Something like the 80/20 rule?

>>10797410
only 1 in every 20 people will be millionaires in the usa
probably lower in other places

If you're born into the slave caste you've already lost. It takes generations to build up wealth barring a few individuals who get lucky

Because they choose the blue pill and want to have ((career)), you know anon, one day maybe YOU will sit right there, in that office... Who knows!

>>10797429
That's pretty fucken good if you ask me
if the rest of the wealth were evenly distributed at that kind of scale, I think we'd have a truly great society

>>10797282
If you're born poor you will likely be raised to have a poor persons mindset

>>10797524
you need people to be poor so the 1 in 20 thing can happen

The want to feel included into mainstream society. How often do you hear a normie make an "The Office" reference? If you enjoy and relate to that show you have been sucked into the cuck life forever

aye this
it's all the things that "people don't seem to tell you"
poor people do all kinds of unproductive things to eachother, like putting some family get-together over studying for an important test or asking for financial help whenever one member of the clan comes into some wealth

there are similar things middle class people do too, and a lot of them have to do with thinking the world and society is a box inside of which things work, rather than a freefloating set of rules and consequences

>>10797558
zero-sum nonsense
it's all in the distribution of wealth and how whatever economic system you're using ends up doling it out
by the way I wasn't implying that everyone should be millionaires, I was saying that if 1/20 are millionaires, then another 1/20 should be proportionately destitute, asf.

Because they are stuck in the slave mentality and will continue to rent themselves to their masters accepting laughable compensation for security and comfort.

Wagecucking is no different from slavery, under certain employment contracts. The only difference is renting yourself instead of selling yourself, which is a topic of financing rather than ownership.

For example, you can rent a house or buy one and rent it to yourself. Either way it belongs to the bank unless you fulfill your obligations (same as a slave buying himself out of freedom back in the day).

The number one reason in my opinion is a combination of two factors 1) it's incredibly difficult not only because of the skills and knowledge that are typically necessary, but also because "experiment, failure, feedback, correction, experiment" is a psychologically and potentially financially taxing process
and 2) misery loves company. This is a deadly cocktail. I'm not even kidding when I say unless you are surrounded by entrepreneurial or otherwise financially independent people, almost no one in your life wants you to succeed. Your successes make them look dumb and your failures make them look smart. As you succeed they will try to dissuade you from continuing. Women in your life will, family will, friends will, family of women and friends will, and they'll do it in ways you might not even be aware of at first. As you fail, they will multiply the psychological stress of that failure and try to make you give up.

Everyone will try to influence you and have an opinion, but they won't take any consequences for the downside of following their opinion. Some opinions might be valuable, but they'll be so clouded by all the bullshit as to be impossible to really utilize. When you are objectively and undeniably successful, everyone acts like their opposition to you was just a big joke and you should totally welcome them into your inner circle and take them on trips, etc. In order to be successful at the things that will give you financial freedom, unless luck is really on your side, you sort of have to become a dick and get really good at managing the people in your life. A hyper-focused, hyper-disciplined, hyper-efficient, dick. Most people just don't have the stomach to transition into the person they need to be to achieve the goals they desire. Other than that, it's all a big game of trial, error, learning from mistakes, and repetition and almost anyone could find something to make big money off of.

out of servitude**

Some once told me that poor people are largely interested in consumption and direct pleasure like sex, clothes, & food because the attitude is “take what you can when you can”.

Middle-class people are obsessed with safety and security. They’re one missed paycheck from dying of cancer on the street, so they hate rocking the boat. Study hard like a good goy in school, put yourself into debt, get married, get a mortgage on a rapidly depreciating property, have 2.5 kids, never risk anything, work a 9-5 for 50-60 years with your little 401k, dodge Mr. Shekelstein when he’s angry, ask Massa for a raise occasionally, retire, and enjoy your couple hundred thousand as a dried up nutsack after wasting easily 70% of your life slaving away for Schlomo.

Upper class people are daring and seek out something bigger than themselves. They have little to fear, and much to gain. Rich people understand that the best way to live life is to make others do things for you, acquire things that spit out more money for you, and increasing your underlying value as a single person. Becoming the type of person who asks others what they can do for him rather than vice versa.

Ramming Speed!!

someone once said that "the poor people are only really let to be there to scare the middle class"

indeed, that thing that everyone but the rich seem to think is that life and society are already built and abide certain laws which one simply has to either follow or find some cheap way around
Like if you've ever had one of your poor, dumb, trashy coworkers at a wagecuck job tell you about some brilliant scheme they're trying to do like buying shit from an auction and reselling it.
Their ideas that are actually even a little bit self-starting always have a gamey feel to them, trying to get around the System which doesn't exist which they're always trying to do.

Everything is a timely contract, there is no such thing as a permanent job nor should there be.

Here's a nice gay synopsis of this idea:

Ironically the normies spout this kind of shit all the time, sometimes even understand it, but don't do anything with it


..... or they do, and become worthless hippies.
