Why the widespread psychology of poverty

in #life8 years ago

It always bothered me the question of why some people try to make at least some attempt to escape from this "social phenomenon", while others simply accept it and live until the end of his days.

I will not raise the philosophical component, and whether to Express the richness of money? Interestingly the attitude and prevalence of the phenomenon in our psychology.

Surely you've noticed how people with little income are constantly in the race costs exceed their capacities, living paycheck to paycheck, dependency on credit burden, envy... they are in the order of things the discussion of the difficulty of his position, underestimating their abilities, and much more. Total we have well-known economic phenomenon of "vicious circle of poverty."

More prosperous, on the other hand, plan all your expenses, keep records and accounts, constantly in discussions about their needs and their necessity in this point in time, think about the savings. Psychologists observed that people with good income are in connection between money and achievements, and with increasing income the role of money in life is constantly decreasing. And increases the importance of family values, friendships, the opportunity to realize themselves in any kind of work.

Probably there are those who will correct me, since I can judge only from your life experience, although I grew up in a family below middle class, but for me it has always been important as early as possible "into the fray" and take everything from life, to devote much time to its development, monetize your Hobbies.

Many argue that the psychology of poverty is almost inherent in the subcortex of the brain and was formed on the experiences of early childhood. But what we see nowadays, the worsening of the social situation and the development of "inter-class rivalry", these beliefs, parental attitude to money is transferred and children. I believe that this mentality rejects the very development of human limits, not allowing them to reach their potential.

But for the memories, both his and his children should be the thought of having an early exit out of the comfort zone, admitting their mistakes and constant desire to improve on their experience.

Every day, in mind of working with a large number of people, I see how they limit themselves, blame their problems on everyone but themselves. Most fixated on complaints, bad country, not the place, the time has gone and more. All the result of our reactive thinking. But on the other hand, a successful person with proactive thinking, trying to change the environment around them, instead of talking and complaints - rapid action!

Keep hearing (not just from the category of the psychology of poverty) that money corrupts is evil, they can not earn honestly. Don't know about you, I am convinced that this is banal excuses. Not wanting to change. I know dozens of examples of success around them, when people an honest way to reach their goals.

However, many, work, continue to follow the "psychology of poverty" and contented them. Them unpleasant head, there is no interest in development, there comes happiness coming "Friday". This man condemns himself to an imaginary stability, does not resign and is not going to realize your talent, I'm sure everyone has it, your talent!

Is it possible to get rid of the psychology of poverty?

Yes, I guess human nature wants peace, but without the desire for change - nothing will change. This probably is a paradox of psychology (poverty), without changing the work place, not opening yourself to something new, we stagnate. Do not think that doing nothing, something will change around you, any success is not just luck, it very much laid on his work.

Psychologists have proven repeatedly that success is achieved by people who clearly know what they want.

Set goals, strive for them and achieve results!

I like your approach. I was just talking to a friend about this issue. He mentioned a friend he knows who earns a hundred thousand a year yet is in debt and has to continue working 90 hours a week. During this conversation he mentioned the new cars his friend has purchased and how he spends most of his money with barely anything in savings.
If you earn a hundred thousand but spend a hundred and one thousand you are still broke.
Our habits are a huge part in our success. Yes taxes and laws make it harder, but if a person can't handle 13,000 a year they won't be able to handle 50,000 and so on. They haven't developed the habit and control over money. Of course this is easier said then done. Especially after we've gotten ourselves into financial messes. I know the struggle of chasing a dream and surviving daily expenses. I will admit I failed to step out and work towards my dream because a financial pressures . It's too easy to accept the things will never change lie. Dr. Myles Munroe said the reason people stay in bondage is that it's easier to stay a slave, then it is to take responsibility. He said as a slave your suffering isn't your fault and there's nothing you can do. Yet with freedom comes personal responsibility, and that takes sacrifice.
