Toward a more decent opportunities.
As the complexity of our world expands, it becomes harder to maneuver. Many people are ending up in a financial corner as a result. The uncertainty of your finances can cause even more stress as you ask yourself "Can I go on?"
In some ways, the idea of reducing non-material values and investing only in money may be tempting, but this is troubling because you lose out on many other aspects. When we overvalue stuff like money or success, we decrease the value of trustworthy relationships and an appreciation for mindfulness.
At the same time though, there is so much hope with fresh perspectives; as far as possible things become better even if they are not perfect yet. For example, children's learning and smiles have no monetary value which yet makes them so valuable to some people who usually use that phrase sarcastically or when they're feeling insignificant.
People around the world experience lots of financial struggles from not having enough resources but do not think of different approaches to effectively adjust without letting their situation deteriorate. The problem of poverty is a complex issue that has been seen in many different parts of the world. Poverty is not only limited to having low income but also includes lower status and lack of hope. Even with opportunities, people fail to find happiness and satisfaction because they do not have the resources they need in order to succeed.
Investing in savings often begins with having the foresight to understand what those savings would provide if lowered to the poverty line.
In the book “Millionaire Next Door” by Thomas J. Stanley and William Danko, the authors emphasize their hypothesis that 90% of millionaires were once broke and recent studies show that Russians have a similar conclusion as well. The authors are not sure how nor why this phenomenon takes place, but they had two possible explanations:
Average American is poor because they save very little at the early stages of life due to being optimistic and believing everything is going to be fine. They want to only worry about what they can control and therefore don't worry about money - so they get poorer experience market price fluctuations. This ends up limiting their wealth accumulation.
Average American is poor because most jobs in America today are poverty-level earning jobs designed for people who can't accumulate much wealth during a career - Walmart cashier, Walmart employee assistant,
The trust in traditional methods of wealth creation has been undermined by how difficult it is to understand how we get what we need, and then stay as healthy as we all can.
For many people, a lack of income has a serious impact on their freedom to live the life they want to live. This was made evident with the experimental study that Stanford University conducted, where researchers simulated retirement through hypothetical 1-30 year periods and asked participants about their life satisfaction. When more than half could no longer access as much income and expenses were higher during those simulations, their quality of life plummeted.
