Why are most people broke?

I DID NOT HAVE THE THINGS people bitttched, moaned, groaned, and whined, and ruined themselves….about…

The eco-system is crazy for one-small-fish, like me.

You do your job and go home. You dont got to worry about the company future, paying your insurance, scam artist , thieves, managing people, making sure your employees are safe, paid, etc..

When did you realize that your childhood was not normal?

Beggers cant be chooser..

So, my choice of friends was “ traumatized, drunk, druggy, alcoholic, crazy, abusive friends” or homeless and beggers or isolation and myself.

I guess, in a way, he was like the royalty and I was like a “peasant” on the bleachers or side line, hoping for “bread” in the circus of life.

I was poor. I had the police trying to shake me down sometimes, my boss breathing down the neck, the other races hating , disliking me, the jealous people trying to ruin my little happiness, the fake friends who wanted company for their misery, trying to get me fired or sabotage my life, the druggies trying to lure me into their dark, dank, hopeless world… the bullies trying to muscle their way into destroying my life. And, I had some people trying to recruit me for their jobs, profession, career path, etc…

There is sharks trying to make loan offers, brides, gifts-with-strings-attached…. etc…

I was the poor guy with 0$ in my pocket and 0$ in my bank account. I watched friends get hook up from other friends, free cars from family, the gravy train, etc… being spoiled by their parents…

My wife admitted to cheating on me with a married man. Should I tell this man and his wife that I know?

I normally spend about 90% to 95% of my money but save a bit when i was low-income…for rainy days, unforeseen expenses, unexpected friends needing money, wanting to buy something i never seen, etc.

so i isolated alot, studied books at the library, felt like i was already in jail without committing a crime.

Overall, I think people have a hard-time because they are not “ALIGNED” with reality. lol

How would you feel if your girlfriend had dick pics on her phone?

lol ahahahahahah

Such as splurging or spending all your money at one place. Or being lazy, or partying too much…etc..

That pretty much makes you rich. Worked for me.

My mexican friends dumped me because I was broke, and my asian friends dumped me because I was broke.

Anyway, after I got a job, I did not want to be “Poor” any more. hahahahaha lol . So, when I got my paycheck I was careful to save, invest, etc… I learned the mistakes of people by how they “GROAN AND MOAN “ about having kids too early, not making enough for bills, gas being expensive, girlfriend problems, drug problems, etc… I mean, people literally tell you how they “RUINED” their lives.

lol hahahahahahaha

What is the most ridiculous obviously false verse in the Bible?

My friends slowly were figuring it out how lucky they had it. Some striaghtened out….some stopped bragging to me.. I was slowly grinding… and life threw some curve balls, and kept trying to shake me off.

I rather tell you how most of the rich and wealthy people i know keep and make money.

But, no one wanted to be friends with me…especially because I had 0$…

What smell will you never forget?

Anyway, I would get paid, working almost full time. And get like 600$ at the time. at 16 year old …that was alot of money to me. I bought food, essentials and saved like 300$. =D

but they say “ god gives his strongest soldiers the biggest challenge”

After 7th grade, i did not get a allowance…like my friends…so they dumped me. lol

And, they both could not understand each other, and were “distant worlds apart”

old woman, with couple kids, used up , washed up woman, etc… i guess, i should be grateful..

My other teenager friends? Well, they also got a bag-boy job at a grocery store…they made minimum wage too..about 600$ -although my friend tried to 1 up me, and flex or brag that with O.T or he made 650$ or whatever…Anyway, we both got PAID about the same.

Do women really cheat more than men?

Thats some “reality check” I swallowed as a teenager… one of the hardest pill to swallow.

Then, You know, From my point of view, I get to watch “ rich people” smooth sailing, protected in their big house, food, shelter, lights, comforts , and guidance provided by parents…. who have the time and day and energy to care for them.. lol

and am like, fukk, man, god, can you give me a easy challenge?

As a friend of Megan's who also watches Suits, would you advise her not to return to the show in order to protect her character's reputation?

And most other people are simply ,living the dream for now.

But, my body hurts. my arm hurts, my knees hurt, my back hurts.

trying to climb or go up a “slippery slope” and, I failed college, and am about 40 ish year old now.

Why are US customs agents so talkative? I cringed hard when a US customs agent asked me if I was on vacation. He doesn’t need to know why I went to another country as long as I am a U.S. citizen.

I had a nightmare version of happiness and love and sex… such as no-dating, disgust from woman, being too old now, too short, too fat, too ugly, and now, the dating pool is like a dumpster on fire….

#3 work hard, and save and invest

And, No, If I had better option of friends, rather than my druggy, drunk, and crazy, psychopathic friends…well, i probably would of chosen better.

Our planet’s oxygen levels will drop, and there’s no way to stop it - Boy Genius Report

The benefits of being low-class or low income is . Your job is pretty easy. Beside the labor.

hahahaha, i guess, those movies like clint eassstwood…had the “the good, the bad and the ugly”

I was grinding my minimum wage job…busting my back, scrubbing dishes, cooking, taking out the trash.

Is Gupta Nilayam season 1 of Raghul Vasudevan completed? Can he compile and send all Episodes at once as a long story?

And, No I did not get to go to Movie theaters because it was too expensive. etc..

It challenged me to find grit, save, invest, and didnt matter to me how others had a early start, head-start, or whatever..or how others did it…like them “becoming drug dealers, criminals, liars, thieves”

I had hope. But I realistically realized, i have hope…but its gonna suck, and hard, and its pretty much nearly impossible to Thrive in this world.

but anyway, peep who look at me now days…. all they say see is some short dude with some money…thats all on the surface….

but not me… I was inbetween the bridge… too poor to party with the rich… and barely had enough to stay afloat from being destitute or hopeless.

As a renter, you can just skip town if you like or move to another location any time.

Being broke means, I got dumped by all my friends…and woman gave me zero chance. HAHAHAHAAHh

(most people make more, start spending more, getting into more debt) but hey, i started to “SAVE MORE INVEST MORE” boring, i know.

Dealt with racism, politics, sabotage, fake friends, haters, favoritism, unfairness, crooked people, cheaters, liars, etc…

maybe, its simply, the “reality” the reality-check and this is as good as it is…

And no body really likes hearing about the “REALITY CHECK” like the BILL that comes after a fancy restaurant.

What, I noticed in most people is : FUN GOES OUT “LAST” kinda like, the homeless still buying beer, drugs and partying and smoking

As I become richer, or got bigger pay or bigger job, my 90% spend on expenses went down gradually over the years, to like 30% Then, my saving gone-up, and also my fun money.

Then, I was mostly “A DAY LATE AND DOLLAR SHORT” for just about everything..

but not me…

This affords you the opportunity to go do whatever you like and not even really care if the building is burning down. You can be like that dog meme with the house on fire, saying “ its fine”

lol hahahaha , maybe this is some twisted karma or revenge on my life.

Step 2 - Just cause you got a raise, dont mean you do a “life style creep” up… What i mean is:

If you can work hard, be disciplined, make sacrifices, swallow some hard truth, endure, take the pain, the punishment, the sadness, smile thru the darkness, fall 7 times and get up 9 times…. have the courage to accept the things you can change, and have the understanding to “LET GO” of the things you cannot change….” you should be alright…

or doing drugs and fighting parents, and ruining the things you have…..

My friend had a video game system, fresh clothes, nice food, nice apartment, etc… but you know, i was his poor friend.

Yea, I know, if your rich, and got daddy and a team to protect you and your dreams and ambitions and got connections and family ties…..life is going to be a smooth-sailing life…

Living my unique life. Going thru the good-times and the bad times…and the ugly times..

yet, am not depressed or sad…

Life happens to all of us. I been hit with problems , bumps, challenges, etc…. but my buffer zone when the boat rocks saves me.

But, in the end, am nothing but me. Just a dude… living one day at a time…

As you get a higher pay raise or side hustle or whatever.

Jesus christ or i think the holy bible would give you quotes and there is many famous people with wise words…and am not here to gong that bell that no one seems to hear.

My friends would love to work, get a job, then PARTY or whatever… then, when they lose their job…or pay.. They are struggling hard to find a job or work or whatever..and they still continue to drink and party a bit, even without a job…and stay broke and mad and blame the system.

He was the rich kid with parent -family problems and he would do drugs, drink, smoke and was a really fun guy to hang around with in high school. He hated responsibility, hated his parents, and loved to do bad things. I was the poor friend that just had nothing better to do than watch him or be entertained by his life-style. I was too poor. My pocket empty. I could sit in my room with zero money and read books for free at the library…or go for walks, watch my friend drink, smoke, have strange conversation, watch him do drugs, and it was interesting observing and studying him.

But, as you see in my order, fun is the last thing i do…and trust me…when I am having fun. .I am wasting money at the bar, buying 7$ beer that i can get for 1$ at the store… you get the point.. FUN goes out first…

So, I just kept trying, and life kept kicking me down…

I rather prefer a easy life, a good wife, a good life, wayyy less pain in my body, etc..

But, you get the point.

who likes hearing that? I heard that so many times.

Because, rather than tell you 10,000 ways people become broke, i rather tell you the simple things that make you rich.

And, my poor friends would say “ rich people are lucky they have money or get envious and mad and jealous or think its unfair that others can have the same-problem” but it doesn’t affect the rich as much because they have-money.

I guess, they say “ EASY COME , EASY GO” so you know, my friends pissed it away…ruined their golden opportunity, did drugs, partied, did alcohol, etc… ironic…

For rule number one!

You dont start spending… Now, you got to build up a saving nest, invest a bit, try to make more money.

i hope a young hot woman would see me as a sexy short king and date me but , you know, thats probably just gonna be my “fantasy” that i never get to live.

anyway, alot of opportunity to become rich…but who really cares about money

but not me.

But, I saved my money, and my friend, went to the mall, bought some clothes, fun things… then, he bought some drugs, alcohol, and he invite a group of friends to hang out at the park or whatever “spot” and he would smoke, drink, do drugs, and spend all his money. (He was broke all the time. )

but am kinda old, they old, and the thrill is gone, the light is gone from their eyes, from having failed relationships, many sex partners etcs….

In my 40 years, Everyone I met, has some excuse, reason, unreasonable attitude, resist reality, lazy, druggy, spoiled, etc. Insert the 1000 ways a fool becomes broke.

but, instead, you know, now am getting richer or whatever… but nothing will take away the pain, the missed opportunity, the lack of love, attention, romance, dating, happiness..

FUkk, reality sucks. But, i think, life or god or some miracle or the government rat theory or testing on me ceased and they let me “live a fantasy life now”

God, I hate that reality-check….

And, so you know, that helped me …. from making the same-mistakes?

I mean, you can go look for another job, and walk away.

After you save up , rainy-day money, fun money, you also increase - investing money.

Also, renting , as much as people hate that others have a “house” or own it…Owning a home is another level of responsibility, such as insurance, broken sink, water damage, property tax, etc…

I started to help my parents out with bills and food… Not that am a “saint” or whatever, nor am i trying to shine a spot light on me. No. I just felt really sad when they didnt have money or had to make sacrifice or was stressed at work, etc… Since, I knew or watched them struggle. Plus, since i was a poor kid, i knew “EVERYTHING cost money” many times, I had to NOT-GET-WHAT-I- WANT.

YOu probably heard it before like “ BEGGERS CANT BE CHOOSERS” lol

I failed school. But, that doesn’t mean its all bad. It means, I have zero to little responsibility. lol

If you are poor and hoping for a better life. Look no further than the “man in the mirror”

Then, after you save about 6 months worth of your monthly needs, you invest a bit more, and give your self more than a “WIGGLE ROOM” but room to breathe, and if anything like “car breaking down” or getting a parking ticket or whatever doesn’t cause a crisis or make you juggle your bills and rent and food…

Not all homeless, but just look at the “PRIORITY” of most folks..

and taking it for granted.

My life is pretty much on EASY STREET now… which makes me suspicious.

Because, they cant stop themselves.

Life aint no perfect place. I got a ton of things to whine and complain about. Things to mold me .

although, some renters only look at the problem and see that they are finding it hard to afford rent, or whatever.

#5 get a side hustle, study, read

He would get mad that he didnt get PAID enough and also life sucked…

Work hard, save, invest then have fun.

As life problems and obstacles happen…. The first thing that goes for me is : fun time.

And forbidden fruits laid before my feet by trappers…like trying to offer me illegal stuff, and trap me into situations…I cant get into that one too much…

Am not sad nor is this a PITY party.

but anyway, am thankful that am on “EASY street” now…

#4 recycle, reuse, repurpose

but it sure keeps me from having a miserable time.

Then, as you make more money, your fun money starts building up. Then, you have fun.

This is just a based-on-a-true-story of my life. LOL hahahahah

So, the lesson was: Dont ever make a life plan that goes vertical….its been up and down’s sideways, etc.

That 5% would give me wiggle-room when I was making minimum wage.

Anyway, i got a job, and life goes on.

#1 live within your means

When life , Rocks me…like job loss or whatever… FUn goes out, then my investing, then my saving, then, am left with working hard….

It was almost as if there are TWO types of people in this world…THE HAVES and HAVE-NOT.

Bored in my room doing nothing VS. watching my alcohol fueled , drug frenzied friend, fighting his parents won. And sometimes, he would feed me food because i was too poor that the only thing to eat was white-rice or whatever. lol

and, well, my parents had zero money for me. lol So, I got a job.

at first, at minimum wage, my bills , rent, car insurance, food, etc… was paid, the essentials…pretty much 90 to 95% of my money was gone, month to month.

I was working at some “burger” fast food place.. Then, slowly, and gradually , reality check came.

I was busting my life. My life sucked, but I knew, the only way out was to work-hard, earn money.

I grew up poor and penny-less. When I was 16 working my minimum wage job. My bank account balance was less than 4$….

#2 save a little bit - dont wanna be a miser and miserable nor a splurge that suffers later

Of course, they graduate some fancy schools and get a fancy job with big pay and big responsibility…

They said “ everytime we wanna go eat or do something, you have no money!” and fair enough, i was broke, so my friends dumped me. lol

girls who like me, would be told by the group to dis-own me or Not like me….because i was broke. lol
