  • This Is What Separates The Poor, Middle Class And The Rich (Not That Different)
    When it comes to money mindset and spending habits, the wealthy have a distinct approach that helps them maintain and increase their wealth while still indulging in life's luxuries. And here's the good news: you can adopt this mindset too so you can become wealthier while also spending money on fun experiences, buying cool stuff and earning money from various income streams. On the other hand, the poor and middle class have their own set of behaviors and beliefs but surprisingly, the three aren’t all that different from each other.

    Nice content! Few years back I was assistant to a wealthy pen artist and within the short period I worked with him I observed that he had quite a chunk of investment everywhere, stocks, crypto, dividend investing to name a few, so he had revenues coming in from all angles. And in a year his worth doubled. With this I learned that the rich stay rich by investing.

      Effective personal finance management is more important than the amount of money saved, regardless of whether income is earned through job or investment. Individuals can seek counsel from a certified financial advisor to optimize financial outcomes, who can provide specialized advice and methods to decrease expenses and maximize income.

      I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.

    For boomers and senior citizens, the current market and economy are unnecessarily harder. I'm used to simply purchasing and holding assets, which doesn't seem applicable to the current volatile market, and inflation is catching up with my portfolio. My biggest concern is whether I'll survive after retirement.

As someone who has spent a lot of time volunteering and running nonprofits, I can say very firmly that poor people are poor almost exclusively because of things outside of their control. Abuse, mental and physical health issues, caring for family, etc cause people to become and stay poor.
      People make mistakes all the time and can be poor for a season, but normal people tend to only remain poor for a few months to a year. They course correct, rebuild, and make headway again and rejoin the middle class. They don't stay homeless and destitute.
      I would agree that bad habits and decisions keep people from becoming rich or building wealth, but lower middle class struggling to keep up with the bills isn't poor... It's middle class.

    This video feeds into the idea that poor people are stupid with their money when it is more complex than that. Middle class are just flashy and indebted, while the rich invest and chill. The mindset that “keeps people poor” is too simplified and becomes inaccurate. It is known that billionaires/multimillionaires leverage debt to avoid taxes, does it make them poor to loan against their assets? In the same vein, middle class people leverage mortgages to create passive income, are they poor too? And the poor, is it their fault for being poor, because they buy fast food? Put in perspective, being mindful of expenses is key but someone who makes minimum wage and considered poor is the problem. Minimum wage was supposed to be livable wage. What defines a class has more to do with income than expenses. Ex: a trust fund baby who spend all his money in a lavish lifestyle and some more is considered belonging to the lower/poor class? He may be broke, he isn’t lower class.

    PLEASE don’t repeat that silly „they invest in experiences instead.“ Simply not true.
    Plus, so many poorer people then think they are super clever when they buy an expensive vacation with credit card debt. After all it is an „investment“ in an „experience“, right? Still leaves you even more broke as soon as it is over.

      Yeah... That bothers me a bit too. Rich people buy things that provide a service instead of paying for services. And they buy into a limited number of hobbies instead of trying all the hobbies and fads. Travel may be one of those few hobbies... But the point is limiting the number of categories you spend on, and spending on those things that you actually enjoy, not specifically "experiences".
      There are far more wealthy and happy shutins who stay far away from airplanes and theaters than those who do. You just don't see or hear from them because they are happy little clams who don't care to be seen. 😅

      I think they were implying that people with real wealth like to spend money on life-changing experiences instead of just accumulating more expensive toys. The investment is into themselves. For example, flying to space with Jeff Bezos instead of buying another Ferarri. Option #1 makes for a much better story at future dinner parties.

      I have lived most of my life in poor neighborhoods. This video is in line with my experience. At my job I make a middle class income and he is right on that too. I don’t know many wealthy folks but the ones I do know are normal folks that focused on the right things and prioritized long term over short term.

      I’d submit to you that many wealthy people who started out poor know exactly why they are where they. In most cases it probably took decades of disciplined decision making to get where they are. Everyone wants to be a champion but few people want to do what it actually takes to become one. Why? Because it looks an awful lot like hard work and delayed gratification for long periods of time.

    This narrative is pretty stereotypical. How about just a difference in earning potential? I can tell you my mom was very conscientious with money but had only earned a GED. Her income was not much, so her savings were limited. However she paid off her home by retirement, so she can live frugally. I earned a PhD and make much more income, so I have saved much more but didn’t need to be as frugal. It’s true that we both used discipline to accumulate wealth, but income certainly impacts the outcomes between disciplined people.

      Absolutely income affects wealth accumulation, but behavior trumps that and that's what he is addressing. Your mother probably has a better retirement than the person with a PHD that earned $250,000/year but reaches retirement age with no savings and a $700,000 mortgage.

Go outside and experience life.
