>Why do poorfags not understand budgeting or passive income?

How in this era are people so ignorant that they can't look up something on the internet?

People can become millonaires off of 50k/yr and passive income, and yet everyone is upto their fucking eyeballs in debt.

Lets say your having problems with your health. People instinctively know to either 1) Go to the doctor to get it fixed or 2) Go online and look up how to try to narrow down the issue and help themselves, but with finances everyone seems fucking lost. Why can't they just apply the same logic, sit down and talk to an expert or research themselves?

Is it all an orchestrated scam by banks and other institutions to keep modern day slavery in motion?
>>
>>1976924
These kinds of things despite the meme name, required work, time, and money. Most people either lack these or fail to commit them. Then people get slammed by ads, pressured into children, and other related shit which leads to more spending and less time learning.

Budgeting really should be taught in schools.

Is it all conspiracy? Are ((they)) distracting and suppressing info? Why are they not teaching more about personal finance in school?

Key word is "household" which implies a family.

>Is it all conspiracy? Are ((they)) distracting and suppressing info? Why are they not teaching more about personal finance in school?

Oh fuck off it's easily explained that most people choose to live in the moment and do not think about the long term. Most people want shit now, not later. I don't subscribe to that, but hey these people help keep my portfolio growing so I'm not complaining.

Is it really hard for you to understand that most people lack discipline? It really shouldn't come as this much of a surprise to you.
>>
>>1976924
The biggest scam is keeping people in 50-100k employment and feeding them the "millionaire retirement" line

That's the TRUE scam, and even educated people with sensible spending patterns fall for it.

Don't start a business. It's too hard. Too risky. Keep working 40 hours a week (for my business), live frugally, put your money into investments and pray 2008 never happens again wiping away 10 years of your work. Le compound interest will set you free!

Good goy

You got it. Its all a ruse op. School teaches u how to be a fucking robot. I had to teach myself to ballance a checkbook with google. Folks always say save money but have little or no savings. Also there is little left to save and then it is btfo by inflation.

We are told retirement wilk be handled by a safe 401k.

Lolwut.... trust my life savings and retirement to a stock market with 0 control over it and shit growth. Just.... no....

Add to that the 10% with the means and motivation to become rich are screached at by the other 90% trying to pull us down and deter us while everythibg we have been tought is ass backwards and its no wonder.

hes exaggerating but if you invest smart, set up a good retirement plan, or are lucky enough to work for an employee-owned company, you can set yourself up for life by age 40. not many have access to passive income such as getting paid rent by tenants, but free cash flow through stocks, dividends, bonds, etc adds up over time. most poor people have no source of cash other than their job. just invest part of your paycheck. i have direct deposit and pull out at least 10%

I haven't had less than $500 since I was 14. My lowest since was $1500, which was because I just withdrew 3k to buy a car. And I'm born-poor lived-poor hyper-poorfag who has been barely employed the whole time.

The issue with burgerstanis is that as soon as they get any money at all, they spend it. Doesn't matter on what. Clothes shopping binge, eating out 24/7, new furnature, new gadget, other shit. They're retards.

My parents always lived paycheck to paycheck. I thought, a paycheck every week, all you need to do to ensure you never have to live like that again is to work one extra week's equivalent in overtime, but keep your spending the same. Keep the money in the bank. Use it to even out your bank account fluctuations.

Fuck, my bank account keeps going up and I don't even know what to do with the money. And I don't make that much. I can't think of anything I want to buy.

Poland is unironically a pretty good place to live. The standard of living is comparable to first world in big cities, just the wages aren't. It's also very, very safe; I believe it was ranked the safest travel destination in Europe since most of our criminals/white trash emigrated to the UK. Literally.
There is also pretty much no political correctness tyranny, I'd say the freedom of speech is greater than in Western Europe (don't know how it compares to America). Female Poles are famously attractive and from my observation so are many young males where I live (including yours truly). So if you're a grill come here and invest in me.

Its not even just poorfags. I grew up in a solid middle class family in an "excellent" school district. I have a brother who is about the same age as me, has had similar employment history as me, lived in the same areas and has always earned about the same wages as me. With both of us around 30 years old, he is dead broke and I have around $350,000 net worth.

Whats the difference? All of his decisions revolve around feeling good right here right now, mine revolve around being loaded as fuck when I'm 40. He was dating a jewess in college though, so he might have the jew-curse. Point being, dont be a degenerate if you want to be wealthy.

an unfounded bull run. what caused the housing crisis was never fixed. GDP is anemic. stocks are massively overvalued. this isn't controversial stuff, but thats enough free advice for now.
>>
>>1979545
OP here, Lets hope housing market crashes again. I'm looking to fucking buy soon.

It's probably just becuse of my inexperience but to me it just seems like theres free money out there for the taking.

I'm about to buy my 2nd home on 25k/yr (just got bumped to 42k 3 months ago)

My first was 147.5k and its on track to make me 8k equity a year and after about 10years, it'll make me a measly 12k profit. Grab 5-8 and your set, boom net worth of 1mil+ , gets too hectic? Get a management company

Or stocks, invest in the whole market make 5-8% consistently on your money....dont even have to look at it.

not everyone is rich enough or willing to invest that much money into a single property, plus at least in my experience theres fierce competition when you bid on foreclosures, and its a lot harder to back out quick if things go south.

but the problem is most people own no sources of income besides their job. I truly believe the education system was designed to keep people poor debt slaves. plus its easier to follow a crowd than do your own research.

that shit doesn't exists. you either risk your money in which case it's an investment not passive income, or you work for your income or take legal risks. you won't get money for nothing. obviously working hard for a short while and receiving income for longer time instead of one time payment is not in any way a passive income.

See the thing is I would treat you a lot more seriously if your posts and argument points had a bit more substance with a point -to- argue rather than a view-point-based statement followed up by "Stop being stupid"
You are not providing evidence, you are providing nothing of value and instead assume people know what the fuck you're talking about

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were both retarded AND blind. See, I posted a graph that directly refutes your statement that GDP is anemic, and actually shows that GDP growth has been steady and sustained for the last several years.

I've already offered factual rebuttals for every point. But you're so fucking stupid you think all opinions have equal merit, regardless of whether they're true or not. For example, your mother not drowning you at birth. That was a bad decision, and its supported by the fact that every post you've made in this thread has been 100% wrong.

Had I know you were both handicapped and illiterate, I wouldn't have wasted my time. Now that I know you're dumb, incapable of reading, and a waste of life, I'll just filter you out of my sight for good.

Its easy being young and poor. When you get into you late twenties, that old whore biology comes around the corner and start slowly draining the vitality that lets you go on partying by night and eating ramen noodles by day.

Probably the simplest explanation. Since I get all my entertainment from the net(60 a month), would be reading at a library if I didn't have the net, my entertainment budget is zero.
Meanwhile, there's a massive alcohol and food culture based around having a good time right now and enjoying life. You can't really argue with it, because these things are nice. The only reason why moneyfags are against it is because they realize the true cost of alcohol/food over time, they want the money and security more than they want the food/alcohol.
There's no way to argue with desires. I felt the same way, I had no savings, would spend down to my last dime every month on junk food, then the moment I stopped doing that I had tons of savings.
Junk food was almost my entire budget. Once you cut out indulgences, lower your cost of living, it gets much easier to justify saving because you're already living a satisfying life and saving money itself is satisfying too.
I heard about this program in britain where they automatically saved money for your retirement for you, sounded brilliant. I figure that most people know that they should retire, but they want to be forced to do it because they can barely handle the freedom they already have.

A lot of people will simply be poor no matter how much they earn. I know someone who was making $100k for what I know to be atleast 5 years. She was fired and had to get a loan from her parents within a month. She got another job, and made ~$30k in contract on top of that. She didn't make any estimate payments, and can't come up with the $15k tax bill. She's a little bit of an outlier, but not by much.

I do not have a retirement fund because as a wagie who has not stayed at a job for more than 2 years, I've yet to find one convincing enough for me

However I do have +8000 in savings, which is better than everyone else around me because I'm very frugal and still live with family

Shit list, lad. Here's something far more reasonable:

policy
>eliminate sales and property taxes and create a progressive income tax that places the tax burden on the top 0.01% (in other words, poorfags starting out in the world shouldn't be paying taxes since they can't really afford to contribute anything)
>entitlements reform to penalize individuals who abuse them (jail and shame people who attempt to earn welfare when they are capable of working)
>increase minimum wage by small amounts (not $15 an hour outright, but definitely a long term target) to prevent price floors from forming
>get rid of the federal loan program to force colleges to lower prices and compete with one another
>encourage formation of apprenticeship guilds and unions, subject them to third party review at regular intervals
>break up big banks and redistribute them across the United States to prevent a central point of failure for the economy
>bring back Glass-Steigal laws to prevent the smaller banks from colluding and commandeering the economy (basically prevent a 51% style attack on the economy)

education
>public funds mean public schools, charter schools banned
>develop busing programs to eliminate barriers to entry for disadvantaged students
>hold teacher unions and school officials accountable for their actions
>a school going overbudget repeatedly in a 2-3 year timeframe would trigger a state investigation with the worst punishment mean having their accreditation revoked
>raise the minimum requirements for teaching jobs, raise salaries, make teaching one of the most respected positions out there
>private schools still a choice, but would receive no public funding

social responsibility
>encourage personal responsibility and long term thinking
>increase access to birth control by a billion, teach safe sex practices and family planning
>arrest any "church" that attempts to threaten harm against a person seeking an abortion
>put limits on welfare and actually enforce them

OP BACK AGAIN
Of course theres gonna be risk with investing. Stocks and home prices CAN go down(historically they always go up), but remember, you don't lose money til you sell. Investing in the whole market and never looking at it is as passive as it gets.

Yes 2008 happened and if you stuck it out all it really did was set you BACK a few years, if you got screwed out of retirement you're a fucking dummy for exposing yourself to that much risk that late in the game.

Shitcoins are essentially penny stocks. You can throw some PLAY MONEY at it, but Bitcoin and ETH are so rare I wouldnt consider it a fucking staple of any portfolio, and I certainly wouldn't expect to get rich off it. Bitcoin was a freak anomaly.

Homes are not technically passive unless you have a management company, but when your making 1200-1500 on each home every month, it'll be worth the 150 bucks each to never even have to think about it.

There must be a lot of low income part time wagies on here for all this shit about "I CANT SCRAP TOGETHER 2 DIMES HOW DO I INVEST?" Jesus guys just budget yourselves, I bought my first home on 25k a year salary and it took my like 2 years yeah but its possible.

If it takes, someone making 25k, 10 years to get 5 homes, and then a total of 15 years from the purchase of the first one for them to all be completely paid off (assuming 15 years to pay off each with a domino effect of rental money into principle, which should be the minimum you strive for) BOOM 60K/yr plus for doing nothing and you have anywhere from 600k-1mil in equity.

I'm trying to educate myself based off what they're sending me and im kind of getting it, only been doing it for 2 weeks, but ive always made money on Farraday's advice. made about 120$ the first week and like 170 the second week, not bad really. been checking biz too for exchange advice.

Yeah, so when you make you account with FOREX and fund an account, they give you the option for a free month sub to Farrady research, which i recommend subbing to and following closely. They give trade advice every morning. Other than that, i'd just look up foreign exchange tips. this one has been pretty informative http://www.babypips.com/ I just put in 100$ originally, which i'd recommend. See if you can grow that into a couple hundred a week(as in, 40-50$ a day on trades) within a few weeks. I wouldn't risk much more than that while you're learning. if you can get where you're making that much then you can start trading fully on that 3-400$ you have in your account and start making like 100$+ a day on trades.

It goes like this.

If you are poor, you are told by your parents to "make more money". So instead of making 35k a year you work hard to get a job making 50k a year. Your habits don't change, you just spend a little more and live a little bit more comfortably. You're still fucking yourself over like a poor person by blowing all of your cash, but then you get promoted to making 60k a year and you do the same shit. You never learned any better.

If you are working class you are told by your parents to "save money". So you get that 50k a year job and stick it in a bank. The interest doesn't beat inflation, but you aren't thinking about that. You're thinking about a nest egg to retire on when you get old, and about delaying gratification and maybe being able to afford a vacation instead of spending it on eating out for a month and a big screen tv. So you live a little bit better but not as well as you could.

If you are middle class your parents tell you to "invest money". So you start a 401k, an IRA, and maybe buy some stock options. You already make more money in a comfy job than the people in the working class, and by the time you get ready to retire your investments start to turn into assets which are promptly broken up and squandered by your 2.5 kids.

If you are rich your parents tell you to "acquire assets and make sure that they outweigh your liabilities". So you use your IRA, TSP, and 401k as assets. You leverage your money to buy real estate and businesses. You don't give a shit how much you make, your money isn't measured in terms of your personal earnings but in the cash flow and appreciation of your assets, which must outweigh your liabilities.

People only sometimes know the next step up, they rarely take two steps upward in their lifetimes.

Poland is amazing, I have a much better life here than I did in London and I'm so much poorer.

It only required the sacrifice of my lungs, however.

The girls are attractive but also so much more cultivated, encouraging and interesting. The "encouraging" part is significant. If you are a little bit hopeless with women like I was, then coming to Poland will sort you out.

I think the salaries allow you to live a decent life here in the mid-term, it's just that when you reach the point that you have a personal crisis or need to renew a major purchase, you're fucked. I'll be off back to Bongland in such a case.

DO NOT do all four years at the Public university if you know you can transfer from a community college over to the university, youll be saving a shit load of money.

my CC has 7k for 60 credits
my university is 21,000 per year

going all 4 years is 84k
doing 2 years at CC then transfering to finish my last two years will be 49k.

in what way? You'll maintain your friendships all 4 years? When they change careers after 1st year electives?

>>
>>1989024

>already disagreeing with it in my head

Middle class people with college educations are socially very different than blue collar people without college educations. Two extra years of dorm life and becoming orientated with a group of friends going through the same classes and acclimation is important to making the shift.

It's not polite to say this, but it is true.

You find those opportunities through immersion in the same environment and social group.

Hmm, I'm inclined to agree with you there. That is true, but in the end, I wholeheartedly believe if the other anon cannot afford to pay those four years, he should do the CC route. It seems his father will or can not support him, and since I work in the financial aid office, that $5,500 seems to be the public sub loans. I'm under the assumption that $23k might be including room and board. I'd need to check the actual place he plans on studying.

>You find those.....
I can't say I completely agree, but I am willing to understand the point of view. However, the social group is inclined to be created through same classes. Immersion is dependent on the actual anon. I can't assume anything, but if I have to, knowing he browses 4chan, he may be on the more introverted side.

Doesn't help his case. I don't agree that he should continue with this route with the idea of him spending $23k in order to have a test run.

the people I met in my four years at a large mediocre state university were not worth ANYTHING

your "peers" are worthless and the only "networking" you need to do is with your professors, career centers, recruiters, and internship managers
>>
>>1989657

So what I'm hearing is that YOUR peers were worthless and that in that time you didn't associate with any students who went on to do anything of worth or have family connections in any industry at all.

...that reflects on you buddy.

>why can't people make money?
Holy shit what yuppy planet are you from?

Why don't you teach us all how to make passive income and get a job for fucking 50Kin this nightmare world when you have ZERO throw away money and the average bad credit for anyone who attended school or had to go to a hospital ever; tell us all how to throw money at the wall and see if it sticks -- money that could go to paying your rent. And then you'll get rich from teaching.

TELL ME!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

minn wage is a meme and you're only disadvantaging skilless young people and continuing to cripple small businesses. inflation is far more harmful to wageslaves.

"Breaking up" big banks is moronic and unnecessary. repealing dodd-frank, and govt's ability to rescue bad banks would already solve the problem. once they realize they don't have a lifeline they will spend responsibly. this would also require people to actually research a bank before opening an account. glass-steigal won't mean anything unless you take away govt insurance as well.

>public funds mean public schools, charter schools banned
>develop busing programs to eliminate barriers to entry for disadvantaged students
>hold teacher unions and school officials accountable for their actions
>a school going overbudget repeatedly in a 2-3 year timeframe would trigger a state investigation with the worst punishment mean having their accreditation revoked
>raise the minimum requirements for teaching jobs, raise salaries, make teaching one of the most respected positions out there
>private schools still a choice, but would receive no public funding

You're kicking a dead horse. more regulations for an overregulated education system won't fix the problem. Superior schools with superior teaching, provided they meet certain criteria, shouldn't be excluded from state funding. Competition and free choice increases the quality of a product, while lowering its cost.

>increase access to birth control by a billion, teach safe sex practices and family planning
as long as I don't have to fund it. condoms cost pocket change. just remove the age restriction. abstinence has been taught for decades and doesn't work.
>put limits on welfare and actually enforce them
strangers in washington spending other strangers money on other strangers will never spend it as responsibly as you spend your own money. a simple negative income tax would be far more effective as combating poverty.

No you're a spoiled kid who has the world laid out for him on a silver platter. Because of this you look at Upperclass people and think you're poor. Then you look at niggers who spend their money on crap (because they're never going anywhere in life anyway - so fuck it) and then think how smart you are.


Every single thread on chans about financial improvement ends with spoiled kids who grew up knowing nothing else but a safe middle class lifestyle screeching "It's your fault you're not comfy, loser, I'm just smart and better than you!"

Not only are you being dishonest but not everyone wants to work a trade. I get you love being around sweaty men all day and love that your job is very susceptible to economic downturn but I'm just not a fan.

Notice I just did exactly what you did, faggot.
>>
>>1990651
Most people don't even want to work in the field that they're studying. Does working around sweaty men make you uncomfortable faggot? It's like you've never worked a day in your life. Accountants, consultants, people that work in finance etc are walked out the door as soon as a downturn hits. People still need to have faults repaired, they need to have their heating serviced, they need to have their taps fixed.

>Most people don't even want to work in the field that they're studying.

What? Even if that were true, most people are retarded. Doesn't mean you need to be.

>Does working around sweaty men make you uncomfortable faggot?

No, I don't get off on it like you do though.

>People still need to have faults repaired, they need to have their heating serviced, they need to have their taps fixed.

People still need to know their companies books follow regulation, they need to to the project they are undertaking is being managed well, etc etc.

My whole how point was that you are painting something black and white when it's not while also conveniently picking the shittiest road map for finishing a degree. Trades are good work though, but they aren't without their faults as well but you conveniently left those out.

>rationalizing your bitch work job this hard

Nothing wrong with making a living in trades, but people who rag on white collars jobs with incomes several times higher than theirs for half the effort is just sad.
>>
>>1991245
Not as low energy as yours you dumb faggot.
>>
>>1984424
because you're using your own anecdotal assumptions backed by no facts
>>
In this order:

-Education
Adding knowledge allows you to understand the methods behind investing
-income limitations
understanding that you should not exceed your gross income in costs or debt
-rewarding yourself first
will that item you purchase now have a lasting effect on you or is it better to sock it away for your future? Excessive purchases will look a lot different if you view each dollar as something more.
-controlling costs
Do you really need television and big data plans? investigate what you really need when the internet can replace most information networks and newspapers
-multiple revenue streams
the concept of working a job and investing your money is boring, until it starts paying you back

be fiscally responsible and let yourself be paid for it.

Haha, oh wow. Swefag here, I could probably live a normal life if I took a ferry across to Poland and got on some gibs back here (currently only on unemployment, which is real shitty at 4000 sek/$456 or roughly 1764 Zloty). But then I'd be living in Poland so there's that.

You're forgetting the part where inflation eats most of that. 3% is what you should aim just for inflation alone, to not outright lose money.
