You're spot on with your description of the poverty mindset. I've known plenty of folks like that, and things don't get any better for them. The poverty mindset is the one everyone should be trying to avoid like the plague, but I recognize some people are simply not fortunate enough in life.

I'd bet anything people in poverty work 60 hours more often than working class people.

by Johnathon36 1 week ago

I have 3 jobs. I work 80 hours a week. It can be done. I'm not alone.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Most people in poverty are hourly. If they're working 60 hours then that's 20 hours of time and a half, equivalent to 70 hours of pay. They might work a second job, but usually because the first is only 20-30 hours and then they add on another 10. Most salary people at my previous work place were there at 8am and there after 5pm with short or no lunch plus some evening or other work. They still get paid for 40 even working 60, so employers push that a lot.

Working all the overtime you can get, at a mill, plant, factory, as opposed to no overtime, can be the difference between $50k and $70k. Just to use a generic example I've seen myself. The specific gap will obviously depend on a few factors. But it's big

Does standing around between lunch and dinner count as work?

by Subject-Neck8 1 week ago

That's prettyuch how I feel. I'll never crawl out of poverty, no matter how hard I try. Unless I get lucky, I'll do what I can. There's no point in overworking myself if I already know it won't do anything.

Unless, you come from a decent background. No loans/aid is given to you because you're seen as a high risk regardless of how perfect is your score. Trust me, I've tried.

Lol. A bank loaning an 18 year old enough money to start an oil and gas company? Don't blame circumstances Says the person living off of disability, renting for their entire life, is waiting for a food bank to deliver their food, and judging other people on the internet for them not being millionaires at age 18. And YOU of all people have the audacity to talk about people mooching, and want to tell stories about no excuses. "It's this thing called work from home" "Maybe you weren't aware of what they can do." "Find something that's in high demand, research it, and learn it." "Not everyone mooches off of disability, just the lazy ones."

If you don't believe it, I don't care. If people who go for it and are successful make you jealous, I don't care. It's true, and it's called hard work and brains. You obviously work in fast food, because people are successful all the time. Except for you. I'm sorry you're so jealous. I don't care.

Being in poverty literally reduces your IQ. Shown by research done one Indian farmers, who gained IQ by one standard deviation right after harvest, if it went well and they sold everything. Then, as the next season rolled in, the stress increased, and money started getting low. IQ dropped again. A whole friggin 15 points. How do you think it is for the poor, week to week. Living like this. Or even poor students, wondering how they will pay back their loans. It effects their IQ.

Honestly I think it's because you get punished for doing a good job. My last job I did everything, did extra stuff, started picking up tasks for my manager and colleagues, became the single point of failure for certain process. Got told that I'm an outstanding worker, got promoted within a year - only to find out I got paid £7k less than my two coworkers who started in the same role at the same time as me at the same age, and then got given the boot during a restructure due to budget cuts (didn't boot the two less effective employees who were more expensive though). Current job, half-assed a document 30 minutes before a presentation and got told by my boss it's one of the better presentations they've been in.

by Langworthgarric 1 week ago

Well that's not how IQ works but that's besides the point. But I'm not sure this is true because you can tell from a very young age who's dumb and lazy and wouldn't be making much money or have a good career.

My coworker sits and does nothing all day and then complains about how he doesn't like the job while gathering his $63k/yr for quite literally nothing.

by True_Earth 1 week ago

People were healthy, smart, and hard working when they used to have to all work jobs that they hated and barely kept their families alive. People in the 50-60s lived through a World War, so they were just happy to have real sugar. They also had parents that raised them and a society that didn't let them slack. And that's less than 100 years ago. Try going further back. If you're not doing something that you love, put your extra time into finding and developing a marketable skill that you love. Take pride in what you do and spend more time and effort learning how to upgrade and maintain your own stuff rather than hiring people to do things for you and you'll make your money go a lot further. That doesn't mean that life is easy or fun, but a lot of how life turns out is still dependent upon your attitude.

I mean, I don't think that either proves or disproves their intelligence. But I'm pretty sure that a willingness to do things you don't like for various gains, self enrichment, obligation and responsibility is most of what divides the lazy and the not lazy. Actually liking your job to some extent helps, but a looooot of people who aren't lazy also don't like their job, or at the very least would love not being able to have to do it 5+ days a week.

You can change your life if you really want to, think outside the box and find something else to do for a living. Nobody loves working, but if you're in a job you hate (do something, you'd be amazed at what you can do if you change your attitude and come up with something). It's a looong time you're going to be working, why be miserable? Life is too short to hate everyday. Good luck!

If you assess a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will fail/fall short every time. We often assess people by our own life standards, without taking into account all that they have had to endure and experience up to where they're at now, and it's this lack of detail in our consideration, along with arrogance to believe that our ignorance is correct, that leads us to believe our own delusions about other human beings

by maryamhickle 1 week ago

I wasn't aware that people are forced to work specific jobs. I'd like to hear more on this. A factory worker in the 50-60s would put more effort because they would get a car, a home, etc I wasn't around then but it seems people had a better work ethic then. People today are coddled by technology & society, which makes them expect life to be easier, reducing their expectation of hard work.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

I can't tell if you're being serious. There are plenty of people working multiple jobs to afford the bare minimum. Changing job is a risk, if you get let go, your rent won't pay itself. At low paying jobs, you are entirely and immediately replaceable. When you're poor, you just can't take these risks.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Nah I don't agree with that take at all. I've worked in enough places to know people adapt to whatever circumstances they're in. The people of previous generations working today would be the exact same way

by Superb_Mongoose7218 1 week ago

work ethic is something older generations made up to feel better about never spending any time with their family and to ease their regret of never having enough time to enjoy their youth. why should a basic minimalistic life have to be inherently hard, why should it be hard to be able to afford bread and eggs and a one bedroom apartment in a society where these things are overwhelmingly and abundantly available. It sounds like you worked hard to get those things and want everyone else to suffer the same in retaliation despite that being completely unnecessary in this day and age.

by Quiet-Accountant5596 1 week ago

Oh, thank you for saying exactly what I'm thinking. No work ethic anymore, they don't want to work more than 2 days a week, and they want to work from home (ffs), and they ARE lazy. I worked hard and I'm 55 and retired. If there was a job that required constant complaining and texting instead of working, they'd be successful at that. Whew
