Hey Aluxers! What was like growing up poor? Answer here: www.alux.com/question/what-is-it-like-growing-up-poor/ 15 SIGNS YOU'RE RICH: th-cam.com/video/Pucmmb_uLCo/w-d-xo.html 15 Things Poor People Do That the Rich Don't: th-cam.com/video/nllZrOoxpzc/w-d-xo.html
That’s a fact! Both my parents are deceased and I feel like my foundation is in shambles. But, one thing that keeps me going is, I have changed so many generational curses this far and I’m gonna keep pushing! I’m determined to NOT have the life my parents had. It wasn’t until I moved away to FL in my own and started learning new skills that I grew up poor.
@@TexasStardust11 What can I say..... My Parents were both low/middle class. They both wanted the best for us [my brother and myself] that said. I Strive to follow ..... 'You can be anything you wish to become !!!!" I Believe this. I so exhale/breath and see what is inside of me. Maybe I am good??
Nathaniel Olliff Save a lot of money. All you can save in 1 year. Make a bank account and save the money there and start all over again. Making another bank account at the end of the other year and so on. There are so many bank's. Make bank account in € £ $ and keep all the money in the bank. Never touch it. One of your bank account, will be your retirement plan. All that money, could help you, at your retirement to start a small business, like a fast food or a market, bar, etc. Keep your money, away from your woman. Woman's are with you, just for the money. If they divorce you. Make sure you have secret money saved in bank's, blame you lost the money at the casino, save cash. Woman will divorce you, you pay a lot of money for raising the kid's after divorce, the kid's you will see once a month a few minutes, the kid's who are educated by the woman, who say your a alcoholic and good for nothing. Be rich, don't worry about tomorrow. Work, save money and do everything for yourself. Nobody will.
The article clearly says if you need something & it's good quality & a good price, then great. But just buying things you don't need or buying low quality items that need replacing often is a bad use of our funds.
I choose to be rich, but shopping at a dollar store isn't a clear sign that someone is poor. They're probably just buying stuff there because it's cheap.
It does not cost much to keep the house clean, you can buy the cleaning supplies at the Dollar store. Your house smells because you are too lazy to clean it.
@@lisamarielund6292 It could also mean that you don't have time to clean it... If you are working 3 jobs, trying to keep a roof over your head, keeping your house clean is the last thing on your mind.
They forgot number 16. You go to a job you absolutely hate every day. And by the way, I disagree with #11. Your car being older than 10 years doesn't mean anything. My wife's car is 13 years old and I mine is about 17. Both are very reliable. If you take really good care of them they can last a very long time.
Charlie5thumbs Yes, taking care of your car, means your a very rich person XD It takes a lot of money XD To take care of something, no matter what that is lol
They forgot that #2 has nothing to do with being poor. An ice hockey goaltender took the plane to practice because he lived on a native reserve...nowadays he's considered the best goalie in the world.
Charlie5thumbs ... if your wife's car is 13 yrs old, and your car is 17 yrs old... you don't have a ten yr old car! You have two cars... all you have to do, is ditch one car, and, in a week, (if your really slow), you'll see a serious problem...
My Mercedes Benz is 32 years old, and costs 0,21€/km. I am poor and I know it, but that car still serves me better than newer cars in respect to cost of ownership and ride quality. Plus, nobody cares at work to come outside and see which car you came in.
13:05 "If you got your parents still alive you don't even know how rich you are. These are things that people take for granted then realize their value only after they're taken away from them. DON'T be one of those people."

Eula barredo I simply time stamped and quoted what alux said so take it to them. With the way you comment not only did you prove you're poor of class yourself but you're also struggling so hard with poor intelligence that you're sadly pathetic.
My father was violent and always with other woman i don t see him anymore my mother could n t run away with 4 kids and insulted me so i m by myself..........
I recommend reading the book “the millionaire mindset“. It examines the habits and patterns of wealthy people, and some of them may surprise you. This list is mostly correct except for using coupons and shopping sales. The majority of millionaire households do use coupons for groceries and other consumables, and they funnel the savings toward investments and college funds for their grandkids
Idk..... are you able to verify that its "the majority"? I don't doubt alot do but for the multimillionaires i just feel like it wouldn't be practical, you've probably gone out of your way to save a dollar but i doubt you have or even would to save a single penny, they're on the level of saving pennies and of course that would add up but when they're making 4 digits a day, relatively its still pennies to them, i think they think in terms of % not $
I was born a zilionaire , got eyes to see , mouth to talk, hands to do things feet to walk , ears to hear very blesssed really all human beings are rich at the very beginning.God bless us.
@Aashish Telgote Both poor and rich people get sick. In fact, rich people are usually in better health because they can afford regular checkups, healthier food and major surgeries. Your point?
“I choose to be rich.” I have a wife who has loved me for over 40 yr., I have children who’ve made me proud, I have a decent retirement income and I’m building a future consulting business. I’m healthy, virile, and good looking. I love God, people and my life. Hey, notice I didn’t say I had a lot of money or material possessions? I am grateful.
1. My car is 10+ years old 2. I also shop at dollar stores and use discounts/coupons wherever I find them, and negotiate to get just one dollar off things. Yet, I have enough money to live my lifestyle for about 5 years without work, all self earned.
You can listen to books on tape and to classical music. The problem with a long commute is that you are doing nothing to improve yourself. This is especially so with people who commute by bus. You see them at the end of the day -- most are broken (sure, most have horrible jobs,), but they must wait until the bus gets there to take them to their destination. Every day is like that.
I am looking to get into realestate investing and some of the properties im looking to buy are 2-4 hours drive out of the city. I'd only need to visit the properties maybe once or twice a year but yea I was thinking the make to most of those hours on the road I'd likely sip on some coffee and indulge in some self-development audiobooks. Hopefully learn something new or gain some insight while on the road.
I drive 40 minutes back and forth every day so I learned a lot during this time and now I have another stream of income because of the knowledge I gained converting my commute time into lessons and learning.
I'm 50/50 on this one. I have a 40-min commute but if my goal were to close this gap by living closer to work, my housing costs would jump up significantly. The near- 1.5hr is cheaper than living closer and with teleworking, I crushed the commute gap to once or twice a week.
true. Post pandemic, I am able to work from home now where I was spending more than an hour in traffic. I mentally and physically feel healthy. It makes a huge difference!
Get a roommate or two or even three. I lived with 3 other guys in a 2 bedroom apt. Invested as much as I could, took the bus and took every overtime shift I could. Worked Xmas and New Year’s Day. Bought real estate. No more money issues in my 40’s. Started out at minimum wage.
The only thing "hard" (I actually disagree) for me was "loving family". I will be poor for the rest of my life cause loving family is impossible for me :)
Thank you for mentioning addiction. I am a recovering alcoholic. I thought I made crap, but I saved $17K in my first year of sobriety, and put $10K in Amazon, which turned to $13K, which really got me exciting about stocks. Now I have Netflix and Amazon stock and 10 other stocks, all of which pay dividends, and now I'm every more motivated to save. Though I do disagree with the video on the car thing, but because I live in NYC. I have a 2007 RAV4 which looks new still, and had "only" 115K miles. I don't see a reason to buy a new car when the new one is working fine.
So true #15... My mom is still alive and I treat her like a Queen all the time. Also when my Grandmother was still alive I was the only grown grandchild that visit her on a regular basis and treated her like a Queen also (I was her favorite 🤗). ❤️ thanks for sharing.
Freezy i said the only signs about how memeulous has violated this channel is that haters are coming from memeulous channel, the rest that he said are facts like an 8 year old wrote the script for this channels videos
Do you really? Or do you just need that second job to drive the car you can't afford or the $1000 iPhone that you simply must have to impress others? You may be an outlier but many people claiming to live paycheck to paycheck or who claim to need two or more jobs are simply living outside their means.
After viewing this video I can admit that the author is poor too. Rich people are rich because they know the value to the money. I know one guy, he invested in the advertising campaign of my project few years ago, and he is very simple guy. He often wears clothes from Walmart, he can use public transport sometimes. He’s multimillionaire, and yeah, his clothes are cheap, but he loves Swiss watches, he often wears ~$400-800K watch. Swiss watch is an investment, they are getting more expensive every year. What I’m trying to say is that there’s nothing bad if you’re using discount coupons or driving a 10+ years car, that’s the best you can do now, and that’s smart. If the author of this video suddenly became rich, she’s going to spend them all in few month.
Lord Sesshomaru: The mob would make sure you remain alive as long as possible to pay off the vig if not the principle. If you loose your job they'll make you work it off one way or another How's your pole dancin' skills? (Escort or street walker- you'll pay). The corporations and their puppet the gov wouldnt give a rats ass if you wind up on top ofa pile of bodies in the river. They'll just raise the taxes on everyone else and subcontract the river cleanup to one of their off shore based tax shelter subsidiaries.
Gosh I love how she tells it like it is on these videos!!!! Don’t sugar coat anything! That’s the problem with people nowadays. We want everything to sound sweet to us instead of get hit with a dose of reality! Love it! These videos are motivational and this kind of language helps me stay motivated to continue to work hard in order to remain successful. I’ve been at a low point in my life like many and not trying to go back!
This video was quite difficult to watch because I ended up identifying with quite a few items on your list, but I'm happy to have watched it because at least I know what I have to work on now. I'm determined to move toward a better life and a lot of the videos you fine folks at Alux create are integral to making a game plan that's most effective. As to people getting offended by this video, I don't understand it. How could anyone get upset over this sort of thing? Being poor is only a temporary thing and this video is actually a good road map out of it. All of the items on this list are things that can be changed to some degree or another, it just depends on how bad a person wants out of their old paradigm. It seems to me that if a person is really so upset about being poor, getting mad about a video that confirms it just solidifies their denial and ensures they will remain poor. Thank you for the video, I hope you keep 'em coming!
I am not poor. I am kind, loving,sincere,honest, spiritual and optimistic, moreover I am content and happy with what I have.when u have plenty of money and lack these qualities,u r absolutely poor.
So if someone drives an 11 year old car because they don’t feel like buying a $50,000 vehicle and losing 15% value on it every single year, and never being able to get that money back, then you are poor. Gotcha. I’ll keep driving my 11 year old Volvo and invest that $50,000 instead, and keep letting you idiots call me poor.
Right?! My car is 8 years old and it still has a tint of new car smell. It’s in great condition and well cared for. When I need a new car I can pay for one in cash if I want to but if this car runs til it becomes 20 years old then so be it.
I'll call you stupid, as you obviously can't see the big picture here. If you can genuinely invest $50,000 and not worry about losing it all, you are obviously NOT poor.
Hey! I am not as poor as I thought I was! I could go 6 months without working, No credit card or medical debts, no long commute, nice car less the 3 years old, never steal music or cable or anything, some income without working, a few friends, clean modest house in a modest neighborhood and clean, simple clothes, almost excellant credit score, a few modest investments, ahead on all my monthly expenses and most of all a few good friends. I am not rich but I'm so thankful. I 'm not poor. Until I watched this, I thought I was poor.
I don't think you thought you were poor. You are just flexing your middle-class muscles among poor people to feel better about yourself. Most people say they are middle class unless poverty is crushing them.
Tell that to Mike Tyson. He was once a millionaire but spending 300k a day made him poor. So it might be true that saving wont make you a billionaire but its also true that NOT saving will make you poor.
Faith Moore , Alux not giving a reply just shows they or it is rude & only make these videos 📼 to put down normal people. This is the elitist way of stroking their own egos by calling us peasants. Invest in regular household products like Pine Sol or bleach. It may not seem like much, but it will go a long way. Maybe invest in your local utility like the electric company that provides light 💡to homes in your area. That would be a good start. Hope this helps.
This one sentence never changes for me, no matter how old I am or how many millions or billions you may have. "Your most valuable Asset is Time and Health" Once you realized that, believe it and live it about in your mind everyday, the rest is cake.
I created the 40/60 rule. Take 40% of your salary, this is what you are going to live on, then take the remaining 60%, this is what you are going to save and invest for your future. Great channel, love the straightforward in your face advice!!!
I CHOOSE to be rich. I choose to take the necessary actions and have learned how to invest my money directly in the equities markets (but NOT through mutual funds). I choose to rely on myself and the consequences of my own actions, rather than on the government as a safety net. This is why Point #12 ("You expect the government to take care of you after you retire" was my favourite point in the video. I came to this conclusion myself years ago and have shared this sentiment with anyone who was willing to listen. It's SO rewarding to see that Alux.com agrees with my way of thinking on this point!!

Even tho this comment's not 100% serious, the 1st point is wrong. In the event of a natural disaster, your only source of "income" (plants and fruits) would be gone. Nice thinking tho xddd it'd be pretty dope tbh
Yeah I'm poor as hell, but I'm working on it, I'll eventually get there It doesn't even have to be billions of dollars, just enough to be 100% free. I choose to be rich.
You choose to be rich when you decide to better yourself and do what it takes to provide a solution in the marketplace. Staying poor is most certainly a choice
Richard Searfoss the term ‘choosing to be rich’ sounds uncanny ,because if this was taken literally ,you can’t ‘choose’ to be rich. And all the points the video proves are un-realistic and mostly not true. The video sounds like their hating on quote on quote poor people; and if they meant poor by as in health then that would have been fine but with rich there it wouldn’t work .
As a rule of thumb, in case of job loss, the cushion you need to maintain yourself for 6 months, until you find a new job, is the price of a mid-economy car.
I think the age of the car is about the maintenance cost. The older the car, the more frequent maintenance is needed. But if owner maintains the car well, it doesn't matter if it is 10 years old.
These comments are hilarious... But I choose to be financially stable... Not so much rich.. I rather not obsess about money... "Poor people" are rich in spirit ✌🏾️
Alux: If you’re a person that gets easily offended you need to leave this video. Me: How can being poor offend anyone. I’m sure more than half of the people that watched this video knew they were poor before watching it.
I wasn't offended by this video at all. I'm poor AF. I get excited when I see a penny or a dime on the ground. I'm stingy as AF with quarters...that's my bus fair and/or laundry money.13:01 If it wasn't for my family, I'd be homeless, however you can have a loving family that is very poor.But still, Pretty informative video.
If you have a habit of asking people for money it's a sign you are poor. When you keep on saying things like "I'll be getting my dole money very soon" or " I'll pay you back when I get my dole money" there is no doubt YOU ARE POOR.
Lets say you want a supreme shirt, and it's well over $100..Now its on sale for $50. Regardless if the "rich" buys it full price or the "poor" buys it on sale, it's still the same shirt xD
Yniego Lattao A lot of things are overpriced. You may find it not worth it but some other people will disagree. It is what it is. Like Starbucks is over priced but it’s popular so people wanna go along with the trend.
Alux family I remember once in alux's videos, alux said that poor people are religious people due to the fact that they rely on "a magical being" to take care of their problems. Logically speaking I agree, however from where I come from it's the opposite in my community. All the lower class people in my community spend their free time going out to dinners, watching TV, partying, etc. The richer part of the spectrum from my community ( I'm talking about people born poor and became rich, people born rich and stayed rich, Doctors, Pharmacists, Dentists, entrepreneurs...) spend their free time at synagogue learning Torah and praying. I wanted to reach out to alux and hear their response on the matter.
What about parents who are abusive and violence and downright criminal? Being able to remove those people from your life and bring in supportive people is a sign of being rich. Please don't assume parents are supportive.
I think poor people are compulsive buyers. Buying things you don't need or will never use is plain dumb. frivolous purchases are useless self gratification. Have a good wardrobe practice. If you buy a new shirt throw the oldest or least used one away to make space for it, shoes, trousers, under wear all clothes need replacing from time to time but not all the time. You will think twice about buying some new trainers if you have to throw there equivalent ones away when you get home. Do not hoard stuff ever. Have what you love, love what you have.
It would make more sense for a rich person to be a compulsive buyer, as they may actually afford it. You wouldn't buy unnecesary stuff if you can barely afford the neccesities. But then again I know someone who is often poor because they are a compulsive buyer. So its partially true
True BUT, whats the point of having money if you dont use it to buy things that'll make you happy. Its really more about finding the right balance than just completely doing without compulsive buying
Yes we are talking about money and happiness. If you really like something and go out of your way to buy it then it's not really compulsive purchase. Foe example every week or less we go shopping and it is always better to eat before you go because you are more likely to spend time checking out some bargains and reading the labels than if you hungry. Take your time to decide what's the best option and as i said before have a good wardrobe policy. It's not that poor people are poor because they want to be but being more sensible with your money when you have less just makes sense. It's all about saving little bits of money here there and everywhere to buy something that you really want that will keep you happy for years rather than weeks or days. Food again always choose the best and freshest you can which nowadays is not so difficult just stay away from prepared meals or fast food it may be cheap quick and easy but we all know about that story.
I do not consider myself poor but I own cars more than 10 years old. I take good care of it and it runs very well. I am hoping I can have them for another 10 years.
When you are poor, you prefer to pay for food not for detergent. really im not joking. Or in another case, if you dont have a house and you have to pay every month a rent. And you dony have a lot of money of course you will prefer not to stay in good conditions, like a good place in town, or somewhere where your bath looks ok, you will accept all this stuff just to pay less . I imagine that you dont have to deal with all troubles, im from an european country... a middle developed one. And this for a lot of us its something that you have to deal with. Im writing this just to make you understand this. P.s hope you will never have to deal with stuff like this. But be aware anyway.
Nobody become a Billionaire by saving money, But Many Become a Millionaire by saving money. Having a million dollars is more than good enough in this world.
You don't have to agree with everything she says, but one can't simply stress #12 enough: "poor people expect others to take care of their own problems". So true!
The signs of poverty are basically that you have little cause to value your life. You try to numb yourself with entertainment. You fall for wild promises of pie in the sky, as with religion or lottery tickets. You make ugly compromises.
Sign that you are poor #1: no matter how much money you have, it's never enough. If you have more than enough and are wasteful, you will always be poor
· I disagree with #11. Your car being older than 10 years doesn't mean anything but your 300 to 500 a month richer..So Invest that money into Real physical Silver or Gold.
I don't agree with several of these, like the older car, and many wealthy people eat fast food regularly, and many wealthy have addictions, and even the average person expects to supplement their retirement with social security.

Being frugal doesn't mean you're poor. Yes people should focus on growing their income, but they shouldn't throw it away on overly expensive items.
Exactly, it's good to look out for bargains.

The majority of millionaire households do use coupons for groceries and other consumables, and they funnel the savings toward investments and college funds for their grandkids
Idk..... are you able to verify that its "the majority"? I don't doubt alot do but for the multimillionaires i just feel like it wouldn't be practical, you've probably gone out of your way to save a dollar but i doubt you have or even would to save a single penny, they're on the level of saving pennies and of course that would add up but when they're making 4 digits a day, relatively its still pennies to them, i think they think in terms of % not $
I was born a zilionaire , got eyes to see , mouth to talk, hands to do things feet to walk , ears to hear very blesssed really all human beings are rich at the very beginning.God bless us.

So you were born with a functioning body? What an accomplishment! 🙄
@Aashish Telgote Both poor and rich people get sick. In fact, rich people are usually in better health because they can afford regular checkups, healthier food and major surgeries.
Your point?
It so amazing to me the sheer number of people who don't get that if your spending exceeds your income, you are failing.
It's because the system is set up that way. It encourages people to get in debt.
“I choose to be rich.” I have a wife who has loved me for over 40 yr., I have children who’ve made me proud, I have a decent retirement income and I’m building a future consulting business. I’m healthy, virile, and good looking. I love God, people and my life. Hey, notice I didn’t say I had a lot of money or material possessions? I am grateful.

1. My car is 10+ years old
2. I also shop at dollar stores and use discounts/coupons wherever I find them, and negotiate to get just one dollar off things.
Yet, I have enough money to live my lifestyle for about 5 years without work, all self earned.

Hi Anne what do you do???

Commuting is bad, I agree; but you can listen to podcasts that can add value to your life if you do have a long commute.
You can listen to books on tape and to classical music. The problem with a long commute is that you are doing nothing to improve yourself.
This is especially so with people who commute by bus. You see them at the end of the day -- most are broken (sure, most have horrible jobs,), but they must wait until the bus gets there to take them to their destination. Every day is like that.
I am looking to get into realestate investing and some of the properties im looking to buy are 2-4 hours drive out of the city. I'd only need to visit the properties maybe once or twice a year but yea I was thinking the make to most of those hours on the road I'd likely sip on some coffee and indulge in some self-development audiobooks. Hopefully learn something new or gain some insight while on the road.
I drive 40 minutes back and forth every day so I learned a lot during this time and now I have another stream of income because of the knowledge I gained converting my commute time into lessons and learning.
I'm 50/50 on this one. I have a 40-min commute but if my goal were to close this gap by living closer to work, my housing costs would jump up significantly. The near- 1.5hr is cheaper than living closer and with teleworking, I crushed the commute gap to once or twice a week.
Podcasts are crud
Well guess I’m poor then because I don’t have a Loving Family and I drive an 90s civic

You're paid minimum wage and forced to pay half your salary on rent. Despite lowering your exspenes despite saving all you can
I work 75 plus hours a week and I'm always on the breadline
Get a roommate or two or even three. I lived with 3 other guys in a 2 bedroom apt. Invested as much as I could, took the bus and took every overtime shift I could. Worked Xmas and New Year’s Day. Bought real estate. No more money issues in my 40’s. Started out at minimum wage.
I lived in my van for 5 years and saved enough to buy a house cash.

Thank you for mentioning addiction. I am a recovering alcoholic.

Now I have Netflix and Amazon stock and 10 other stocks, all of which pay dividends, and now I'm every more motivated to save. Though I do disagree with the video on the car thing, but because I live in NYC. I have a 2007 RAV4 which looks new still, and had "only" 115K miles.

Nice Fiddler on the Roof reference, made me smile :)
After viewing this video I can admit that the author is poor too. Rich people are rich because they know the value to the money. I know one guy, he invested in the advertising campaign of my project few years ago, and he is very simple guy. He often wears clothes from Walmart, he can use public transport sometimes. He’s multimillionaire, and yeah, his clothes are cheap, but he loves Swiss watches, he often wears ~$400-800K watch. Swiss watch is an investment, they are getting more expensive every year. What I’m trying to say is that there’s nothing bad if you’re using discount coupons or driving a 10+ years car, that’s the best you can do now, and that’s smart. If the author of this video suddenly became rich, she’s going to spend them all in few month.

Gosh I love how she tells it like it is on these videos!!!! Don’t sugar coat anything! That’s the problem with people nowadays. We want everything to sound sweet to us instead of get hit with a dose of reality! Love it! These videos are motivational and this kind of language helps me stay motivated to continue to work hard in order to remain successful. I’ve been at a low point in my life like many and not trying to go back!
This video was quite difficult to watch because I ended up identifying with quite a few items on your list, but I'm happy to have watched it because at least I know what I have to work on now. I'm determined to move toward a better life and a lot of the videos you fine folks at Alux create are integral to making a game plan that's most effective.
As to people getting offended by this video, I don't understand it. How could anyone get upset over this sort of thing? Being poor is only a temporary thing and this video is actually a good road map out of it. All of the items on this list are things that can be changed to some degree or another, it just depends on how bad a person wants out of their old paradigm. It seems to me that if a person is really so upset about being poor, getting mad about a video that confirms it just solidifies their denial and ensures they will remain poor.
Thank you for the video, I hope you keep 'em coming!
I am not poor. I am kind, loving,sincere,honest, spiritual and optimistic, moreover I am content and happy with what I have.when u have plenty of money and lack these qualities,u r absolutely poor.

So if someone drives an 11 year old car because they don’t feel like buying a $50,000 vehicle and losing 15% value on it every single year, and never being able to get that money back, then you are poor. Gotcha. I’ll keep driving my 11 year old Volvo and invest that $50,000 instead, and keep letting you idiots call me poor.
Right?! My car is 8 years old and it still has a tint of new car smell. It’s in great condition and well cared for. When I need a new car I can pay for one in cash if I want to but if this car runs til it becomes 20 years old then so be it.
Bravo!
note that she said if it doesn't function...
I'll call you stupid, as you obviously can't see the big picture here. If you can genuinely invest $50,000 and not worry about losing it all, you are obviously NOT poor.

Couldn't agree more, lol !
I CHOOSE to be rich.
I choose to take the necessary actions and have learned how to invest my money directly in the equities markets (but NOT through mutual funds).
I choose to rely on myself and the consequences of my own actions, rather than on the government as a safety net. This is why Point #12 ("You expect the government to take care of you after you retire" was my favourite point in the video. I came to this conclusion myself years ago and have shared this sentiment with anyone who was willing to listen. It's SO rewarding to see that Alux.com agrees with my way of thinking on this point!!

You choose to be rich when you decide to better yourself and do what it takes to provide a solution in the marketplace. Staying poor is most certainly a choice
Richard Searfoss the term ‘choosing to be rich’ sounds uncanny ,because if this was taken literally ,you can’t ‘choose’ to be rich. And all the points the video proves are un-realistic and mostly not true. The video sounds like their hating on quote on quote poor people; and if they meant poor by as in health then that would have been fine but with rich there it wouldn’t work .
As a rule of thumb, in case of job loss, the cushion you need to maintain yourself for 6 months, until you find a new job, is the price of a mid-economy car.
My car is an over ten year old honda accord and it does not require any maintenance that is out of the ordinary.
K Boslice well I heard reviews about HONDA'S and it's all good! Good for you!
The same richness applies to my 17 year old Toyota Camry. It still feels new to me.
K Boslice i still drive a 97 Honda Civic
I think the age of the car is about the maintenance cost. The older the car, the more frequent maintenance is needed. But if owner maintains the car well, it doesn't matter if it is 10 years old.

I remember once in alux's videos, alux said that poor people are religious people due to the fact that they rely on "a magical being" to take care of their problems. Logically speaking I agree, however from where I come from it's the opposite in my community.
All the lower class people in my community spend their free time going out to dinners, watching TV, partying, etc. The richer part of the spectrum from my community ( I'm talking about people born poor and became rich, people born rich and stayed rich, Doctors, Pharmacists, Dentists, entrepreneurs...) spend their free time at synagogue learning Torah and praying.
I wanted to reach out to alux and hear their response on the matter.
Stay single, don' t have kids...
Correct! I am really rich. Fuck what I like when I like
if you dont have kids you're poor.
Value and richness doesn't always come from money....remember there are somethings which are priceless....family is just one of them
oldrocker74 s*** its dark but pretty f***ing good😂😂😂
kids are so expensive to keep, its like keeping a pet but it costs u way more money and it also costs u 1/4 of your life to raise
What about parents who are abusive and violence and downright criminal? Being able to remove those people from your life and bring in supportive people is a sign of being rich. Please don't assume parents are supportive.

The Analytical Menace right. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about
Kevin Johnstone it’s a dude
I think poor people are compulsive buyers. Buying things you don't need or will never use is plain dumb. frivolous purchases are useless self gratification. Have a good wardrobe practice. If you buy a new shirt throw the oldest or least used one away to make space for it, shoes, trousers, under wear all clothes need replacing from time to time but not all the time. You will think twice about buying some new trainers if you have to throw there equivalent ones away when you get home. Do not hoard stuff ever. Have what you love, love what you have.
It would make more sense for a rich person to be a compulsive buyer, as they may actually afford it. You wouldn't buy unnecesary stuff if you can barely afford the neccesities. But then again I know someone who is often poor because they are a compulsive buyer. So its partially true
neal the Deal true
neal the Deal this was a harsh reality I needed to hear...I hate you and thank you at the same time.
True BUT, whats the point of having money if you dont use it to buy things that'll make you happy. Its really more about finding the right balance than just completely doing without compulsive buying
Yes we are talking about money and happiness. If you really like something and go out of your way to buy it then it's not really compulsive purchase. Foe example every week or less we go shopping and it is always better to eat before you go because you are more likely to spend time checking out some bargains and reading the labels than if you hungry. Take your time to decide what's the best option and as i said before have a good wardrobe policy. It's not that poor people are poor because they want to be but being more sensible with your money when you have less just makes sense. It's all about saving little bits of money here there and everywhere to buy something that you really want that will keep you happy for years rather than weeks or days. Food again always choose the best and freshest you can which nowadays is not so difficult just stay away from prepared meals or fast food it may be cheap quick and easy but we all know about that story.
I do not consider myself poor but I own cars more than 10 years old. I take good care of it and it runs very well. I am hoping I can have them for another 10 years.
"If your house smells like shit all the time, YOU'RE POOR." Okay I lost it!!! dead!!!
...or just lazy or a hoarder.
When you are poor, you prefer to pay for food not for detergent. really im not joking. Or in another case, if you dont have a house and you have to pay every month a rent. And you dony have a lot of money of course you will prefer not to stay in good conditions, like a good place in town, or somewhere where your bath looks ok, you will accept all this stuff just to pay less . I imagine that you dont have to deal with all troubles, im from an european country... a middle developed one. And this for a lot of us its something that you have to deal with. Im writing this just to make you understand this. P.s hope you will never have to deal with stuff like this. But be aware anyway.

If there were no taxes I would be more than rich but my money gets less because every product cuts by tax.
You don't have to agree with everything she says, but one can't simply stress #12 enough: "poor people expect others to take care of their own problems". So true!

One sign, and one sign only: You can't afford shit. But that wouldn't make a long enough video. LOL

The signs of poverty are basically that you have little cause to value your life. You try to numb yourself with entertainment. You fall for wild promises of pie in the sky, as with religion or lottery tickets. You make ugly compromises.
Sign that you are poor #1: no matter how much money you have, it's never enough. If you have more than enough and are wasteful, you will always be poor
i choose to be rich and not blame the government

I disagree with #11. Your car being older than 10 years doesn't mean anything but your 300 to 500 a month richer..So Invest that money into Real physical Silver or Gold.
Last year I sold some silver coins I detained (Sovereigns) on the Bullion Vault. I lost 50% on their purchasing price a couple years earlier.
I don't agree with several of these, like the older car, and many wealthy people eat fast food regularly, and many wealthy have addictions, and even the average person expects to supplement their retirement with social security.
