8 Reasons Why Most People Will Always Be Poor (It’s Surprisingly Avoidable)

[@neworleansjoe]

We experienced the pinnacle of our era, but it is now gone. Like what happened to Rome, the corrupt administration will bring this nation to an end. My condolences go out to anyone who is close to retiring and may be worried about whether their pension will be enough to pay the rising cost of living. Insane fiscal policy, poor regulatory policy, poor energy policy, and poor foreign policy

Currently I'm just being smart and frugal with my money, I'm in the green 47% over the last 13 months and l've accumulated over $700K in pure profits from DCA’ing into dividends paying blue chip stocks, ETFs, index and mutual funds. However I’ve been in the red for a while now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait.

Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over $250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this present economy if you know where to look.

I completely agree. I have been consistent with my profit regardless of the market conditions. I got into the market early in 2019 and the constant downtrends and losses discouraged me, so I sold off. I got back in December 2020 and this time with guidance from an investment adviser who was recommended by a popular economist on a popular forum. Long story short, it's been years now and l've gained over $1.8 million following guidance from my investment advisor.

I spent years trying to distract myself from my crappy situation, which resulted in continuously spending money on new projects that never got finished, new books, new clothes, new art supplies, new craft projects, new plants, always looking for something new to distract myself from my own loneliness and misery. I think the one thing a lot of people forget though is that been constantly poor means that we are constantly buying cheap stuff. The cheap toaster that doesn't last a month, the cheap kettle that might last two. The cheap tv, the cheap fridge, washing machine, Etc. We can never buy extended warranty and never buy goods that last. This includes shoes, clothes, cars, etc. Even simple things like pens. Quality goods cost money. Then add in the fact we can't afford health insurance, home and contents insurance, car insurance, funeral insurance, life insurance and all the other things wealthy people probably don't even think about it. So if anything is lost, stolen, damaged, etc. We have to fork out money to replace it and not expect any help or compensation for it. Then there is education where even if you get a loan to study something, you do still need to pay that off. On top of rent, clothes, food, power, travel costs, study supplies... do I really need to go on? It does become something of a perpetuating problem. It is one I am finally starting to solve by making myself wait until I have the money to start buying quality stuff that lasts longer and reducing the constant need to replace stuff but it's something of a long, slow slog.

[@TebogoMotlhale]

Wonderful insights. In my personal case I arrived at an intriguing observation that CLOTHES were Not making me broke. I have over 500 jeans and over 420 pairrrs of shoes and over 700 shirts and tshirts. Trust me when I say . . . it is a huuuuuuge PILE of clothing. And becuz of the SHEEEEER NUMBER (quantity) that I bought, I learned that ONE pair of shoes (cheap as it may be called) will LAST me more than TENNNNN years+ !! And that's the magic of Quantities !! If you buy TWENTY FOUR pairs of cheap shoes in a BOX, NOT only do you have a BRAND NEWWWW sparkling pair that you can wear every year or every six months (brand new shoes every six months), it is going to take you 10 to 20 yeaaarsss to finish ALL the twenty pairs. Now . . . what if you ended up owning 20 boxes of 24 pairs each, NOW you have 480 pairs of shoessssss 😍😍😁🥰🥰🥰. And NOPEEE, you did NOTTTT buy them at the SAME place and time . . . duh 🙄 You bought them over a two yearrrr period. And again Noooo, they are NOTT the exact same COLOR, in the BOX there are MULTIPLE different colors cause the box was MEANT to be sold as a wholesale item to some retail shop in your city. Suddenly, youuu are NO LONGERRR buying CLOTHES or SHOES anymore (becuz you No longer have enough SPACE to store them!!) . . . yet you are ENDLESSSLY changing your looks on the street and NOT even minding to change shirts (flambouyant brand new colors) EVERRRRRY dayyyyyy 😜😜😜😜 So QUANTITY and buying things WHOLESALE . . . has been a secret HIDDEN weapon for me. When you have QUATITY, quality No longer MATTERS whatsoever to you, becuz you have ENOUGHHH runway and typically a LONGER runway (FARRR longer = 10 to 18 years on shows!!) than someone who owns LESSSS and must REPEAT and CRITICALLY DEPEND on that LESS or LITTLE that he owns. Buttt . . . with large enough QUANTITIES . . . you ALSO have SOMETHING that quality people do NOTTT have . . . VARIATIONS and very BROAD CHOICES for you to LOOOOOK different or NEWWW almost EVERY DAYYYY without RUNNING out of VARIATIONS🥰😍🤩🤩🤩 The mistake many people make, is to NOTTT buy ENOUGHHHH jeans, shirts, shoes, belts, etc when the PRICE is LOW !! They buy only 20 or so belts or shirts . . . when they SHOULD BUYYYYYYYYY 200 to 600+ units 😜😜😜 and SPEND YEARRRRS NEVER needing to go BACK to the mall !!!

In the later 80’s I was impressed by a man in the most base model 1979 ford f150 with a 4 on the floor, coveralls and couple dogs in the back. This old truck had some dents and was showing rust in places. He had a rifle rack in the back and spoke like the rest of us.

Want guess what I drive in 2023? 2011 F150 base model and I loved every mile. Thank you Sam!

[@ktvx.94]

I disagree with the last one partially. Sure it's good to have more than one stream of income in case you lose your job, and investing is a good option, but spread yourself too thin with a million side hustles and you're not gonna be good enough at any to make any meaningful progress. I don't think you should have as many income streams as possible, just more than one and try to maximize the potential of each. The other points are great imo.

I am on disability. But, live in inexpensive condo, drive a super old car, don’t take vacations and pay my medical bills. I don’t get Medicare right away. So, the psychiatrist and medications are out of pocket for now. But, I at least put away $25 a month. That adds up. Even if I can only save $5 I will. I also have a budget. So, I know what is coming out each month. I also put enough money away, so that I could live without income for 5 months, fix the car, fix the apartment when I had a flood. I’m paying the air conditioner off. But it should only be for 10 months. I got it at 18 months interest free. I also had to replace the water heater and electrical panel. I also have done my nails and participated in hobbies. But, if I couldn’t, I would stop doing that for a while. Also. I try not to buy anything I don’t need. I don’t expect anyone to come and help me out. I know what it’s like to live tight. I have to do that. Because, I am waiting on a high special assessment on my condo. Rent is so high. I had to get a place to live. Even with all of the expenses, owning something is cheaper. My condo doesn’t have any amenities like the rental. But, at least during hard times I can keep a roof over my head. I have schizoaffective disorder. So, sometimes I spend more money than I should. But, I have people to watch me when I get that way. So, I am not going to judge somebody else. People like me can get homeless. I’ve seen it. I also know people who always have money. Of course because of my disability, I don’t have a lot of money. That’s okay. Because, I have a roof over my head. Not having money is scary. Because, I don’t want to lose the condo and be homeless. I live in a low income place.

Change the mentality of buying, buying, buying to saving. Make it your past time. I shop at thrift and Goodwill stores and yard sales. When there's what I regularly eat on sale I'll stock up months worth and if it's half price then that's doubling my money right there, which, is what investors try to do, right? Make it a part time job or a challenge to live on nothing or dang near it. Embrace it rather than resist it and just enjoy seeing money stay in your pocket and growing. And I am a proud dumpster diver. I read there's some in places like NYC that have become millionaires dumpster diving and incredibly,I can see that. If you find something and resell it and make $20.00 then that's just fun! And don't worry about what people think, they first don't care about you anyway and second, while they drive by you in their car they are stuck making payments on, you're loading your paid - for - with - cash - car with free stuff! It's all buy and resell anyways, right? Macy's in New York does it, Walmart does it, you're just getting your stuff for free.

Medications are cheap for them at $3 USD per item a month. But still people will struggle as power / gas prices soar.

If you want to avoid poverty, do three things. Three very SIMPLE things that you have complete control over. 1. Get a job 2. Don't use drugs 3. Don't have kids until you're married Do those three things and you won't be poor.

Good advises are here. Thanks! It is so important not to become slave of money. Instead to be King over the money. A very important spiritual advise in Proverbs 10:22: The blessings of the Lord (God) makes rich and he adds no sorrow with it. My advice... Trust God, build a relationship with Jesus Christ (not with religion) and He will give you freedom, wisdom, joy and also success. :)

Lol on 30% on housing 😆. No mortgage anywhere is less than 2200 a month in 2023

That’s a lie. Depending on the size of your house. I pay $1,600 a month I live in Maryland 5 minutes from Washington DC

@Dave Lyon did you not read the rest of what I said? This also happens between countries. Rich countries with corporations extract wealth from others. It's almost a 1 way street.

America is not a country America it's a continent with 35 countries. The US government is actually using the name of the continent. We are US citizens. Citizens of the United States. The United States is a country but America is not a country America it's a continent with 35 countries. The whole entire continent was already named America after Amerigo Vespucci in the year 1507. Everyone on the American continent is an American likewise Asia are Asians Africa are Africans and Europe are Europeans.

I'm not young and there are programs that if I invest (social security), I can go to prison (not like there is enough to invest anyway). So maybe your plan doesn't apply to everyone. I see this a lot, but none of you will do the time with me. The law says not more than $2,000 on hand. There is almost nothing that can be done with that amount.

Does TESLA exist without the Obama stimulus package of 2009? The answer is no, but the American people don’t know that. Corporate America abandoned Musk when Obama gave them tax credits and investment money when Toyota left, but I’m sure that was government tax payer money that went to waste.

It’s easier said than done. Family screw each other over, loss of job and have to take a minimum wage job etc. truth is without someone helping in anyway like a college student not paying rent or helping mom and pop with a lot of money. The answer is depends. In the 80s and 90s life was sooo much easier and many jobs available. Now nope. Now with society not having feelings or sympathy or a heart for others it’s tough. People like bosses are assholes especially when it’s a guy. If it’s a woman and she young life is easy as pie if you use it correctly.
