What Truly Separates The Rich From The Poor

In the world we live in today, the richest 1% of the population controls 48% of the total wealth and the top 80 richest individuals are worth as much as half the world’s population or roughly 3.5 billion people. When considering these figures, there is no doubting the fact that there is a separation between the rich and the poor. While many people assume these wealthy individuals gained their wealth by being born into wealth or winning the lottery, that simply isn’t true. In fact, only 11 out of the 80 richest individuals were passed down their fortunes with the other 69 having made their wealth through their own hard work and determination. And one of these 69 individuals is none other than the investor mogul himself, Warren Buffett. Like the majority of these rich individuals, Warren Buffett grew up in a middle-class family but found a way to amass the knowledge and skills that would eventually lead him to accumulating a wealth of over $70 billion.

    Investments only work if you have large sums of money sitting around doing nothing. The poor don't have such luxuries as their incoming is pretty much gone paying the cost of living. It takes few million just sitting around to create a diversified portfolio to produce livable returns. Sure you can yeet few grand onto a high risk and potentially make out big but that's effectively no different than gambling at your local casino.

Roughly 80% of them earned it as first generation individuals without family inheritance. Which means they are the first to be rich in their family. Inheriting wealth as the #1 excuse for why most rich people are rich is invalid. There are of course a ton of variables in life beyond inheritance such as an individuals work ethic, where you are born and being raised, and as mentioned before the connections you get, or come across, throughout your life can make a really big differences, and so much more.

    00:43 oh, this starts well. FFS, Warren Buffet's father was a Congressman with a thriving business. Through investments that his dad allowed him to do in the family business since he was young, Buffet finished university with no debt and a sizeable amount of money, which allowed him to immediately start business partnerships. And while it's true he worked for it, his father's name opened tons of doors for him (not to mention the good money he had to back him up). He was never ever in his life in danger of "failing" like normal people are. For him, "failure" would just have meant going home and taking over his dad's business or enter politics - a FAR cry of what can happen to the average person if they don't succeed.

    Bottom line is that Warren learned from observing what his father's clients did with their money.

He became substantially richer than his father ever was.

I guarantee you there is an area where you are bleeding money unnecessarily. Like that morning Starbucks the guy was buying, or fast food, or the temperature you keep your air conditioner set at. There's always something. Just last payday I paid off a credit card that was holding be back in one chunk. My son asked how we were going to make it for the next two weeks. But you know what, today is a new payday and we made it and I don't have that money going out anymore.

    When one is wealthy enough, they often buy the $1000 sunglasses as opposed to the $25 or $250 models because the price makes zero difference and they prefer the exclusive option with the superior design and workmanship. Exceptions exist, but this is the norm in the people I know with $100+ million in assets, especially when born into it. However, some men who earned it tend to still buy frugally.

    There are many dynamics separating rich from the poor. At work I worked late every day and got my work done ahead of schedule under budget. Meanwhile other employees worked weekends just to keep up. Management praised the other employees for working weekends. My manager took on a project nobody would take. Mistakes were made by other people on the project, My manager was demoted because of it, even though we performed well. I know a person with a high school education that died with a million in the bank.

    Rod Schmidt it should be worded as “surround yourself with goals driven people”. If you keep surrounding yourself with losers that blame everyone but themselves for their state of living then you will become one yourself. I had to drop out of college because my dad’s company l in Venezuela become nonexistent. I was supposed to inherit it and studied business since literally freshman year of high school to do so. He also decided to have his second child with my stepmom at that time. I could have blamed everything and everyone for never moving up, but I decided to help him for 4 years to build a small company from scratch so he could support my brothers, while also having a part time job to save some money to move across country. When I finally moved, I worked 3 jobs to make ends meet literally working every day until I finally got a full time job I was comfortable with. I was in a very low moment all those years but thanks to always surrounding myself with goal driven people, they helped push me to the reality I wanted.

    This vid has some good points, but its way too much "ivory tower" with meritocracy and believing that hard work in and of itself will automatically equate to earning more and getting promoted. In reality, the ability to master the art of "office politics" and social engineering is just as critical if not more than work effort put in. There are people that work very hard, but get passed over because they don't stand out, and there are people that work far less but get promoted with raises because they figured out with areas have the most prominence and ensure their efforts are noticed by the right people. Next, it's been proven that having people save $5 a day not ordering coffee is not going to change their earnings trajectory. You'll have to make bigger sacrifices- like cutting cable, and finding ways to reduce rent/mortgage costs. Finally the old saying rings true- you're likely not going to become wealthy working for someone else- you have to think about being an entrepreneur.

You can add networking and good social skills in there sure, but it's better to work on the foundation. Sure hardworkers get passed over, but if they're constantly learning, improving themselves, and investing, it doesn't even matter. If the current workplace doesn't acknowledge all their accreditation, knowledge, experience, and skills, they can just move on to a better paying and appreciative company.

Unfortunately, the folks making the decisions often don't recognize competence or mistake some other quality (ambition) for it. With portable 401k's, I think the typical competent employee is foolish to trust their career to a single company. Raises and promotions are much more likely to occur by hopping to a competitor and possibly even returning a few years after that. Loyalty is no longer rewarded much. I've been at my job for 23 years and have been poorly compensated for my loyalty. However, I recognized this early and started my own side business as well so it works well for me.

    I'm gonna have to be honest with you, Bob, You see, Bob, while your video does make some excellent points between John and Tom who had similar backgrounds and similar opportunities, with John having a good attitude to work and money, while Tom had a poor one, which highlights how one managed to get rich, while the other remained 'poor'. Thing is Bob, you forgot poor Bert. Bert grew up in a working class family and lived in a working class neighbourhood and went to school that didn't have the facilities to accommodate Bert's ambitions. Bert's family couldn't afford to send Bert to a different school. Therefore Bert didn't have the same opportunities that both John and Tom had. Regardless, Bert worked hard at school and did well and went on to college, but he worked through college to help his family. Bert left school with reasonable grades, but was unable to get the kind of jobs he would have preferred. Instead he took a low paid job and hoped to gain experience that would eventually lead him to promotion and a better pay. The minimum wages he earned were barely enough to pay the bills in his studio flat, but Bert, unable to afford a latte on his way to work, put some money by each week for night classes. Unfortunately, Tom's company closed down , which meant the smaller retail outlets it owned also closed and Bert found himself out of a job. He could no longer afford night classes and despite all his best efforts, could not find a new job. Bert's future is bleak, Bob. He might, if he's lucky, get another low wage job and after several years hard labour, may one day pay off his credit card debt he's accumulated paying for dance classes for his daughter and to keep his battered car on the road. Got the picture yet, Bob? It's been a year since you posted the video Bob, but maybe Bert will see it and think his whole life has been worthless as you didn't include him in your examples.

    So true! I'll add one more : Tim rents his place, and has never wanted to make the commitment of home ownership. When he retires, he will have zero home equity and will be always having to make rent payments. John, on the other hand, bought a small starter home as soon as he could. A few years later, he bought a home he intended to live in long-term and one less expensive than the banks told him he could afford so he could finance it for no more than 15 years. John pays off this home before he turns 50 and has 15+ years to put his former mortgage payment into his retirement savings.

Like manager, investment, banker, top attorney, top entertainer, top athlete,... than there are the other jobs that may not paying you zillions, but people are happy because they live a more simpler life, follow dreams that don‘t cost a fortune or generally don‘t like the concept of working all your life for materialistic things/investment success/presige/awards.

    One thing that people always leave out is that yes, it is the mindset that separates the broke from the poor, but it's the MAJOR ACTION that is needed in order to go from one class to another...you dont get rich from working hard, or delaying gratification today ( although you earned every right to it by hard work) denying yourself a Starbuck drink each day until retirement ( which you may never see)...Moving up means taking drastic actions to get there, such as moving away from family and friends to go where the opportunities are, buying Goodwill clothes for the next 10 years just to save enough money to get that house or that business started or invest in the market. I had to give up wearing Nikes for 20 yrs just so I could buy a whole lot of NKE shares. Also had to deny myself lots of things for years just to earn my MBA and still struggling to move up a class. It's tough to deny yourself things that you work so hard for to go to a level that you may never get to. It's a tough set of decisions but are neccessary but how many of us are willing to do it...not many, which is the reason many of us are on the bottom of the pyramid holding up the rich.

Then you have expenses like utilities, food, gas, car maintenance, car insurance, (forget medical insurance) and essential home supplies like cleaners and toiletries. All the sudden-that 30K a year person not only doesn't have money left over but most likely goes without most months. I think that comments like yours must come from children who don't know how much it can cost to live or someone who is out of touch with reality because they've never been in said situation.

    I agree with everything you say and much of this is in your control. However some of us are not as socially advanced as others. Let me explain: a close friend and I have similar jobs, but he has multiple millionaire friends. He gets to go on nearly free vacations as he gets to stay at guest houses, or gets to stay free at their vacation properties, they have given him free vehicles when they go to buy a new one, he has eaten for free at some of the nicest restaurants around, etc... He gets so much from being friends with the millionaires, that he has more of his own money left to spend on himself and hence even though we make similar money, his social skills have him living WAY nicer than me. He has done me the solid of introducing me to these people, but I just don't have the social skills that allow me to make friends easily. Trust me, I have tried, but there are some SKILLS that people have and some that we don't. I am very successful in my own right and by my own hard work and will never see myself as a victim, but sometimes I am jealous of those people who get by on their good looks and a winning smile...

    Am747, there's not much difference between a rich class and a well to do. They're both upper class no matter what. No one will confuse them for a homeless, working class, or middle class person. A well to do person can afford many of the same luxury that the very wealthy can (expensive houses, check, expensive cars, check, expensive clothings, check, fine dining, check, etc). Don't forget that a well to do person, such as a doctor or lawyer, saves money too. They don't necessarily have to invest to become rich. As for celebrities, not all of them invest. There are actors and athletes who make many millions just from their contract alone.

    Economics 101: Everyone can't be a billionaire. There's a reason it's called "wealth accumulation" i.e. steal from the poor, give to the rich. EDIT: since some can't understand it simply, I'll quote The Guardian: Adam Neumann, WeWork’s now ejected founder, is making off with a $1.7bn reward for failing to achieve his vision and appearing to lose investors eye-watering sums of money. As with most tales of financial hubris and reckless over-expansion, the architect absconds with the spoils while the company’s employees pay the price. About 4,000 WeWorkers are expected to be fired. Their new chairman told them they were “taking one for the team” - one of the lesser-known features of the market’s invisible hand.

    The actual difference between wealthy and poor is that you don't become a billionaire by being kind, generous, or empathetic. Poor people "pay themselves last" because they live paycheck to paycheck, meaning their rich bosses don't pay them enough money to cover their basic living expenses AND put a decent amount toward savings. I'm sure so many, myself included, would LOVE to put $500 away each month in savings and investments. But when your monthly income is $3,000/month or lower, that gets a little tricky, especially if you provide for a family. After you take out rent/mortgage, food, utilities, and all of the things you can't not pay every month, you're left with crumbs, crumbs that you still put away for a rainy day, sometimes over years, but then it gets wiped out with one car repair, one trip to the hospital, one or two months after being laid off. Sure, you can just work hard and your boss MIGHT reward you, but the reward is always more like "well thanks, better than nothing I guess". I've gotten 5 raises over 2.5 years of work at my current job, through a hellish pandemic, and I still make well under the minimum livable wage. Also, take note of the ages of those 69 (nice) self-made billionaires. Christ it's like a damn retirement community made entirely out of gold, interns' tears, and extinct/endangered animal skins. It was way easier to make a fortune before we reached this stage of hyper-capitalism. When those fuckers were the low rung of the corporate totem pole, ass kissing and working hard and playing in the stock market actually yielded results (obviously), not to mention a college education was way cheaper and wages were way fairer. But now those very people control the markets and do everything they can to prevent any assistance to their workers so they continue to be exploited, avoid any accountability by throwing their money at problems, and through legal bribery slowly work toward ensuring Mother Earth dies while they go play spaceman on Mars cuz theyre running out of ideas on how to spend their money. You made an entire video essay admiring a technique of wealth building that doesn't work or even really exist anymore. You are Fry from Futurama booing fellow poor people because you someday MIGHT be that rich. And I mean sure, there are exceptions to every rule, but while only 11 of the top 80 inherited their wealth at the time this was made, when those other 69 rich fossils finally get buried, where do you think all that wealth is gonna go? Certainly not to those who "worked hard" for it...

    Most tips are not really usable to get rich, like "John needs 500 Dollars extra for his PlayStation therefore he takes another job...." if it would be THAT EASY, there wouldn`t be any homeless people or poor people. Getting a well-paid job, or good salary raises in the existing takes months of job applications, or a good reputation in a company. One can`t go out of the entrance door highly motivated and with good mood "to quickly earn 500 Dollars more" without getting employed somewhere ;) The same goes for all these online-jobs. Like I said if it would be THAT EASY to just shovel endless amounts of money in by just owning a computer, every KZreadr would be a millionaire, every smart person with a laptop would never in life face any financial problems.... everyone would just "build multiple streams of income" if it is that easy and earn endless cash by sitting on the couch with a laptop. The thing with the coffee on the other hand is true, if one buys useless trash-food every day to gain little instant gratifications for 3-5 Dollars daily like the example with the expensive coffee, that costs 25$ every week, 100$ every month and one is loosing 1000$ every year just for buying the daily trash-food.

    Not entirely true. If you can show that you brought in a lot of cash once, and if you want that to happen again, you'll want a % of it, then you can get those bonuses. Course, the flip side of that is that you can use an new in innovations for yourself instead of the company too. The company can make more money than you can implementing it by yourself, but by yourself you keep 100% of the smaller profit.

While the poor think they already know everything and would rather put others down pick up a beer rather than a buck and complain that they are at a dead end job or complain that they got laid off from their job. The rich also know that anything they do outside of their comfort zone is going to be new with plenty of curveballs down their way and learn how to pivot. The average broke person will not read or change anything and act like they’re better than everyone. The rich constantly learn and grow while the poor think they already know.

I've seen several comments angry or dismissive of the content of this video. It's a little light, but does show common behaviors and mindset of those who create wealth vs those who don't. if you live above your means during times of plenty, you will struggle to survive during times of need. notice most of the businesses hardest hit are restaurants, salons, bars, travel/leisure, gyms, etc., i.e., businesses that cater to lifestyles that many who lived it couldn't afford. now that their customers are unable to pay their bills, or barely survive, these businesses are closing. There are always haves and have-nots; and the have-nots waste their energy in resentment, whining, sniveling, complaining and blaming others for their situation. That won't make a positive change in your situation. That's the mindset they will keep you poor.

The drivers are freely free to work anywhere with any category, so in this scenario the restaurant will select the option of finding delivery boy from our app and the system will make the selection on who is nearest and who will approve taking the task... because for example there will be hundred of drivers roaming everywhere to fo a job daily... We can not devote a driver to any restaurant as they are free to work anytime and anywhere. The system should divide the three payments into two transaction first the cost of the item goes directly to the bank account of the service provider secondly our commission to be transferred to our bank account clearly the delivery fees to be also transferred to our bank account, and there should be a way for the admin to generate reports to know exactly how much should we pay on a monthly basis or daily the fees of the drivers. [5/19, 4:50 PM] محمد السناني: This is very important The drivers are working as a freelancer our job is to give them their money based on a system that should be clear for them to know when exactly they will be getting their money The restaurants will be only controlling their own drivers if they select option number one which is using their own drivers and the transaction of payment will be going into two transaction as explained earlier [5/19, 4:52 PM] محمد السناني: There's also a scenario if the system could not find a driver then the whole order will be canceled with a message to the customer and notification to the restaurant stating that unfortunately we could not find you a driver [5/19, 4:54 PM] محمد السناني: So the restaurant will not start preparing the order without having the order process confirmation which is a customer order confirmation , the restaurant confirmation ,the delivery boy confirmation....once all this confirmations are complete then the restaurants can prepare the order [5/19, 4:56 PM] محمد السناني: The process of the system especially in the customization that we have ordered should be very clear to save your time and effort and to avoid misunderstanding and arguments so my advice is you understand exactly our requirements and confirm accordingly and write down in details as I have explained above in our proposal to confirm the understanding and to guide your developers to develop exactly our requirements.

    While I’m not rich (yet), here’s an example that can help you understand. I used to work at a fun job moving all sorts of cars around Southern California from business to business. We were over 600 drivers. It was an awesome and chill job. But the pay was crap. At $11/hr, I was getting nowhere in life : still living with my parents and recently coming home from college because I couldn’t afford what I wanted to study. Fortunately tho, moving back in with my parents helped me save a lot of money. It took a while but I finally managed to save over $2,000. Took a leap of faith and decided to go for my Class A license (trucking). Here I am now trucking cross country making $60,000/yr. Seeing my first trucking pay check made my eyes glitter lol I’ve never had so much before. I now make enough to buy my own house (which I am in the process), and still have enough to invest and start a business to expand my income (which I am also in the process of). A lot of my ex co drivers are following as they’ve seen the significant financial differences we now have. The point is that we all worked at the same place making the same amount of money. The difference was that I disciplined myself, made a plan, and saved my money for a specific goal. My co drivers just spent their money on random stuff and always complained about never having money. This video is completely true and relevant.

    @Lol not the point.. we're not a 3rd world country, saying that america is great just because we're not being slaughtered by drug cartels is a pretty shitty argument

    They are both wrong..."employees" Might have got a big bonus, but if he put that effort in to his own business, he'd be better off.

    Okay but what about the poor in America? Those actually in poverty. In a household that makes $15k a year? I had to work 35-40 hours a week in high school and maintained a 3.5 gpa to pay for my own college when I realized senior year my parents had no money for me. I graduated with 10k dollars and I am now working on an associate’s degree in web development. 15 credit hours, 6 hours of commute a week, 20-25 hours of work, plus hw. I’m annoyed when people who are middle class talk about being self made and struggling. Imagine everything they went through + the struggles of living below the national poverty income standard + being a first gen student + being Hispanic + paying for your own education. It’s hard to make it out when you’re actually poor not when you live in an average American household. It’s hard when siblings and those around you are falling victims to the statistics of teen mother, incarceration, and drug use. I’m learning more and more that everything is about perspective but I wish people for one second understood for one second how strong and courageous you have to be at times when you’re actually poor.
