Re: Saving one third what you earn monthly is not that hard, isn't it ?
Thanks for your kind reply. Well, I’ve also traveled almost all continents and do share your view on poverty. Poverty is indeed a global issue faced by all governments and their citizens but the worse part is that the gap between the rich and poor deepens the poverty issue. In many countries, the rich and ultra-rich people enjoy an insanely lavish lifestyle while the poor are barely having food on table. We always picture a nation using its bright and prosperous image but how about those poor and dark sides ? The more I travel, the more I cherish my own life. As an individual, I can do nothing with eliminating poverty but will try my best to help those who are less fortunate as much as I can.
Nice to keep up the conversation with you, thanks
I'm talking about super wealth, and poverty now I'll say more. The topic is not very pleasant, but it is a reality.
We can discard the SUPER-RICH, of which there are conditionally thousands on earth. By the way, many of them donate HUGE funds for many humanitarian programs, assistance to the same developing countries and poor regions.
Let's talk about the "medians" of our lives - the middle class, the poor, and the very poor.
The middle class, according to my observations, in most cases these are people who were able to "arrange" and "find themselves in life." This is the result of their WORK. And I know a lot of examples when they came from either low-income or even poor families.
The second part is the poor/low-income people. There is a layer of people, I would say this - those who are not used to straining a lot, who are tripled by their standard of living (as, for example, they lived in the USSR with the idea - nothing is poor, but stable). People-losers, people "rolled down" from the middle class. People who talk more about what they want than actually do to achieve what they want.
The third is the poor. This is the saddest group ever. They became so for many reasons, but as a rule, the main ones are: class division in the country / nation, victims of religious "traditions", residents of countries where totalitarian rulers are either ruled by religious fanatics, or where the head of the country for many decades is simply deeply corrupt power. Other reasons are already fractions of a percent of the reasons. And the biggest problem is that the last 2 levels are the reasons, in general, the people themselves. They do not want to strain, they choose the power of thieves or totalitarian rulers, they do not want to learn, think and develop, but they just want help to be brought to them .... And no matter how much the middle class and the super-rich allocate money to meet the needs of the poorest and low-income, the will only increase the scale of the requirements. It does not look very humane, but such is human nature.
For example, I said for a long time - instead of "humanitarian missions" and constant "feeding" people - build factories for them, train them - let them earn their own living.
This concept is more correct and not nearly more costly than simple "content". Plus, it is closer to "biblical" models - it's better not to feed the little man by giving him fish, but to teach him how to make a fishing rod and fish, so that he can constantly get his own fish!
