How do you escape the traps of poverty and achieve financial stability?
Well... a lot of financially self-help content out there doesn't actually teach you how to do that. Instead, it focuses on financial freedom, and is mostly relevant to people who already have disposable income.
In this week's video, I want to address that in-between stage. If you are living in poverty, or simply paycheck-to-paycheck, what can you do to attain financially stability? And then FINALLY be able to take those steps towards building generational wealth like investing.
Today I'll be discussing just that! By going over things like landing entry-level jobs, strategic job hopping to increase your salary and title, and then when to finally make the pivot into entrepreneurship, investing, and/or pursuing executive roles in your industry.

What is the new FLSA exemption law? Who now qualifies for overtime pay and comp time under the new exempt threshold? Starting July 1st, any worker making a salary under $43,888 will be reclassified as a non-exempt worker. And on January 1st, that new threshold will be moved up to $58,656.

Did you know that credit scores started in 1989? Prior to the FICO Score, creditworthiness was determined by credit men.

Watching videos on this topic and others for the past few years and it’s so weird seeing how so many problems we have are interconnected and influencing one another. We have a system and culture at the moment that feels like it’s poison sometimes and we actively avoid trying to take medicine to fix it. This goes for education, health, entertainment, dating, relationships/community building, workforce, and politics/law…
I want to see more Anti-AI schools.
I don't trust people who wave their arms about dramatically like that.
DEI and "diversity" is c.r.a.p. and has to go! And I am Guatemala. That BS helps ONLY CORRUPT LIARS.
At the end of the day, parents want their children to be able to read and write. Which schools are the most successful?
20 companies control 70% of global industrial output. They have turned universities into their HR departments. Now schools are generally controlled by limited corporate interests. Monopoly is the root of most evils. The rest seems to be envy, but that I'd much more individualistic.
Y E S it is
People literally don't believe me when I say I was attacked by a 4 year old, but I was. I understand it sounds unbelievable, but some people have no idea the level of physical capability children have. To be clear though, they do it out of pure emotion, when they're unable to regulate themselves because obviously that part of their brain is still developing. But that's only one reason I quit teaching. Other reasons include the typical parent aggression, admin demands and neglect, assessments, lack of support for ied students, having to pay out of pocket for materials and being pressured to spend more, being underpaid in general, suffocating micromanaging coworkers, and too much focus on academic scores with little attention to social and emotional learning (as much as schools want to teach it, they can't with how high the stakes are for moving grade levels). That being said, I'm still an educator bc I value education itself and its importance. I'm just not a teacher. Teaching is one of the worst professions you can ever get into.
Whats your opinion on computer science? I feel like the degree is a bit overhyped by social media etc. which leads so a massive amount of junior developers on the market. Perhaps electrical engineering would be the better option, as there are quite a few developments in this area (electric cars, charging infrastructure, renewable energy sources, photovoltaics, heat pumps...)
Homeschooling is best due to the wicked indoctrination in public education.
You might not see this but could you give me a basic jest of what you think I should do in my current situation. I’m a 21 year old man, I work a regular 40 hour week, & I want to go to college because it will increase my chances of becoming wealthy. Luckily for me I’m not interested in to many things that historically pay terribly. I’d like to do something with business, I’ve looked into accounting & a few other positions that are “recession proof” The thing is I’m my sole supporter. I live on my own, I do not collect any benefits like food stamps. (I’ve been rejected even when I was being paid 11$ an hour😂) so I will 100% have to continue working while going through college. I’ll likely attend my cities community college, but one of your many points that caught my attention is when you mentioned how important the social dynamics are of attending college. I know I’d greatly benefit from them, I just do not know how to manage socializing with people, working full time & attending college. Going from work to school & making no friends only because of my lack of time would truly suck. & after reading this maybe I don’t need advice, I just wanted to rant.
Everyone is to blame, so no solution I guess??
Why dont Us look how other countries do it?
Schools worried about teaching gender but forgot to teach them to read?? Passing a failing student is not the parent or students fault.
Like myself, my sons continually learn far more of value from informational and educational TH-cam videos then from public school

If you can't Succeed in School! You surely Can't Succeed in the Military!.
Disagree. I was a terrible student, yet I excelled in the Marine Corps. Some people hate classrooms and would rather be hands-on with their work or be in an environment where skills are actually applied.
@@user-wt6uo7ch7i It's different in the Military now. They are Very! Very! strict in 2024. I just watched Three Documentaries on the Military and it has Changed Drastically.
@@gorgeouslady5612 Standards were higher when I was in. Things are way less violent and abusive nowadays.
Im glad you touched on men’s issues in this video. I also don’t want to sound like some redpilled chud, but as a man who struggles with mental health, who’s lack of academic success led him to serving 5 years in the army, and now feels behind in every aspect of life at the age of 26, it’s nice to know that someone cares and that these issues can be discussed without the speaker being Andrew Tate or having our issues shut down by people who don’t think that we matter
Andrew Tate is awesome. ❤
I taught in a rural HS for 30 years. During that time, we had a District Superintendent go to jail for embezzlement, a principal fired under VERY "shady" circumstances. In addition, there were several other district administrators who "resigned" under similar questionable circumstances. Yes, corruption is quite rampant.
There is a guy in the back ground song that’s like doo doo doo doo doo, and he’s very distracting.
When you made it political at the very, very beginning, that's when I turned it off.
Thank you so much for the engagement and helping out the channel! <3 By the way, the overwhelming majority of education in America is run by the government and is therefore political. lol
@@UrgentlyFiring The lack of real education is the laughable part. If kids were taught about economics and history, instead of LGBQT and how to feel, we wouldn't be in this mess. Be informed, not influenced.
This is so true. The only jobs on Indeed etc is the low paid crap which nobody wants. All the good jobs are got through connections.
I intend to homeschool my kids, i’m a biochemistry major and feel I’ll be qualified to teach them mathematics, chemistry, biology, and english. I will also teach them history of course, but I acknowledge i’d be less capable of teaching that subject. Regardless I intend to read more about history and have them read books about it. Any gaps in my knowledge will be filled. I intend on having standardized exams and review sessions especially for english and mathematics. Homeschooling should be regulated. Parents should have to have curriculums, and prove that their students are being educated. I know that homeschoolers are required to send some homework but it should be frequent and rigorous.
I’m neutral and I blame everyone. Ok.
I've been teaching for two decades, and there really has been a constant shift to the left in public education. It has had horrible consequences on the system.
That job you interviewed for was probably a job in sales, possibly a multi level marketing (MLM) company. Salary sounds too good to be true and they were too quick to hire. Big red flag it’s sales, all commission work. MLMs often disguise their jobs for what they are and promote huge $$$ that never materializes. Btw, I would love to see this same experiment done in 2024 job market.
You must be from Vegas. Even with living in Henderson and going to Coronado High School, I was not ready for a 4 year university. I was suffering from adhd and as a little black girl, none of my teachers told my mom that. It was like they just didn’t care. I graduated in 2003. I was the first graduating class. I didn’t figure out that I should’ve majored in business til I was in 12th grade. No one talked to me about my interests and what I needed to do to get there. All they knew was that I was not great in math. The education system is still bad. My mom graduated from UNLV. It’s not updated because she took one of the classes I am taking now. She graduated in 2001. Pay has to balance out between males and females. Those social issues will never go away. White people still dominate the population. They still increase costs on black kids to go to college. Read Principles of Economics. There’s a chapter in there about price discrimination. The longer people of color and black people are charged higher rates to go to college, it will not change.
I think you’re referring to me
Great video. I really like how direct and to the point you. My job is ending in a few weeks and like a lot of out of work Job seekers, I don’t want to waste money on a LinkedIn premium if it’s not worth it.
Wow as ßomeone who has consumed , been obsessed with , (circa 2020 17 yrs old lol) and then finally got over and realzied the charlatan behavior , thankfully i wasnt working and didnt throw money at the lies like unfortunate people have. Even after all these realizations the principle of the matter which is they dont acknowledge the gap between poor and freedom which is STABILITY, they assume the people watching have no stability and are in the dark, the fact that ive never seen a real estate or stock or whole sale person or mlm talking about stable people is becayse they are literally preying on the weak amd poor and desperate to make the quikest cash, after this you have to realize it isnt lazy or misled intentioned content it is PURPOSFULLY EVIL content

How old were you when you learned Halloween isn't a federal holiday? lol
I don't know if you meant the "corruption to help the football team" line as a joke, but that is exactly what happened to a school in my district. It was the "rich" school on the other side of town that we were rivals with because we hated how they would throw money at any problem. Well, turns out, that included the football team. They paid a college football player to be their quarterback. The fallout when that came to light was epic. The coach, the principal, and all three vice principals were fired!
I wonder if, for people who have salaries just below this new threshold, they will get a raise to bring their salary high enough to qualify for exempt status. If so, then they probably would have made more money keeping their existing salary, but getting paid overtime. Also, I think some people will lose their job because of this. If an office has an employee that will no longer be counted as exempt, it might be more cost effective to simply fire that employee and make the other exempt employees have an increase work load.
The time is near when children will go to public schools to a classroom with teachers teaching from a big screen and monitors monitoring the classrooms. Parents will have to pay for a quality education. PREPARE…..WINTER IS COMING!
You’re off to a great start!

Is this the TH-cam accent?
It is! I'm actually British but there's something about the camera that warps you into a southwestern American.
An authentic TH-cam accent is about 3.5 times faster. Think of an auctioneer.
@@chrishagins3309 Oh god is this some sort of meme I need to be aware of?
This video actually feels like a more reasonable set of ideas especially as a poor
there are plenty of alternative certification paths that cut short the time a specialist may need to switch to teaching. Many districts will accept a test score and an agreement to continue certification after hiring. Its very very easy to switch to teaching a subject in which you have collegiate or professional experience.
I'm not to blame for any of this....I just exist.
The Fordham Institute is a conservative ideological think-tank centered on education policy. It's no wonder they would be opposed to teacher's unions: conservatives hate organized workers. Teachers unions have been a staple for protecting the rights, protections, and pay of teachers. Just look at states WITH teachers unions versus those without. States with teachers unions rate HIGHER in education metrics, teacher pay, and teacher well-being. I wouldn't trust anything coming out of the Fordham Institute.
I've had 3 major completely different experiences of school(and a few minor but i was too young to remember it well) Absolutely awful experience of normal town school in Ukraine with yelling teachers, uncomfortable groups, absolutely horrible way of learning where nobody cared and nobody tried to make us care. I hated it, i hate it, i genuinely think it made me a worse person. Then covid hit, partical virtual education was meh and my family decided to swich me to ukrainian e-school. At this point (8th grade) i already knew what direction i want to move in and i didn't have many irl connections. So i invested my time into learning art and passing online courses with mentorship and really enjoyed it. Looking back i see how lack of irl contact impacted me but at the same time ehhhhhhh it is alright i didn't feel lonely because of online friends and my area didn't have many people with similar interests Then i moved to Canada, 2022 happened, and went to canadian secondary school for gr11(also finishing ukr school at the same time) and gr12. And it was so awesome, so enjoyable, so welcoming and interesting! No physics or chemistry, no history, geography, all of that. I was learning what i was interested in with a few classes i had to take sprinkled in, but even they were pretty good! And most importantly - no mega-super-important exams that decide your life! Students, teachers and staff were incredible and i am super happy that this was my form of adaptation in new country and in society overall. I experienced real life friendship for the first time in 5-7 years and i am only 18! Now i am excited for the start of my university life and i hope it won't be a rip-off lol
