- Social mobility and wealth inequality make for easy political bullet points to bash “the other side.” But buying into the sound bites won’t make you any richer.
When your depressed like me you rather have the blinds closed and the curtains shut on a bright sunny day and lay in bed or be on the computer all day. Typical depression
depression sucks
Damn I must be crazy depressed then because that's most days for me lol.
@@hulbdoggmusic That's most of my life
Put the electronics down and go for a hike in the woods. I swear it’s meditation for the brain.
That isn't me... I have to help out parents... gotta cut the lawn and do yard work.. and everything else for them..clean the house..move heavy crap around by myself while being called a loser or weak...or not a man...or not man enough. Had a brother in law make he lift 400lbs professional basketball net he bought to assemble it which normally takes 4 people to do because of how you have to have it lifted to assemble it properly. So, even when not working... I have a ton of crap that do and if I don't do it it get shit talked too. I don't get paid to do all these things. It's free and if I ask for money they tell me get a job bum.
It took me a long while to realize that the stock market is a sport for the rich, because they have substantial money to let it invested for several years and don’t need to worry about losing money. If you’re poor like me you’re always worried about losing your money, so you always sell at the wrong time.
There is no political solution
There are many solutions, you just have to stop doing what everyone else is doing and start imagining ways to create new methods of survival for yourself. My idea was to live in the woods in a shack I built myself for two and a half years, saved so much money doing this that I then invested. You need to think outside of the box, thos country was settled by people who had to build everything from nothing.
There is ONLY a political solution
@@patrickvernon4766 Nope cause it's an agenda for nobody but the 1% to have anything or be alble to have a life. Left right mind herding does nothing but divide and conquer. It keep ppl from taking accountability for giving up their freadom by not coming together to fight for ourselves.
My parents were mostly financially illiterate as well. Both of my grandfathers benefitted from the post-war boom, but most of that money is either dried up or in the hands of heirs that I don’t regularly talk to. I got some inheritance, but I blew most of it on frivolous travel, drugs, and food. I’m just now learning how the economy works now that it’s worse than ever before in my lifetime. I’ve pretty much got just enough left to risk it all on trying my hand at business, and we all know how quickly that can go bust.
The working poor = Prol
Prol = Proletariat = Working class people
This video showed up in my feed so I though I'd take a look. You identify yourself as "poor." I'm trying to understand what that means in 2024. Maybe standards have changed, but when I was a kid (1960s) we were not well off: we ate dinner out of cans, bought our clothes at thrift shops, had an old beat up Corvair that never really worked, could not afford to make long distance phone calls, had an old black and white television, never took a vacation, and wore shoes with holes in them. Our once a week treat was the "Breakfast Special" at Woolworth's that cost $1.00 per person. Yet I never thought of myself or my family as "poor." What we did NOT have was the internet and social media and an easy way to make comparisons (real or imagined) between ourselves and others. Thanks for your time.
Same! I have been working my butt off trying to better my life at 64 and it’s starting to pay off. It’s a mindset.
I think something that makes work feel so terrible today is that the upside is capped. We subconsciously know that our labor is enriching someone else more than it does ourselves, so we don't feel like we are receiving the benefits of our own work no matter how much effort we put in.

Work would be more fun if there wasn't so much toxic people. People just want to have a good time and get money and call it a night. Causing stress and drama at work is just not a vibe that alot of people seem to be addicted too. Drama queens stay in high positions at work and lead by example.
I am wage slaving and my choco taco is sweaty 🥵… this is truly some kind of purgatory or hell
Hard times create strong men, Strong men create easy times, easy times create weak men, and weak men create hard times

A never ending cycle
@@m.htruth8880 I personally can relate to this since my parents made my childhood too easy where my adulthood is a traumatizing nightmare
@@cody3504 I don't know where you live but what you experienced is an issue in the U.S. A dude told me he hates how pll raise kids these days because "They either coddle their kids and then when they grow up they aren't prepared for the real world or they abuse and traumatize their kids". Of course coddling could also be the infintalization abuse tactic and not just spoiling or making things too easy for the kid. But anybody who doesn't understand the agendas being pushed these days wouldn't be ready for what's going on right now to be honest.
@@m.htruth8880 Nailed it

public education and college education are there to put you to work. It's not there to make you rich or live comfortable .
Nobody on earth wants to work period 😖😖😖
ask Bezos about feeling energized for work every morning, he aint walking 15 miles in the warehouse, but his slaves better not frown
there are multiple cultures, and very little that we can't change. choice and consequence. much of western poverty is a result of criminal or poverty mindset, and a view of what success looks like. "starve" to most people in the west means they don't get nuggies and lattes. we all seriously live way above luxury compared to every other time in human history except the last 40 years or so.
You really only can rise if you're useful to those above you in the pyramid and no, they don't let you pass them, only if you betray them do you get ahead. And they like to refer to this dynamic as "mentorship". I cannot fathom a different way in which reality would work, I mean that's why you hear the word loyalty, you're just someone's dog, or to put it another way, a vassal. Unless you strike gold in some sort of unique service or good that the world is in need of you kind of have to see the world for what it is, and that is why the service or good that is communism is part of the lambda, or wavelength, that is human civilizations
They see betrayal as a strength. Just don't get caught.
When I was working (1978 - 2019) I did not regard myself as someone else's "dog" or "vassal." I was a junior figure in the organization when I started and had to report to others. That's how it was for hundreds of millions of others here in the USA. Rising up the ladder in any profession required dedication, hard work and diligence. That's how its been since the start of recorded history. And that is how it will remain barring some sort of miraculous change in our species that allows us to eat, live and exist without working. Are we to blame the internet and social media for creating the false impression that there is some sort of shortcut to success?
@@tchkvsky I was told this all was subjective, and everything you said is exactly as I said, just a difference of perspective that is cynical about existence. it's quite common these days. truth is many people will not rise and the rat race is often lamented. brown noser, kiss ass, whatever you could be called, you got to retire and that's something most people do not prepare for. that said, it's an honestly annoying existence nonetheless. the joie de vivre is lacking and certainly not because we're lazy. idk why you're watching this channel if you don't feel this same way
GOD DAMN AMERICA !
Invest $200 a month in a S AND P 500 mutual fund and just leave it alone for forty years. You can’t time the market so never try because you will lose.
Put the hooch down.
And go to the gym or just go outside. Get out of the dark bro.
Best of luck to you
My alerts are saying Kellog stock has potential.
Damn MS just like me for real. Liberal arts major that also stumbled into tech. The only thing that helped me get out of extreme poverty was curiosity and having high enough reading comprehension to learn whatever I needed.
Every time I listen to your podcasts it makes me glad I was born in Europe, damn.
I hope your channel blows up one day. I’m shocked more Prols haven’t fled in here yet.
yup
Great analysis again. Thanks
Basically, work is an admirable thing, and it must be done, but the sentiment behind it is the problem, something that the people at the top never mention, as the demands are being put in place only that when you get tired enough, they come through but little is shown in the medium for how much you are making so your raise is determined by pleasing as opposed to your own hard work in a lot of cases. When you mentioned learning the skills to do something new that takes time “” and then you are that time you cannot do because the company you work at allocates all that time so therefore, you are stuck within their wheels and you never have time to pick up on your life because the company controls every aspect of your life when you are working.
Best anyone can do is work in america and buy cheap overseas
The po’ = prols
Home ownership isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Mortgage, property taxes, HOA fees, assessments, closing costs, homeowner’s insurance, maintenance, utilities, noisy neighbors, etc. can all take a toll. Plus it’s an asset that creditors such as credit card companies can take out a judgment against in case of default.
I agree "home ownership" in the US is a joke now. You don't really own it in a full sense, and costs of owning are high and going up.
Seems the system found effective ways of squeezing people out of really benefiting from owning property these days.
It’s like being strangled by a boa constrictor.
The government policies that turned homes from affordable commodities, into assets that always appreciate in value have been a disaster for the economy. Owners have to pay astronomical property taxes, young families are priced out of home ownership.
If your job has a matching 401k plan, make sure to sign up. Let those big companies invest for you.
If you really want to take a vacation, it's best to take one where you won't spend so much. Try going to an all-inclusive resort. Sign up for a payment plan, make the payments, and go when school is out since you don't have much vacation time. I think you really need to get out of AZ for a while. It sounds terrible the way you describe it.
🥲work turns everyone into an alcoholic/druggy
@@MillennialSteam I personally think it's the people. For me I don't mind working. It's the people that is the problem. I mean getting yelled at...getting belittled... treating me like I am retarded. It's like bro I got 2 college degrees. I am not retarded If people that working in companies treater others like a person.. or how they would like to be treated. What I mean don't yell at people. Just tell them what to do and only give work that can be done within the time frame of the hours I work. If they give you more work than what can be done 24 hours. They shouldn't get upset. They should be thinking why the person didn't get it done. Was he goofing off or did I understated the time it would take to get all those things done. If they did all this. I wouldn't mind doing the work and working. It's just seems that upper management are making he lower level workers to pull miracles out of their butts.

I am mesmerized by your content. I can't explain to you how weird you sound from a working man perspective. You hate your job, you constantly making the least possible, and at the end you can't understand why you go nowhere. I always find ways to enjoy my work. I'm doing the best I can. I am constantly appreciated. I was at several jobs where it was hard to leave for another and better job, because my manager wouldn't want to let me go. I have a great friendship with a lot of people that I'm working with. You are doing it so wrong. And you don't even know. And it's making you so unhappy. I can't stop listening, but I don't know how to explain it to you.
You just come off as an arrogant ass. Your life is going well so everything else’s should too? Brilliant line of thought
Yep
Im genX. My parents bought a house 40 years ago for $300k and now owe $900k. I started from scratch in some ways. Hard AF times.
