Poor and middle class as a mentality

[LUCKMCFLY]

It's not like everyone is given an equal opportunity, people who think like this are privileged and is out of touch on what it's like to be poor, remember that the price of goods and services are increasing and it's not like the salary of poor and middle class workers go up so it seems that they will probably stay that way until a reform happens.

It is very difficult to increase the level of the poor, especially with the pandemic which makes money more difficult and prices of goods continue to increase, I think state policies that can make poor people can change, the main factors are education, job training and business capital that will be able to change.

This pandemic has triggered many things, including for some middle class people they have fallen completely to the lower class, because their jobs were compromised and many companies closed liquidating each worker, this supposes a total failure in the particular economies of many, and Looking for work in a pandemic was not an option, some companies with more economic power have been able to survive by keeping their workers through online platforms, or simply by working from home, however many depidos have been triggered.

Of course some people have been able to take advantage and their status has improved from middle to upper class since they have been able to start businesses taking advantage of their savings, although I know that the percentage is very minimal.

Even myself had really gone down when it comes to financial status since my business was mainly affected and it did really affect my income which in result to hardship.
For mentality aspect then it didnt really bother me much on changing because it was never been a reason for me to change my mindset on being positive and finding ways
or alternatives to find more income or source and this is where mentality do really differ but doesnt mean that it would vary on what financial capacity you do have.
Its on the person on how he handle up himself.

The poor and the rich have different life concepts, different levels of education, and different world outlooks.
The lives of some poor people cannot be imagined by the rich. The poor want to leapfrog classes and get more resources, they have to pay more. This may be a very simple thing for the rich.
The one I saw before:

The first generation works, sells their labour to earn a decent living, and then can afford their children’s most basic education; the second generation, with a basic education, can earn money from business and acquire more wealth to give their children an aristocratic education; The third generation had a higher education, went to work as lawyers and doctors, and became a stable, well-off middle class. From then on the family obtained the qualitative class to span.

If the people in control is always trying to put down the public and then blaming them that it's their fault then the mentality will stay there, they didn't ask for the situation that they were born in and it's not like they're lazy, it's just that no matter how hard they work, the people who make money the most are those at the top.

That's right, some people are poor not because they're lazy but becauuse their governments failed them, they cared more about the things that will increase their influence rather than going to the root of the problem. And to the people that thinks that it's all about mentality, you have never experienced poverty before and how being poor keeps you in that line, you are privileged so you can't speak like they can just do what you're doing.

The main factor to change and rise from poverty is struggle and hard work. Although this is very hard for the poor and takes longer, learning discipline and analyzing the lifestyle of the rich in economic terms is very much needed. Sometimes we have to make a decision that is beyond our capabilities, and we are not even sure about it. But the space and hard work put in will definitely have an impact either directly or indirectly.
A poor man can become rich only if he is willing to try to create his own opportunities.

Working hard obviously does have its benefits, but if someone wants to get out of poverty, then he should be working smartly as well. The problem is that a large fraction of the poor people are OK with the status quo. They work 12-14 hours per day, and supplement their income with government handouts. But they don't realize that if they put some effort in improving their skill set, then their salary may go up by manitimes. And many of the employers also don't want that, since they are afraid of losing cheap labour.

It was being said that poor people become poorer while rich people become richer. The mentality of the people matters in their status of life, like if your rich will simply think that you have to use your money to be richer, while the lower class will be just satisfied with what they've got today and never make a dream to become rich.
It is really hard to reverse the situation but if we wanted to have a change, it must be started by ourselves and with some kind of determination.

On the contrary I don't think poor people are contented with the situation of their finances. They just don't know how to get out of the maze, they work four jobs and still have little or nothing to show for it. Being poor ultimately means a poor education. There aren't many opportunities out there

I was not in general but most of them have no plan at all. Actually, some just did to escape from staying in the lower class of the society but those numbers left are pretty much bigger than those who are able to change. 
But if you are talking about opportunities, there are more opportunities for rich people. That makes poor people become hopeless and just be contented with what they've got.

Poor and rich are social problems that all countries have.  In the book I read entitled "Zakat", it is said that the solution for the poor and the rich is zakat, in the wealth of the rich there is a right for the poor 2.5% of the total because the essence of man was created to be a leader, when he is well off and has wealth.  If there is excess, then look at your family first, when your family is poor, in your property there is the right of your family and it is obligatory for you to give it.  When your family is prosperous then look at your surroundings, if your neighbor is poor, your neighbor has rights in your property and it is obligatory for you to give it.  When is it said that you are obliged to pay zakat for the poor, when your wealth has met the nisab (rules for calculating it), that is, your wealth is equivalent to 85 grams of gold.  With this zakat, wealth will be distributed to the needy according to the proportion so that human life becomes prosperous.

Hmm ... I can only agree that any opinion has a right to exist. But I definitely do not like the essence of it. Please tell me why a person who constantly works, and receives a good reward for it, should share something with someone, especially, probably with someone who, in order to improve his well-being, "does not put a finger on his finger" !? Why should a working person who wants to organize his life have to pay for a comfortable life at his own expense? I understand very well what charity is. But there is no need to pervert the idea of ​​humanity, good deeds, and to form a layer of lazy, stupid, doing nothing people living at someone else's expense. And will we also form a stratum of "slaves" who must work, develop, earn for their family and for a couple of families of such social ballast? Humanity should be logical!

There are 8 categories of people who are entitled to receive zakat from the rich, from those 8 categories, I don't think I will let the lazy wave continue against them.  Poor which is said in zakat is also different from the state version of poor.  Poor in the book of zakat is said when the income is not enough to meet the basic needs of one day, so when you have excess wealth isn't it normal to donate in the form of zakat?

I read about it, found information. I just ask you not to be offended by my answer, tk. what you are proposing is based on religion. So this is not a solution to the problem. Not even partial. Let's take a look at this process from the outside. And we will evaluate it as any process in terms of the result. Despite the fact that in the Muslim world there are a lot of very rich people, the number of the poor is disproportionately higher than if, for example, compare the US or the EU. There is a middle class there, in Muslim countries, with rare exceptions there is almost no middle class. This is an indicator that "fair distribution" does not work, which means that some other principles in the structure of society / state are violated.
Again, in my personal opinion, such one-time "gifts" do not solve the problem at all. As a rule, they go to "grub", and never go to systemic solutions, such as paying for the child's education.

Some people are born rich or moderately rich, some are born middle class and some are born poor or extremely poor. All these conditions come along with a set of survival guides that the parents, relatives and even teachers will pass along as a map of life. For example, in a school of a country that does not give opportunity to its people, where most of the students are poor, it is unlikely that the teachers will induce them to think big or have big dreams...more likely they will aim to keep them apart from drugs, avoid problems with the government and try to imbue some basic skill for life. The ultra-poor do not even get that - which actually may be better.

In a preppy school, where most of the students are rich-born, the conversation is quite different. Culture, life, opportunity, spirit-de-corps and class mentality are imbued in the same manner, so the kids will somehow justify in their minds that they have the right to be rich even if they have not done anything for anyone in their lives - perhaps not even for themselves - because of some Darwinian property of cosmos.

As a result, the poor and even middle class have to jump over one real barrier, their lack of funds, and more importantly, like the Elephant that learns young that he cannot break the chains and never tries again, over their own state of mind, their own prison set by the terms of those who trying to help taught them to avoid anything but doing the same that keeps them poor.

No disrespect to the schools and universities. I am stll thankful for them in teaching the basics such as English, Math, Science, etc., especially in our respective courses during the college days. However, these schools and universities are not teaching us how to become financially literate and become successful in life.

They’re giving us a poor or middle class mindset where I wanna reference Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad book “Study hard, get good grades, when you graduate, get a stable job with benefits until retirement”., in which it’s indeed true. They didn’t teach us how to become successful in life, but instead only taught us some specific skills and working hard to get good grades, but ended up earning less.

I’ve got to be honest with you. Although I’ve graduated under the Bachelor of Science in Commerce, the only skills that I have implemented from college was about management. Until now it’s still helpful for me in my daily life, where I have implemented it right here on the crypto space. I have never ever worked in a full-time physical office job in my entire life, so I am mostly work from home. It also gives us some ways to become as creative as we are in order to become successful later on and making a difference.

"Christmas comes but once a year" This is a familiar saying. Allah is kind to his creature. Allah is always to help, sport and is ready to give blessings. He blesses every one chance to rise and change his destiny. It is a fact that the poor and middle class always make effort to improve their condition. They have the potential and effort to grow & develop. The hustle and bustle in the world are due to the activity of the poor and middle class. Their mentality has good norms and standards.

Contentment does really vary into each person on which they would neither consider or not on making out some changes into their lives.Some wouldnt  really like to stay  on becoming poor and some is just really
contented  on what they do have now.

Its not bad on being contented but you should at least set up goals on making your life even way more better.There's no harm to try to dive in with the opportunities but if you dont like on having
improvements into your life then its your choice.

We do have our own plans and choices in life.
