15 Rules Of Poverty

the bottom 20% of any society in terms of living standards qualifies as poor in the same way the top 20% qualifies as rich and everyone else in different levels of wealth are in the middle class there are certain rules that dictate who will end up in the bottom 20% in this video we're going to take a look at what governs poverty and why some people cannot seem to escape it so with that said here are the 15 rules of poverty welcome to alux the place where you billionaires come to get inspired number one poverty is

50% circumstances 50% acceptance of those circumstances as unchangeable now people who believe their Destiny is to suffer do nothing to stop it they simply accept that their life is supposed to be the way it is maybe they tried once and failed maybe the cards were stacked so much against them that there's nothing they feel like they can do what most people don't know is that if you're sitting at the bottom there's nowhere to go but up okay change your circumstances by first changing the way you think about what your life is supposed to be follow

through in small increments and soon you'll see that life gets better when you get better number two being broke and being poor are two different states of being you can be broke many times in life but being poor is deeper than money people in poverty have no hope they lose it they lack faith in their ability to write their own future they lack the will to push forward a person can escape being broke many times but if you end up poor and accept it there's little that can be done for you unfortunately too many people

grow up without understanding the distinction between these two states with parents brainwashing their kids into believing they're poor when in reality the children can only be broke for them money is associated with greed and the lack of it with some kind of delus Pride there is no nobility in poverty okay if you are poor you can't take care of yourself and those you love not to mention helping the world to move forward number three educated people take advantage of uneducated people the same way the strong used to persecute the weak throughout time and across all

species we've seen the formation of hierarchies the strongest lion mates with all the females in the pride the most social chimp leads the pack and in the case of humans the stronger armies take from the weak time passed and the sword and shield were replaced by the pen and the book and today by your ability to navigate the internet poor people are not poor because they don't have the potential to escape poverty they simply don't have the education or the tools to do so they lack the understanding and the systems needed to pull a community

together toward a common goal today the ability to leverage knowledge over someone else determines the hierarchy of power because our societ is predicted on this if you look at the most powerful people in the world these are not Olympic athletes they are educated they create the opportunities for everyone else and life rewards those who create opportunities number four poor parents can't teach their children how to be rich they simply don't know how because if they did they would have done it themselves yet parents still want to teach their kids the things they themselves find valuable

but the difference is those lessons are about surviv at the bottom this is what leads to generational poverty this happens when each generation makes sure to sabotage the next one either through a lack of proper development through negative influence and in some cases just Pride there's something interesting that we've seen in poor communities that we want to share with you it's this concept of a lottery child basically you make as many children as you can in the hopes that one of them will make it and will take care of everyone else what these people don't

understand is that the race for a lottery child condemns the rest of them to a life of poverty think about it in the hopes of having one child that gets into the middle class people are having up to 10 kids the sum need of resources for the remaining nine of them dramatically outweighs the earning power of the one that made it if you want to know what Rich parents are teaching their kids click in the top right corner and watch our video that we did specifically on the lessons that make the biggest difference number five

the hardest working person in the world likely lives in poverty this is one of those things that people in the middle and top get wrong about those less fortunate than them some people believe all you have to do to escape poverty is work hard but nothing can be further from the truth hard work gets you fed just for the day but to escape poverty you need more than that you see wealth or the lack of it is a result of your ability to use the tools you have at your dispos proposal the problem arises when

there isn't proper access to the tools required to escape poverty if hard work was all it took to be wealthy the richest people in the world would be the children working in the Cobalt mines that get you your iPhone number six poverty requires company if there's one universal rule that applies to everything it's that similar individuals gravitate toward one another why well they share the same struggles common enemies or common difficulties bring people together this is true for both those who've made it and those who haven't the rich come together to find new ways to

make themselves even richer while the poor come together to look down on those even poorer than them number seven the poor look to others to help but never to themselves now the Paradox of this situation is you can't help those who don't want to help themselves getting out of poverty is a combination of many factors and you can only do it when opportunity meets preparation people walk out of poverty every day yet most poor people still wish someone would just pull them out of it it's up to you axer you need to take your education

basic utilities or access to financial instruments like Banks geography Health a lack of early employment opportunities and addiction as long as you still have one chain locking you in there's no way for you to run toward that Horizon number nine good luck and poverty go hand inand now this is a big one as most people in poverty believe that getting out of poverty is only a matter of luck and luck alone although they might have ended up where they are because of luck or better said the lack of it the way out does follow a

different formula so here's an interesting observation that we've made poor people want to be rich instead of not wanting to be poor anymore this is mind-blowing because poor people don't see success in jumping one social class at a time so if they can't be rich they'd rather not try at all this is the main reason why they buy scratch tickets or play the lotto or wait for an inheritance hit the casinos Etc they all want to go from zero to 100 really quick fix the things that you can fix one by one and you will

see your life continue to get better number 10 entertainment is how the rich keep the poor docile now as long as they're fed and entertained people believe their life is going well it's one of the illusions of power and one of the biggest chains keeping people in poverty give them bread and circuses and they'll never Revolt how much did we really change in the last two Millennia since juvenile said those words we built more coliseums to hold more people and now entertainment is in everyone's home you're playing FIFA rocket League fortnite Dota 2 just just

to feel like a gladiator but do it at your own expense okay you're watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians or the Big Bang Theory the same way the ancient Romans watched slaves being thrown to the Lions you know it doesn't do much for your current reality but a good distraction is always welcome isn't it empty entertainment is a form of addiction that takes years out of your life without you even knowing it number 11 money flees the hands that don't work for it have you ever noticed how those who are bad with money can never

seem to keep a hold of it even if Fortune hits them right in the face it only takes a couple of years for them to get back to the place they started in this is because money doesn't like people who didn't work for it so they flee and find new owners when you bring it all together this is one of the fundamental reasons why money doesn't solve poverty a study on Ubi or Universal basic income done in Finland over two years where they gave € 560 every single month with no strings attached to people it

had seen no real Improvement in their ability to get their lives together and while people on the basic income were more likely to be employed the difference was small you see money solves money problems but poverty isn't a money problem because the money you can give is always finite instead poverty is an infrastructure and opportunity problem give the people the option to get educated give them the opportunity to participate in the marketplace and everyone should be able able to take care of themselves now here are two great books that we can't stop recommending to everyone

okay for people who are looking to get out of poverty the richest man in Babylon for people who are not poor but want to understand what it takes to jump from one social class to another factfulness if you've read one of them get the other and if you haven't read either of them read both number 12 debt and consumerism are the modern versions of slavery so think about it like this if dollars were seen as Freedom points you would look at the world differently since slavery is illegal Society has been looking for ways to steadily

increase productivity without Crossing that line but you can bet they came very close to it being alive is no longer free in modern society you never really own anything even the people who are able to fully pay off their house are not complete owners of it the government still charges you rent for you to live in the house that you purchased they call it property tax the moment you're born you're put on a treadmill and told to run they put carrots on a stick and dangle it in front of your face to keep you motivated

that new iPhone the Balenciaga sneakers the gold chain the house with a view these are all carrots meant to keep you pushing that treadmill forward they try to own you through debt as soon as they legally can most people in the US end up in debt before they're old enough to drink most of them spend the rest of their lives trying to repay it when the main focus of your existence is paying off the fruits of your labor to somebody else isn't that just another form of slavery yeah we think so number 13 poor is

the most expensive thing a person could be now most people don't understand just how expensive it is to be poor a single unforeseeable expense completely crushes your world some of you might be wondering right now how come it's so expensive to be poor when being poor means you have no money well look at it this way okay you don't have money to fix a cavity so you ignore it that tooth gets compromised and now you have to get an implant or just have it pulled the cavity fix was a couple of hundred the implant is

a couple of thousand you want to use a bank in order to keep things going financially but there isn't enough money in your account to cover the fee in this case being poor literally is costing you money because you've got no money in your account and you lack good prospects that bank is not going to issue you a standard loan so what's left to do here you take out a payday loan with an interest 10 times higher than the bank would normally have charged you we could keep going on with this example for days all

right it costs you more to be poor this rule is as old as history it even shows up in the Bible under Matthew with a slightly different wording Whoever has been given more and they will have an abundance whoever does not have even what they will have will be taken from them the rich keep getting richer while the poor keep getting poorer number 14 those who say that money doesn't grow on trees have never planted anything fruit is the result of someone planting a seed and caring for a tree to grow fruit has value this

is true in both the literal and metaphorical senses if you want fruit or money well you better start planting some trees these people think of it as free money but finding the right seed digging into the ground covering it with fertile soil watering it every day making sure it doesn't get destroyed by insects or external elements until a tree is strong enough to bear fruit it is incredibly difficult it requires work time and attention stop expecting fruit when you haven't planted any seeds and number 15 dying poor is a choice now on average it takes

20 years for someone to jump from one wealth bracket onto the next some people can do it quicker and some take a little bit more than 20 years but it's more than doable the 40 years between your 20s and your 60s are more than enough time you have more than enough strength Health drive and passion that you need to take the risk yes there's no easy way out of poverty but you've got the time and time has value unless you waste it you have no control over where you're born or how you're born what family

you get but how you die is up to you you have the years ahead of you and frankly if you're poor it doesn't get any worse than this okay poverty is freeing because you can be anything you want yet some people choose to remain the same we've got such a large community of people here and many of you have made this leap in the past couple of years so please share your experiences with those in the comments who are just starting out what did it take for you to escape poverty tell your story in the

comments and be that inspiration for people in need you never know how your comment could change somebody else's life and as to thank you for sticking with us until the end we're giving you a bonus today's bonus is that a lack of money opens you up for abuse by the system now the ugly truth about money is that it's tied to your level of security this is such a mind-blowing idea that somehow the number of madeup credits you have to your name determines how much Society is willing to care for you rich people get away

with that everyone else would not be able to most of your country's politicians are wealthy Beyond imagination without being able to explain where their wealth comes from in a system design to screw over the little guy your only option left is to become the big guy and help change it without changing yourself along the way if you've been able to escape poverty or plan to do it in the next couple of years please write the word Escape in the comments so we know how many of you are on this journey and we couldn't be any
