Why can't the poor get rich?
I am from Wenzhou, and my family has been doing business for generations. I will talk about my own humble opinions, which can be regarded as personal experience, but it is definitely not contempt for the poor. On the contrary, I hope to give young people some useful thinking inspiration.
First of all, the thinking of the poor is highly limited and contagious.
The poor think about how to save money all day long. Money is not saved, but earned.
The rich will never consider saving money, but how to make money with money.
The poor like to be with a group of poor people, and the thinking and action factors that make each other poor, in the brain mirror reflection, influence and reinforce each other, and cannot get out of the information cocoon.
The rich always like to build connections, enter high-level circles to find business opportunities, and summarize experiences from successful people.
Secondly, the poor run around all day to fill their stomachs with three meals a day, and have no free time to think about how to turn over, how to get the key to wealth, and how to find noble people in their careers.
I don't know if you have ever seen a Hong Kong documentary. A second-generation rich man thought he was very capable. In fact, he was very capable and founded his own listed company.
He believed that as long as he was capable, he could start from scratch even if he was born in a humble family. So, under the record of the documentary crew, he started from a low-level cleaner and planned to start from scratch.
As a result, he found that after deducting rent, food and other necessary living expenses every month, there was not much left, and he could not accumulate funds to start a business. In addition, in order to save expenses, the rental place was very remote, and the daily commute to work took 4 hours. The body hardly got the most basic rest, which caused his mental and physical strength to be much worse than before. He had almost no time to think about starting a business and making connections. All his energy and time were put on how to live humbly.
As expected, after persisting for 3 months, the second-generation rich man gave up his self-made business and declared failure.
So there is an interesting saying: If you want to make a person useless, let him be so busy at work that he has no time to think about the future.
Finally, the poor do not have the accumulation of original capital, and there will be no snowball effect of wealth.
It must be understood that in the current era, the speed at which capital makes money is much faster than the speed at which labor makes money. The divergence between the two is not a linear extrapolation, but a geometric multiple generational difference. The richer you are, the faster you make money. The more you make money by labor, the slower you make money as you age.
If a young person who starts from scratch does not make major mistakes when he is young, can accumulate a certain amount of wealth and capital, and can quickly improve his cognition and successfully transform into an expert in capital money making, this is a lucky event with a small probability, because most people have no way to accumulate wealth when they are young. Even if they have accumulated a certain amount of wealth, they cannot understand the secret of capital making money. Even if they understand, they may not be able to successfully operate capital. After all these layers of screening, I think it is absolutely a very low probability event for young people to start from scratch.
Of course, if the young people themselves have no money when they are young, but their families have money, it is also a very lucky thing.
In our era, the end of the parents' generation is often the starting point of the next generation.
So there is a very heartbreaking saying: the end of a poor family's children who have been busy all their lives is far worse than the starting point of a rich family's children when they are born.
The environmental factors that make it difficult for the poor to turn over are, after all, under the credit currency system. The more assets a person has, the easier it is to obtain credit funds under the over-issuance of currency, and the easier it is to make a fortune. The poor who do not have assets as collateral for bank credit are very poor in the process of the rich constantly digging for gold.
The over-issuance of currency will definitely lead to the polarization of the rich and the poor, and it will definitely lead to the solidification of classes. Wealth will only be passed on from generation to generation. In the end, young people without family background and wealth will definitely be involuted, lying flat, and have low desires.
In order to change this situation, in addition to policy intervention, young people must learn more and recharge themselves, make more friends with rich people who are willing to help you, and when they see an opportunity, they must dare to gamble, but they must be sure. How to be sure depends on the results of your learning.
In addition, don't linger on short videos, games, novels and empty love, especially love, which are luxury goods that the poor cannot afford, but once they are deeply involved, they will destroy themselves.
