I grew up rich and I respect it as much, if one thing I am scared of money. It brings the worse in people, it ruins lives. Money is important until you can afford your medical bills, a decent home, food and good life. After that, it's poison.
Agree with @kuhaku. Nouveau riche are often less respectfully of money than old money, because old money has seen the fakeness, the conflicts and heartbreaks it can bring. Also the urge/longing to "buy it because u couldn't before" like a revenge, simply isn't there.
I am fortunate I made productive decisions that changed my finances (gathered over 1M in 2years) through my financiaI planner. Got my 2nd house in Feb, and hoping to retire soon. Give this a try and attain good-returns.
Classic Michael Irvin quote said the same thing. "Money doesn't give you anything, it just makes you more of what you already are. If you're already an asshole? Money just makes you a bigger asshole."
I agree with the revealing part, but I'd still say that change will happen over time. Human nature is a thing, and different people have different personalities, but they will always change and develop from the environments they live in-even if in different ways.

Humble people will be always humble at heart. Money won't let this people dismissed his essence and authenticity. People like him is hard to find. His daughter is a proof of his parenting skills.
People like him, like me, like us that know poverty and/or deep debts... when we come back from that, dude, it's so powerful. You never see money the same and when healed, yes, our great grandkids will tell the stories :)
@@fitchner9406 I've witness this in our local families as well. the father/mother works had to be rich. The kids try to be frugal. The grandchildren's became spoiled, wasteful and ends up poor. Its a very sad cycle. I hope his grandkids wise up when cashing out those royalties in the future.
It's not necessarily humility, it's the FEAR of going broke that never leaves you when you grow up poor. Doesn't matter how rich you become later in life
When you used to be poor and you've worked your way up you know the value of money. Someone who's just been given everything without having to work for it does not know the value.
That’s unfortunately a paradigm issue. It’s like you’re chained in a prison without even knowing it, even if you have all the money in the world. It’s a shame really. Life is short to be living in that state of mind. You have to work hard on the mind to change it. Money won’t change it.
That's because you never stopped being poor mentally and spiritually speaking. People who became rich and got there through effort realize at some point that that much money is meaningless, as long as you have a house, food and you're doing what you love, that's true fortune, no watches or clothes or any of that nonsense. Being poor is a scarcity mentality, being rich is being grateful and thankful for what you have and making the best out of it.

Frugality is the best protection against going broke. You can be humble by just not talking about the amount of money you make/ spend. Not spending the money is how you stay rich
I dont even think he knows it. When you grow up dirt poor and you have trauma you do not ever feel wealthy. You never had the chance to ask for things and status symbols mean nothing to other poor people. I make good money now but grew up broke and if I didn't have a fiance I'd have a fold out table as a TV stand and a 400 dollar couch in a studio apartment lol. I don't like luxury items or the "finer" things. This is the only true thing I've seen these wealth channels post. Luxury exists to keep you poor. Treat yourself by spending time not money.
“Rich people stay rich by living like they’re broke” Luxury brands were literally created so that the semi wealthy could waste their spare income to seem even wealthier, they feed off people’s fragile egos.
selling demons in his music for fame. everything that's worth anything to him is short lived, meaningless. Sometimes the pride is in your choice to look at yourself so much in the mirror.
Thanks Eminem. If I hadn't stuck your songs on and sung them out, fuck knows what else I would have done as a kid. From a kid that's now an adult whose dad's heart broke from his ex preventing me seeing him. I know my dad can't listen to your old songs anymore without it taking him back to those times.
He seems very down-to-earth. I like it. Walsys liked his music even though I'm not very much into this genre and prefer heavy music. But there was something about it. Now it seems like there is more to him than meets the eye. That's interesting.
he says but this is a kid who just was godlike talent and picked up by a producer . So he made it from trailerpark to Hollywood boulevard. So no - that just his normal spending curve that hasn't been changed yet.
The question is, what's the point of all that accumulated wealth if you're not spending it? The Egyptian Pharaos proved one thing: We don't take our belongings with us to the afterlife. All the time and effort put into accumulating wealth is just wasted time and energy if you're not spending it (Artists like Eminem are maybe an exception because they follow their passion and just happen to make money with it, but I highly doubt that Jeff Bezos founded Amazon with any other intention than making money).
I mean that would be true if there weren’t also businesses that literally got wealthier by investing in and putting out advanced and competitive products
As someone who worked in a bank... A lot of people who "look rich" usually have no money...because they waste it trying to look rich...people who look poor usually have much more money because they don't waste it trying to look rich. 😉
I really respect him for this. Most rappers as soon as they sell 10 albums they’re out shopping for a 10 cars and a mansion with a big gate to keep their family out
It's because most rappers are black, and most black people have a chip on their shoulder and are slaves to materialism. Not to say there aren't white people out there who do the same, but it's super common with black people.
"I know the story" best line ever because one thing I've noticed is that celebs really like hearing or telling their own stories but Eminem "shutting" him down like this "boy, I know the story, I was there, I lived it, no need to hear it" 🙌🏼
Man I come from poverty and make good money now, my wife comes from a rich family and blows through all my money and doesn’t understand why I care so much.. I rarely spend on myself
And the difference is clearly visible in todays artists. Whether pop artists or social media influencers. 99% of them just show off expensive stuff while lot of them are ungrateful. Cause they never had to struggle for day to day life. While celebs like eminem earned their way to top with real and raw talent.
He doesn't need to be flashy because his talent speaks for itself. Em is a class act, and his daughters will never have to worry about money a day in their lives - which is all that he cares about. Good for him!
That's why you got a whole bunch of kids running around acting ungrateful and don't know the value of dollar..... Because parents did everything for them..... That's how true rich sn0bs are born

Money gives possibilities,you can realize what you'll want's,I don't care much about money bcs I have everything I needs, Lp's, Cd's,Books,a mountain of Interior Magazines, furnitures that I likes,I don't likes to travel and what I could spend money on is Perfume's and to eats dinner out sometimes.

Then they will be poor again.

@@fitchner9406 I've witness this in our local families as well. the father/mother works had to be rich. The kids try to be frugal. The grandchildren's became spoiled, wasteful and ends up poor. Its a very sad cycle. I hope his grandkids wise up when cashing out those royalties in the future.
By that point they just squander the money because they are spoiled and don't work to keep it.
Nothing beats a good ole CASIO G-SHOCK ❤
I really respect that man for his attitude and that he has not become a sort of ,,Money craziness,, like others would be
It's not necessarily humility, it's the FEAR of going broke that never leaves you when you grow up poor. Doesn't matter how rich you become later in life
Truth
What non sense😂😂😂 just don't write random bullshyt man
Dear well meaning Sir, I believe it HAS to be a bit of both. Thank you
Yes, when you've lost everything, and know how that feels, the fear never leaves you...
Not necessarily. There are people who fear feeling poor again, so they spend extravagantly, even if they're breaking the bank. It's a disease

Gotta love em, he's humble and takes nothing for granted. 😊
That's the reason why I like Eminem, he never forgot his humble beginnings
Or common sense
Yeah, we're practically besties.
His brand is literally built on it. He has to keep portraying himself that way even if it's not actually true.
He's also a supporter of a 2 tier society now that he and his are on the elite side
He never forgot about Dre either
When you used to be poor once again being poor is one of your biggest fears
When you used to be poor and you've worked your way up you know the value of money. Someone who's just been given everything without having to work for it does not know the value.
That’s unfortunately a paradigm issue. It’s like you’re chained in a prison without even knowing it, even if you have all the money in the world. It’s a shame really. Life is short to be living in that state of mind. You have to work hard on the mind to change it. Money won’t change it.
That's because you never stopped being poor mentally and spiritually speaking. People who became rich and got there through effort realize at some point that that much money is meaningless, as long as you have a house, food and you're doing what you love, that's true fortune, no watches or clothes or any of that nonsense.
Being poor is a scarcity mentality, being rich is being grateful and thankful for what you have and making the best out of it.
Yup. It's very hard to believe that we somehow now deserve it.
You still have scarcity mind..
The OOOOOOOOOO's for that Rolex was brand new to Eminem like a bag of new Funyuns.

I truly agree. Very well said.
Frugality is the best protection against going broke. You can be humble by just not talking about the amount of money you make/ spend.
Not spending the money is how you stay rich
I dont even think he knows it. When you grow up dirt poor and you have trauma you do not ever feel wealthy. You never had the chance to ask for things and status symbols mean nothing to other poor people. I make good money now but grew up broke and if I didn't have a fiance I'd have a fold out table as a TV stand and a 400 dollar couch in a studio apartment lol. I don't like luxury items or the "finer" things. This is the only true thing I've seen these wealth channels post. Luxury exists to keep you poor. Treat yourself by spending time not money.

Thanks Eminem. If I hadn't stuck your songs on and sung them out, fuck knows what else I would have done as a kid. From a kid that's now an adult whose dad's heart broke from his ex preventing me seeing him. I know my dad can't listen to your old songs anymore without it taking him back to those times.
And he’s wearing a Gshock? I love this man. How are people gonna make fun of someone for being financially cautious?
These words will never let you be broke.

“A man does not accumulate wealth by busying himself with spending it.” - Arthur Curtiss James
''nothing better than being the richest corpse at the cemetary''- (Sun Tzu)

So no - that just his normal spending curve that hasn't been changed yet.
@@paradiseonheaven yup i can,t imagine ''faustian contracts'' being involved😶
The question is, what's the point of all that accumulated wealth if you're not spending it? The Egyptian Pharaos proved one thing: We don't take our belongings with us to the afterlife. All the time and effort put into accumulating wealth is just wasted time and energy if you're not spending it (Artists like Eminem are maybe an exception because they follow their passion and just happen to make money with it, but I highly doubt that Jeff Bezos founded Amazon with any other intention than making money).
I mean that would be true if there weren’t also businesses that literally got wealthier by investing in and putting out advanced and competitive products
As someone who worked in a bank... A lot of people who "look rich" usually have no money...because they waste it trying to look rich...people who look poor usually have much more money because they don't waste it trying to look rich. 😉
True & False
False and narrow-minded
Its because poor to middle class people care more about looking rich
Nope,your statements is truly false. It depends on every person
That's how society is programmed to be nowadays. I don't understand the effort of trying to look the part if it leads to poverty.
Wow i didnt realize he was so humble, so down to earth!
He’s grounded and doesn’t show off and humble❤❤❤
I really respect him for this. Most rappers as soon as they sell 10 albums they’re out shopping for a 10 cars and a mansion with a big gate to keep their family out
Ok and if I got hundreds of millions when before I could barley afford one meal daily Ofc damn. But spend it smart so last for ever.
Gotta keep the leeches away
Maybe their family are gangsta
It's because most rappers are black, and most black people have a chip on their shoulder and are slaves to materialism. Not to say there aren't white people out there who do the same, but it's super common with black people.
They probably did not let managers take most of the profit.

Cause they never had to struggle for day to day life. While celebs like eminem earned their way to top with real and raw talent.
He doesn't need to be flashy because his talent speaks for itself. Em is a class act, and his daughters will never have to worry about money a day in their lives - which is all that he cares about. Good for him!
