How are they even supposed to find those sites in the first place? By googling randomly and trying separate those two sites from the thousands of "get rich quick" scam links and malware sites?
>>
>>69800060
By turning your minuscule brain on

It's the age of information. This info is not hidden or hard to find. There's so many free resources. Khanacademy and Investopedia has tons of advertising.

If you can't use your 80iq brain to navigate to these websites and read information broken down to the level of a teenager, maybe they deserve to be poor. Maybe some people deserve to be rich and smart and some remain poor and dumb.

So they are supposed to find them by clicking some sketchy ad (but not any ad, or they'll get scammed).

It's obvious that finding the required knowledge requires some degree of apriori knowledge of how filter out the irrelevant information.

Okay dude

How is it a sketchy site when it's a registered, non-profit website partnered with many educational institutions?

>you need certain knowledge to find free websites filled with information
How retarded are the people you're describing? If they're that stupid maybe they need their caretaker to help them.
>>
>>69800311
Let's look at the path you've laid.
First, the people must understand how to use the internet, and have access to it. Then they must pursue knowledge, but not the wrong type or they'll be scammed or misinformed. Then they need to apply that information to their lives on a practical level.
This is assuming that Investopedia and Khan Academy alone are adequate.

>>69800482
Quit treating the working class like they're intellectually on par with fetuses equipped with Downs syndrome. It really is not a hard task to acquire trustworthy information in this day and age

it isn't about the lack of knowledge
you have to understand them in order to understand their habits and lives not say they don't do what you do because they don't know better
this is how you have a huge division of the classes of people and how you have a huge percentage of people that is changing the way banks operate

why are they willing to pay a fee so large that they could do it for free at a bank, ie, getting their cash or their checks?
and no it isn't they don't know better

>>69800482
But okay Mr. Swede.

You've made a very astute point. Perhaps it truly IS difficult to find this information, let's test if you're correct.

I will search a few personal-finance related questions that are at the top of any financially illiterate person's mind. Let's see how many of the top results are TRULY malware and ad-filled.
>>
>>69800060
>>69800482
Let's start.

"How to create a monthly budget?"

Monthly budgets are the bread and butter of personal finance, arguably the most important. In order to track income and expenses and see where money is going!

Here's the results of my google search I just did a few seconds ago. (pic related).

The first 5 results are from non-virus nor scam websites.

Next question.

"How does credit card debt work?"

Pic related, the first 7 results are not viruses nor scams, nor anything else unsavory.
>>
>>69800569

>>
>>69800598
But better education obviously makes you more fit for making financial decisions. Being indifferent towards the plight of the working class because you "respect their ability to make choices", even if they constantly make choices that misgovern them, is just a bullshit liberal defence of "freedom of choice".
>>
>>69800060
>>69800482

"What is an amortization period for mortgages?"

First few links are literally from the government of Canada owned websites and banks.

None of them are scams nor malware.

>>69797753

>>
>>69801099

>>69801076
Mr. Swede

It appears as though upon simply googling the questions you get tons of websites that explain in-depth, for free how personal finance works.

Can you really claim it's a problem of lack of education then? Or rather of simply being too lazy/ignorant to google a simple search query?
>>
>>69801099
>>69801055
>>69800993
Your search results are largely determined by your search history.

What you usually google, too, varies according to class background, which in turn affects your search results.
>>
>>69801126
For example

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/retirement/retire-planning/many-canadians-entering-retirement-with-inadequate-savings-study-says/article28761394/
>Half of Canadian couples between 55 and 64 have no employer pension between them, and of those, less than 20 per cent of middle-income families have saved enough to adequately supplement government benefits and the Canada/Quebec Pension Plan, says the report, to be released Tuesday by the Broadbent Institute.

It would appear then that no matter how much you try to help them, it will not work.

I guess you could add a mandatory highschool class, but I have a feeling Cleetus and Jamarius will just sleep through it. Much like with basic mathematics (It is said that the average American adult struggles with highschool-tier math)

>>69801269
I'm just refuting what the Swede has claimed about it being difficult to find these websites.

I have googled these popular personal finance questions and have not stumbled on a scam or malware site within the first 10 results yet.

>>69801309
CAN It be fixed?

Should we simply let people fail, or further expend resources when they do not care?
>>
>>69801318
>That's exactly what is needed.

But we have this with other highschool classes.

In my highschool we learned about making resumes, basic personal finance, applying to jobs, etc. The people who didn't give a shit, as usual just sailed through and did what they needed to pass.

The people who DID care would have just googled this and found it all out on their own.

You can add as many classes as you want but you're not addressing the fundamental issue. The issue IS NOT lack of information, it's lack of interest. Information is plentiful, as I have just demonstrated. What's lacking is people being interested in this.
>>
>>69801325
>CAN it be fixed?
How the hell should I know?
>>
>>69801318
And besides, can't you just see you keep making excuses?

You're doing everything to make these poor, innocent victims of capitalism not responsible for their choices.

First it was:
>They can't find the information on their own!!!
"Actually they can, you can google search these queries"
>All the websites are filled with malware and scams
"Okay let's test that, hmm seems they aren't."
Now you're claiming my fucking browser search history generated these results. Yet my cookies and history was cleared. (I'm willing to search with multiple search engines and browsers if you want me to, but I think that's a little useless when we both know the results)

People just don't care. They deserve to be poor, and some deserve to be rich. That's how it is, we're not equal.
>>
>>69801236
In my opinion, Americans need to learn how to live within their means. Too many people buy things they can't afford and take out loans that they can't pay back. No one will learn unwillingly, but luckily we do live in an age of information where anyone from any socioeconomic class has access to information that can teach them to manage their finances. People born into a poor families now have the ability to mold their own future. We truly live in great times.

It's just like with obesity being a problem in the US. EVERYONE Knows how to not be a fatfuck, but no one actually cares about it.

Because people 30+ had been fed the lie that hard work would make them set for life, when all it has done for them is force them to live paycheck to paycheck.

It's not just hard work, you have to be intelligent about it, and education fucked up several generations so now you have people 30-55 who don't know shit about finance.

Another reason is because local business owners like to keep startups from reaching anywhere if they present any sort of competition.
Welcome to American style "capitalism".

Good job then, pointing out the sites that you can finally get to, to people that may or may not have actually been shown how2filter.

People need to know the good stuff is out there in the first place, before they can be arsed to go and look. Holding out pre-filtered results therefore needs to be done saying "it's out there, this is what it looks like" rather than "you're a retard for not already knowing this before you were even born, now go back to the ghetto where you belong and don't ever even try to leave".

Context: House which cost 1 million 15 years ago is now worth 3 million. Many properties which are just 5 bedroom houses are worth 10 million, bigger ones go up to 25-30 million
He also has a property empire throughout the country part of a really big real estate company which also helps buy/sell for other people, called Grovensor, one of the big dozen retail agencies here

This is, in detail, the British class system:


Lower Working class
-ironically named as they do not work
Worst people in society

Middle Working Class
unskilled or unprofitable skills but do work- cleaners, caretakers, receptionists, cashiers, carpenters in some places
Used to be miners and factory workers as well but...

Upper Working Class
Some skill- low end tradesmen, builders, factory workers(most current ones are a bit more technical) , retail, delivery drivers, mailmen

sometimes they are shoehorned into higher end jobs but they never lose their ways- socially they dont move further than lower middle even if they become rich

Lower middle- often services and are trashy as well, often buy things they cant afford to flash on social media, they are the ones who are "sales managers" in chain-shops, tradesmen, train drivers, bar staff.other boring things

middle middle have low paying jobs which require some competency, are usually boring and mainstream people-
most civil servants, low end accountancy and admin postions, clerk or librarian,
chef or waiter in a good restaurant,
shop manager, own their own small shop, technical professions-well qualified tradesman who has his own business, engineers,pilots, pharmacists, hospital staff
most teachers
most university professors
sometimes are good, sometimes are like lower-middle

Upper Middle-
Some pilots
Bankers
Lawyers
doctors
higher end engineers ,admin and accountants
Business owners
Architects
Private School teachers
High ranking Army Officers and Civil servants
Rich university professors in good Unis

Lower Upper
Usually same jobs as upper middle, intermingling and overlapping with upper middle but usually have more inherited land and houses and go shooting more

Middle Upper
Large landowners and CEOs
If they choose to have jobs its usually mostly same as upper middle

Upper Upper
Royalty , Dukes and Earls

If they choose to have jobs its usually mostly same as upper-middle

Because the financial instruments you're talking about either didn't exist until WW2, or didn't exist as far as 99.99999% of the human race was concerned. "I mean, why haven't we all figured out a cure for cancer by now?"

>>69804787
>having a hold of your finances is a "meaningless challenge"
>>
>>69804587
Yes, why would it be different?
The job differentiations are the big ones but social tastes are also important and distinguishing, we are able to tell what class someone is in very easily.
You can just tell what class someone is just by speaking to them for a minute or what they watch, what sports they like, what they do in their free time, how they dress, how the speak etc.

The differentiations are murky in some places/ professions but usually you can tell, difference between upper lower and lower middle is the hardest one to tell apart really.

I just don't know. I want to be rich but I'm not sure if I can get there without taking on massive risk.

I don't want to be a pessimist but there's few ways to be worth $10million+ by age 50 starting from little.

I used to think a million was a lot but it's fucking nothing these days, I realize now why people say wealth is built over generations.

>>69805271

not the nobility side>>69805325 anything is possible

You are only descended from slavs? Which slavs? A lot of slavs were nobility at some point, idk if you can find a coat of arms but you may

Lolno

And stop pretending Canada has a class system like the UK, or even America. If there's one common theme amongst Brits who have immigrated here, it's been their relief, shock, or dissapointment, with the total lack of an established class system in Canada.

The Irving's owns New Brunswick as sure as the Queen, and Nick Ganong's family have employed 50% of my town for a century, but they eat in the same restraunts as me, sit in the same seats at the hockey rink, and go on holiday to the same Cuban Island every winter, and I'm just a fisherman. The only difference is that they can eat out more often, buy season tickets, and stay at the resort for longer. Don't confuse income brackets with a class system.

>>69805328
Hard to be rich, possible to be comfortably well off- need to set up your own business
>>
>>69805436
Upper class is often nobility- stupid meme
Working class -well- they arent like that, they drive vans and swear at people


You really do not have a class system? I find this hard to believe
>>
>>69805462
But I don't want to be comfortable - I Already am.

But I want it all, just like the song by Queen.

And rich is $10million+.

You're right though. No one is going to do it for me so I better get going and pick up the slack.

You might be middle-middle or upper middle then, to be rude, how were you educated and how rich are you?

>>69805506
We really do not have a class system in the way the UK does. It seems to be the biggest difference between us (also like 10 million Frenchmen).
We have income disparity obviously, but not class. There is socially no difference between a pogey bum, a carpenter, a banker, and an old money family.

There must be differences in tastes, social circles and interests, especially between a carpenter and an old money family


>>69805637
Yes, my job prospect after uni is 250,000 a year after 3 years, starting at about 60,000

Have a lot of family so dont stand to inherit too much but parents have £4 million in property, grandparents on both sides have multi million houses as well

All about connections to be brutally honest, thats how class system is maintained
Possible with hard work though
>>
>>69805949
You're right

I did a fair bit of networking but looking back I definitely should have done more. well hindsight is 20-20
>>
>>69805990
In Britain these connections are made socially, in schools, universities and clubs
>>
>>69805756
Social circles might be somewhat different, but that has little to do with money and nothing to do with class.
Especially in the old Anglo parts of Canada, out east, you can see a 200 year old elaborate mansion on the same street as a government owned house for people on the dole.
Nick Ganong's family are ultra rich, have been for over a century, they own the factory that employs most of my town, he went to the same public school I did just a few years before me. People generally have the same interests, hunting, fishing, sports, kayaking, camping, going to the theatre, etc.
There is definitely rich, poor, and middle classes, but no sense of rank or superiority between them.
A good example is the Pelee Island plane crash. 6 friends died after their annual hunting trip, they had been meeting to pheasant hunt for years, they ranged from an unemployed poor guy to tradesmen, up to a renowned heart surgeon. It's not at all weird for these groups to hang out together here.
>>
>>69806028
Same everywhere I think

I feel as though I should've went to more networking events. Or at least been president of a couple of clubs.
>>
>>69805898

>Big 4

Haha, business school cattle. Feel bad for you desu. Enjoy the slave labor. I'm sure you worked really hard for the privilege :)
>>
>>69806094
fucking weird, different classes dont have different behaviour there? Or are things so spread out and towns so small that this is put down to individual personality?


(Your hunting sounds nice though, fancy a trip in a few years?)
>>
>>69806140
Lol it's not that bad

I'm only using it as a stepping stone.
>>
>>69806106
Yeah, hindsight etc etc

pic related lower middle class
>>
>>69806188
As far as normie behavior there is little to no difference. A rich family might be underway in their sailboat with custom teak decks and a poor family their used bayliner runabout, but they are both going to the same place to catch the same fish and will share a beer at the same seaside restraunt swaping stories afterwards.

I also really want to go hunting in the UK, and salmon fishing in Scotland. I'd like a traditional English foxhunt tbqh (the kind where the dogs flush a fox and you chase it, not the kind where the dogs just rip a fox apart, that doesn't seem very sporting)
>>
>>69806252
Disgusting creatures
>>
>>69806215

I guess that's fine as long as you get out. There's a reason they plug those jobs so hard on college campuses. Not sure gown you're going to stepping stone accountancy tho. It sort of is what it is.
>>
>>69806313
Even if both went to the same place, the rich family would probably say a cordial hello then keep to themselves, might talk to them but this would only be there
>>
>>69806356
ikr people have a go at us for being classist but they dont realise the absolute state of the lower classes

>>69806313
they actually look different though such as in >>69806252
>>
>>69806383
I'm sure this happens in parts of Canada (Montréal's Westmount area has a reputation for it) but that would be considered snobbery and no one from any income bracket likes a snob.
As I said, this is among normies, no one of any income level wants to talk to the guy with a mullet and a pot leaf belt buckle screaming at his 3 kids while cashing a welfare cheque in the grocery store but it is normal for a doctor or business owner and a fisherman or logger to be friends, and we all frequent the same areas.
>>
>>69806550
It seems everyone there does and likes the same things?
>>
>>69806427
Look different than what? Eachother? Unless there is something glaringly obvious, like someone wearing a suit next to someone in rags, there is no noticeable difference, and that's worldwide, not just in Canada.
The only difference looks wise between Her Majesty and Prince Philip and my grandpatents, is that my grandad has slighty better teeth than the Duke of Edinburgh.

Looks different between classes, at least to us

Body languages, clothes, grooming, behaviour


A british person could tell from that picture what class they were
The way they are reacting
What is happening
The way they are dressed and groomed
Their faces

All go together to give an indicatiion
>>
>>69806686
That's mostly universal, the difference between here and the UK, is that they do them together often and at the same places with no hint of a divide.
>>
>>69806816
Universal?
Here different classes have different tastes and like different things and doing different things

I thought canada was more like us and i wouldnt need to explain like this
Lurk on the british general and you will probably understand eventually the sort of class stereotypes which exist

Not here (again so long as it's normie behavior) obviously normal people don't generally scream in the middle of the street, whether working class or upper class. If you told me they were rich I would assume the girl on the left was wearing a tailored vera wang dress, if you told me they were poor a rented dress from the mall for a school ball.

Remember the infamous Toronto Mayor Rob Ford? He was from recent English immigrants, and old, well connected money (his father's business made over $100 million annually and he was a legislator). In the end the old money, establishment, mayor of the largest city in Canada, was a poorly dressed, greasy, morbidly obese, clown, with a "just fuck my shit up" haircut and a habit of smoking crack from street dealers while in office.
>>
>>69807057
Rob ford was a bit of an odd character

Really made me think. How little self-respect must a man have to be what he was? Truly disgusting, and not in a liberal sense or any of his politics - which I hear he was very pleasant in regards to.

>Fat
>Sloppily dressed

>>69806960
you posted this on /brit as well
and yes


>>69807057
Its just subtle differences in choice of clothes and style, grooming, face and behaviour-different classes react to things slightly differently, hold different opinions and make different decisions. its all very subtle and you have to be tuned in to see it.
Its weird but if you have two men in suits you can just tell which one is lower middle and which one is upper middle, it will be their choice of colours and style and face/grooming to a degree
The faces vary slightly around the brow/eyes/nose usually, very hard to explain things so subtle

>>69807097
sounds like an oddball, an exception
>>
>>69802940
>jew scam
Well, it is, but that doesn't mean a degree is necessarily worthless.
