One of my good buds is CEO of a half billion dollar company.  He buys jeans and tshirts in bulk and gives them away so that he doesnt have to do laundry

Black or blue jeans, with grey, white, or black V necks. All day, every day.

He has stacks of them wrapped in plastic in his apartment

Not why they are wealthy. but may be why they are not poor either.

Retarded video is retarded.

"Don't waste your time watching TV. Instead, waste it watching this hour long video of completely useless bullshit."

Also, poor people eat cheap food, buy cheap clothing, and don't have that much money saved? Well no fucking shit.

That book was really eye opening and a good read.

Rich people will go to sporting events but they are. It constantly talking about sports, dressed up as a fan, tail gate etc....


They go to games to make deals and socialize.

That was a pretty good video. Thanks for posting.

I haven't seen many Fortune 500 CEOs  at sporting events wearing a foam cowboy hat, stripped to the waist, with a letter painted on their chest.

And I would venture a guess that there aren't many millionaires calling in to SportsChat at 2am, to bitch about the local team's "D".

Wow you're really triggered. Are you poor?

You seriously didn't get those points even after they were explained in detail? Cause I thought it was spot on for the most part. 

Almost everything they do is to network.

One of my friends died last year. She was in her early 60's and for all intents and purposes didn't really look poor.

After she died friends and family members had to clean out her house that we thought she owned. She didn't own it, an old friend from another state did and let her live there and pay the mortgage.

The closets were full of clothes purchased on sale, most with the tags still on them. 

She was a hard worker but not a smart worker. As a result she pretty much always was working. She had a couple son that never worked, she was raising one of her grandsons.


In spite of all this she managed to go on a few cruises a year and other travels. 

I guess she had the last laugh, she avoided being poor in old age. I wonder if she would have gotten so sick if she wasn't constantly stressed from supporting her sorry ass grown ass man children and constantly bailing them out of trouble.

She sure did have a shitload of stuff she got on sale. If she did away with that she could have quit on of her jobs and taken accounting or some other thing that would have paid better.


I have another poor friend that works several jobs. She is also raising a grandson. She would have a nice retirement account if she just quit smoking. The grandson just graduated, he has no goals or aspirations. He plays games and sleeps all day. He doesn't even want to learn how to drive. He will never be moving out to start his own life. She sees nothing wrong with that.

Rich people go to the games, but they don't give a shit. They ghave because it's something cool to do. Poor people are the "superfans". Exceptions abound with everything, but I've been to sporting events in expensive suites with people who barely watched the game and probably weren't even sure who "we" were playing.

This and I definitely am not rich. I have a Lotus though

I will confess that I don't remember who the Texans were playing the last time I was in a box on corporate tickets.  I also don't remember who won, but it was almost a year ago...

This. I know a guy who makes about $250k a year whose idea of going out to dinner is Applebee's. And he uses gift cards.

That was probably one of the dumbest lists I've ever seen. Paying full price for clothes does not make you rich. It makes you frugal and smart with money, which in turn makes you rich.

That's the entire trap of consumerism. Guy Ritchie broke this down on Joe Rogan's podcast the other day and it fucking blew my mind. The suggestive language these marketing teams use is designed to lower your self-esteem, which creates the urgency for you to repair it, which leads you directly to their shiny new trinket.

Watch that video again and listen to how many times they mention shit like "your current situation."  Fix your current situation you deadbeat.
