Poor parents tell their kids to save, and rich parents teach their kids to invest. They actually sit them down, and teach them everything they know about investments. This is actually far more important than the pile of damned rubbish that they teach the poor kids in public schools. Do you wonder why the wealthy always seem to stay ahead in life?
John D. Rockefeller once famously said, “I want a nation of workers, not a nation of thinkers.” With that said, he sanctioned the writing of a standardized school curriculum for public schools, that promised an education for the children of the working class.
That system would provide poor children with the chance for a better life than their parents had. But did they receive an education, or did they receive indoctrination? Worse than that, they threatened to incarcerate the parents for child neglect if they did not send their kids to school.
The indoctrination of working class children was reinforced by the indoctrination of their parents, who themselves were brainwashed. They would often tell them things like; “one foot before the other.” Or they would say; “save and sacrifice for what you want,” or “work hard, slow and steady wins the race.”
They failed to realize that there are people in the world with machiavellian agendas who will eat you alive with that kind of thinking. And if that wasn’t bad enough, they also used religion as an excuse to call us greedy. Only so they could guilt us out of rising above our conditions.
It’s as if they had set us up to be an easy target from day one. Why should we work for a blasted bunch of ingrates for most of our youth, only to pay alimony and taxes, then die? Does that sound like it’s fair to you?
With the advent of the internet, there is hope. We are now able to learn what the wealthy have known for centuries. And practice some of what they do, so that our lives can also be worthwhile. Mark Twain once famously said; “I will not allow my schooling to stand in the way of my education.”
If your parents did not provide you with the right tools you need in order to get ahead, and the adults in society had failed you. That is indeed very unfortunate, and I empathize with you. But it is now your responsibility as an adult to rectify those mistakes, by unlearning toxic habits, and relearning healthy habits. Not only for yourself, but also for your children. So that you can break the cycle of poverty in your bloodline.
Poor parents tell their kids to save, rich parents teach their kids to invest. Don’t be a poor parent. Break that cycle, TODAY. The internet is a game changer. And with the advent of AI, it will change the landscape of the workforce, forever.
