in a perpetual poverty system that no matter how hard they work, cannot move up. However, I live in Toronto, Canada and the reality is, at this point a lot of the population are on the verge of being homeless. I don't mean to sound pessimistic but the reality is not as enthusiastic as we want to be!!!
