Ben Carson Calls Poverty a ‘State of Mind,’ Igniting a Backlash

You aren't allowed to tell people that their attitudes, beliefs and behaviors keep them in poverty... Even if you're a person raised by a single mom in Detroit that grew up to be a freakin neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins.

Also of interest is how blatantly the headline mid-characterizes what he said.

Whenever I (all too frequently) see these people bleating on about how life is unfair, they deserve this, they're entitled to that, about how anyone who doesn't support their political agenda of violently-enforced redistribution is evil, blah blah blah...

I just imagine a herd full of rescued farm animals. Eating all the grass and bleating for more. Eating it faster than their well-meaning rescuer can grow new grass. Then angrily attacking their benefactor when the grass runs out.

And then dying of starvation. Naturally, they're just herd animals, so they remain completely oblivious to the fact that they were the cause of their own death.

And these kind of people make rotten employees. They'll bitch over every single dollar of pay raise, holidays and benefits while seeking to do just about enough work....

This is no good to business that relies on human resources. Remind me again why we need automation....
I'm not into politics, but I respect Ben Carson.

Wow.

So you've faithfully slaved away your whole life, following Rich Son's financial advice. Now you're nearing your SCRIPTED retirement age, and yet, you can't retire.

Rich Son saves the day once again...his plan didn't work for you before? Well, check this out! Now for the low, low price of $997, learn from the man himself how YOU TOO can start an easy business dropshipping ordinary products straight from China!

Faceache sponsored post by Robert Kiyosaki

Maybe @LordPhenny really is four or five decades ahead of the game all along...

That shit plagued my social feeds and even turned up on some ads here on the forum. Doing dropshipping is one thing, but asking me to redo, rebuild the plan when I fail? Why should I repeat a failed plan?!
To repeat another failure?!

I'm gonna rant.

This vagrant is smart, using the Kiyosaki name as a validation for marketing. It seems that anything with the name Kiyosaki or Rich Dad is armed as a cash cow, whether the company's directly in it or not. I just don't understand the business behind this. It's insane.

But yah, SCRIPTED: Asking you to repeat the SCRIPT when you fail i.e get a job/pay cut, compete massively in areas with rotten entry barriers with sad liberal arts or business degrees (STEMS might follow), screw up on Ponzi schemes.

For the excuse of:
'If you are not getting the results, you are not doing it the right way. Do it (SCRIPT) again.'

And there you go, people run back to school for that pay raise, run back to that nice job with five figures, but with the nasty office politics...

 

[The-J]

Saw a post on Reddit saying something like "I believe that every rich person has intentionally F*cked someone over to get to where they are." 20 something upvotes.

Hm. Alright. How's that belief workin out for ya?

Hating the wealthy is a BIG part of the script. Keeps people further away from real life, stuck in their bubble.

 

[JWelch]

Sometimes I think this forum is a dream and I'm dreaming because in the real world, I'm surrounded by sidewalkers and slowlaners everyday. No one in the real world shares the same beliefs as me. One guy I know has a bachelors but he's earning minimum wage, 32, and seeking a city job for the nice 401k and social security benifits. I tried to recommend him the book and he quickly got defensive/ignorant trying to convince me that the book is a scam. I freaking laughed my a$$ off on the inside but thereafter considered not telling him shit anymore bout the fastlane. Because he's been force fed the status quo:

Get a job, trade 5 days for 2, retire old and enjoy your new retirement home.

Like no lie, I feel like I'm the guy from the matrix. This forum is my only sanity lol. One guy I know asked me about how much I got in income taxes and what I did with it. I told him I still have it and I'm stacking it to launch my business and cover expenses. He on the other hand purchased a Honda Accord. But seriously, it's getting crazy, everyday someone comes up to me and tries to convince me to get a better job so I can retire with a good pension. Work hard, work 6 days, and put in over 60 hours so I can have overtime. Then after that, I should spend my money on nice things because YOLO. People get mad that I save checks, donate money to charity, and don't buy the new nikes or go to clubs. And they get mad that I disagree with their perceived notion of fun: going out, leasing new cars, buying the newest IKEA furniture, etc etc.

Sorry for the long post, rant off haha.

It's surprising how this guy wouldn't see the results of his path and realize that it's not everything he was told it is.

On the flip side it's amazing how continuous indoctrination can forever brainwash multitudes into a false reality. Jocko Willink had a Vietnam vet on his podcast the other day who was a POW for 6 years.
He had an excerpt in his book where he noticed that the only advertising of any kind that he ever saw in the country was propaganda. Everything was about the state and that they are all apart of a beautiful system.
The POW, Charlie Plumb went on to say he felt more sorry for his captors because he knew that at some point he would leave his cell but they were all doomed to the cell of their country's border. Decades later he met a vietnamese woman at a park who happened to be in Hanoi during the war as they spoke about his experience she refused to believe the actual treatment of POW's because the Vietcong had systematically showed in videos and told citizens that they were able to play volleyball and ping pong etc. being treated with the utmost decency.

Unfortunately the lie in this country with the "American Dream" now being college, good grades, great income and the stock market and eventually wealth is just as strong of an indoctrination and people who have heard it strong enough since a young age refuse to think a different reality even is possible. The SCRIPT is indeed alive and well.

This sounds like a great plan.

A conversation with a coworker came up a couple of weeks ago and this article reminded me of it.

He was talking to me about a friend of his that is "doing well" and to make a long story short he went on to say that his buddy 'wasn't old enough to retire'.

I couldn't hold back my laughter. I said that's what's wrong with this whole F*cking thing, people START with the thought of "I retire at 62 years old". Whereas your age literally has nothing to do with retirement unless you never get fastlane.
Typically in places like manufacturing facilities guys announce their retirement months ahead of time. Why months? Because they retire on their birthday when they are eligible for social security because after decades of work they're broke as hell and it's their only option.
And yet we have articles like this that people eat up as if 70 years old is now the new standard of retirement as if it should have anything and all to do with the decision.
Situations like this that I see are FTE's by themselves.

Just go to bogleheads forum, it's a goldmine there....

Anyone else catch the ad war going on in the last year or so between Vanguard, Blackrock, Sachs, and Schwab over cheapest index fund management fees?

www.investmentnews.com/article/20170202/FREE/170209973/another-salvo-in-the-fee-wars-schwab-cuts-expense-ratios-on-index

"Chairman Charles Schwab said in a statement, “Indexing is the simplest, easiest, cheapest way for the average American to build personal wealth. It's dynamic yet predictable, and offers diversification, cost-efficiency and the potential growth opportunities that come with owning a broad basket of securities. With today's news, we're making it even easier for mainstream investors to build indexed portfolios.”

Some good sales copy right there. Charles Schwab HIMSELF said that it's a good way to build wealth. Who would disagree with an authority figure like that?

Mutual Fund Fees Are So Cheap that Goldman Executives Actually Gasped

"Mutual Fund Fees Are So Cheap that Goldman Executives Actually Gasped"

I bet.

"These days, common sense favors low-cost investing, and investors are putting their money where their mouthes are. Around 95% of all new money has gone into the cheapest fifth of the fund market..."

"Common sense" aka, the Script. Is that implying that if you don't follow the herd into low-cost index funds, you are lacking common sense? Playing the shame card haha.

"Why would anyone want to pay more for less return, especially since a small fee difference of 0.60% means an almost $100,000 loss over 30 years, from a $100,000 initial nest egg."

Excellent question lol.

"In 2014, the industry saw fee revenue hit a high-water mark of $88 billion, over $38 billion more than it was the previous decade, buoyed by a 143% increase of assets under its management, according to Morningstar. As its report aptly says, "Thus, the industry—rather than fund shareholders—has benefitted most.""

"rather than fund shareholders"

And the truth comes out.

I will just leave this here, too much to actually post here, but there are daily updates:

For those who did everything our parents told us to do... now what? • r/lostgeneration

I live this thread, research show that people don't actually learn from their own mistakes, due to ego, but a bit trick will make ego work for you, that is, people do learn from OTHER PEOPLE'S MISTAKES, and learn it really fast, so this thread will help in that matter.

oh come on i didn't read the book yet!
that first article sad af though... but what did the chick do the first 55 years before being so desperate for money... ????

this brings up a persistent question i have regarding young people.
why do people insist on ignoring their lack of security?
if ur 1st generation immigrant, if u have no family connection with private property, no backup living situation, etc etc
then your work is cut out for you! how can you party it up when ur 2 paychecks from broke? an accident from broke? an economic downturn from broke?
its illogical!? why are people so damn illogical? ur basically in a heartless land with no parcel of ground to call ur own and u go party it up. how!?

Exactly, I was in the situation, due to circumstances not related to the economy, I was put into a very insecure position mentally in 2006, then I decided to do one of the riskiest things I have ever done in my life, signed up to join the navy. 10 years later, I have a well paying job and a degree all paid for by uncle Sam, watching people in my generation graduate with a degree they paid for and working at min.wage jobs. Being in this forum is my way of making myself feeling insecure again, so that I will thrive for more than what I have now. The illusion of security robs one's ambition.

Slowlane Pension Crisis/The Pension Gap
How a pension deal went wrong and cost California taxpayers billions

Highlights - In California the difference of what has been set aside for pensions and what they will eventually owe is $241BILLION!
Even with a market rebound pension funds have not caught up
The light on the end of the tunnel is a fast moving train not the end of the tunnel - bottom line if you are thinking your 30yrs hard work for the State of California will allow you to retire with lifetime benefits think again!
Sidenote: I know a nurse who retired from LA county. They offered her 9,500 per month for life or 1.2 million cash. I strongly advised her I would take the cash. She took the monthly benefits

Oh, don't you worry about California, 22% of the state economy is propped up by the housing industry, with its sky high cost of living. They can do this because they can always import more immigrants, I being one of them As long as rich, striving immigrants alone with their hard working lower class counter parts are willing to come, California will be fine. The weather is a major factor imo, you can't pay for that no matter how much money you have, see other blue states like IL are in a crisis even though they have exactly the same problem as California, because no one wants to move to IL for any reason with the shitty weather....but you will always have talented young people wanting to move to California, especially the southern part.

"Slow and steady wins the race," is a quote I've heard repeated over and over as if some infallible piece of life wisdom. I've come to view it as the mantra of the slowlane. It should be replaced with, "speedy execution and exponential growth wins the race."

As for the rest of your post, as usual I have no idea what you're goin on about but welcome back to the forum bro!

The SCRIPT has destroyed critical thinking which is why the much of the world is now a "hive-mind" powered by Scripted benefactors.

This sounds like a great plan.

The Americans have their government sanctioned ponzi scheme, why can't we have ours?

 

[JourneyToAbundance]

Three financial SCRIPTS that I listened to with the rest of the herd - Listening and following financial porn to plan my early retirement. I use to believe that time and compound interest was the only way that I can be wealthy. I can't believe I wasted so much time listening to these morons on CNBC marketing their financial products or listening to their predictions on the market.

• Listening to experts that think they can predict where the market is going
  • Long term capital management disaster in 1998 - 16 of the most brilliant minds in finance with 400 years of experience went broke by using a flawed model that didn't manage risk properly
  • In June 2005, Alan Greenspan said there wasn't a housing bubble
  • In March 2007, Ben Bernanke testified that the Subprime crisis was contained
  • Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme which promised 10-12% a year in returns.
    
  • From 2009-2011, Meredith Whitney predicted Municipal bond defaults in 50 counties in the US
• Any article on 401k by age, I use to read and follow these articles religiously. Trust Wall Street to return 7-8% a year
• Any Early Retirement Article: Retire at 62 with a million dollars and live to 100

As MJ said in Unscripted , the best defense against the SCRIPT is knowledge.

It's been so disheartening watching big corporations cut loose upper and middle-management employees with 25+ years of service...these friends are 401K rich (but not old enough to tap into it), cash poor, and too overqualified for most jobs now. They need to read TMF and Unscripted . Their biggest worry is replacing Health Insurance...

Should be a fun 11.8 years..........

I had a friend who always quoted a bull shit article he read when he defended why he's happy accepting a smaller salary, mocking my ventures into different businesses.

The article mentioned something similar to: "Studies show that people making 40k/yr are just as happy as those who make 150k/yr"..

I'm almost certain the survey's were skewed towards those Scripted... but he wouldn't understand it, because he didn't want to understand it.

 

[MJ DeMarco]

Studies show that people making 40k/yr are just as happy as those who make 150k/yr

Such studies are to soothe the egos of those who need an excuse not to improve their financial situation.

Even if we give them their little crutch, follow up with this question...

OK, since money doesn't buy happiness, would you rather be miserable in bed on 1000 thread count sheets overlooking the ocean, or would you rather be miserable in a rat infested apartment which sits next the steel mill?

20 companies offering great job security - I need to stop reading these articles

I'm halfway through Unscripted and the section on momentum paralysis in Chapter 26 is one of my most difficult delusions to re-wire - it's my kryptonite

"The greater our emotional attachments are — years of schooling, training, residency — the harder abandonment becomes, hence not choosing what’s best for the future but instead desiring to not see your past investment wasted.... Momentum paralysis keeps you chained to your past while wasting away your future. This is important for new entrepreneurs, because multiple failures precedes success"

This is where the SCRIPT has me by the balls. I keep on replaying the successes in my 17 year career as a project manager. I re-live the great successes, the pay increases early on in my career, the industry certifications that I've completed ten years ago. Part of me want to stick around for that 25 year work anniversary celebration because it's a "celebrated milestone." I need to change my narrative and the story I tell myself but my emotions are getting in the way. Trying to edit the movie playing in my head is extremely difficult.

Betsy DeVos's student loan overhaul would hurt doctors, lawyers

TLDR: Don't accumulate a king's ransom in debt, then choose a job based on who promises to "forgive" said debt... they might change their minds.

How this couple paid off $200,000 of debt in 2 years

"People had me convinced that taking 30 years to pay off the debt was normal and that I shouldn't worry about it," she said.

Even better is that the article never asks "WTF would you get 6 figures into debt in the first place?" Instead it reinforces the script by recommending you be thrifty to pay said debt. Twilight Zone.

I am going to say this.
Amazon didn't let me post this as part of my review, but I am going to say it here.

The reason why UNSCRIPTED IS the Thor's hammer, the nuke strike on the Slowlane/ SCRIPT is that the entrepreneural execution strategies and pointers aside, @MJ DeMarco actually took his damn time to walk us through the mental barriers and mess in our lives preventing us from getting rich. Thanks again.

I must admit, I used to be the guy who though that you had to be lucky to get rich.
I used to be the guy who though you should listen to others, especially experts and follow them.
TMF gave me a hint of critical thinking, which led me to make better choices of action, but UNSCRIPTED now tells us HOW to get it and HOW to develop new critical thinking. The SCRIPT is going to get more advanced in the future, so we need more usage of critical thinking than ever.

This is one of the reasons why I am staying out of getting a professional degree. For some of you, especially those who see opportunity in STEM fields, a college education might be necessary. But for me, that threat which you have mentioned above outweights the benefits, i.e the years of emotional attachments. A professional degree would suck the shit out of time, opportunities, self education and adaptability, which MJ talked a lot about in UNSCRIPTED .

Even now I am paying for my choices. I chose to go to a pre-uni education for a year and a half. I found TMF at the beginning of the semester. I badly really want to take MAXIMUM ACTION, which requires much of my time, but alas, my academic responsibilities have choked the life out of me. I am only limited to freelancing as building a business needs way more than eight hour workdays, let alone a four hour work week. Well, I have only myself to blame. Out of accountability, I have to finish what I started although I realise now it was a dud.

Could have been worse. Could have been a four year long degree suckage or a five year contractual obligation of a soul sucking job.
And compared to you Westerners, the Asian context of education even in tertiary education is harsher and far more restrictive than you people. You can party on weekends or go out freely for movies and whatnot even on college days, but for us, its the grind on the books. And they even provide outdoor benches and tables of the work effort. This is as close to the Japanese culture of work-till-death.

So, any of you newcomers from the Western countries, if you think you are bloody unlucky, consider us Asians. Of course, I have made my peace with the unlucky argument. But still, considered the SCRIPT barriers in place in Asian societies such as mine, the 'unlucky' factor is still dangerous especially for SCRIPT prisoners.

RANT OVER

Those in the SCRIPT actually have a higher chance of being scammed by crap investments. Although Ponzi did take out some high-level investors, those guys still had dough in other places or their losses were limited.

This piece of news have been throwing my country up into an uproar.
https://www.themalaysianinsight.com/s/2140/
Cops: Over 400,000 people invested in JJPTR scheme - Nation | The Star Online

I'll save you the painful read.
Sparknotes version:
-Young founder with no banking or finance experience sets up a currency trading finance scheme, called JJPTR
(JJ Poor to Rich, literally, sounds more scammy than the Millionaire Fastlane , lol).
-Unlicensed forex trader
-promises 20% MONTHLY returns, plus minimum guarantee of receiving prior capital...word spread through mouth like wildfire (MJ's on the money of the power of word of mouth)
-claims accounts have been hacked, leading to loss of RM500 million (that is about USD 100 million plus...a fortune)

I quote from the article:
'An unlicensed forex trading scheme, JJPTR has drawn thousands of investors with the promise of a 20% monthly return, but is now in danger of collapsing like a stack of cards'

I'm not a finance whizz, but I had never heard of a return that big on legitimate investments, unless you are an activist investor like Buffett or an entrepreneur that took his company public or sold it, and then those returns are way huger than merely 20%.

Prior to this fiasco, I was urged by some concerned relatives of mine to invest in this.
They: This is a good opportunity! We have no time to learn how to invest (then talks some crap about how hard living is, with rising costs and job woes), so we can let some people help us invest. They have the knowledge, but we don't. Let them take our money and make it bigger.

Me: Nah, I'll pass. The guy running the show ain't got the experience or chops. I'm better off focusing on my things. (they thought it was my studies, but I meant my Fastlane efforts, but if I told them, I would received SCRIPTED resistance)

They: But we don't have time to learn how to invest. You need to have some investments so that you can live better in the future when you graduate and have a job.

Me: Nah, I won't invest in shit I don't understand. I want to know what I am going into so that I can control my risks and know what to do. (Later in UNSCRIPTED , @MJ DeMarco , said that there are no financial experts...cringeworthy, so it was already validated as SCRIPT horseshit)

Results, my money was saved and their money wasn't....they lost about 10 grand in ringgit in the ensuing losses....still substantial money to upgrade a typical entrepreneur's Amazon inventory and buy some ads and settle phone bills for customer service, with a bit left over.....

The SCRIPT told people that they had no time or education to learn new things, let alone business or investing, and so they have to give away their autonomy to other more' professional' people.

Best recipe for financial fracas....

One thing I learned:
You don't need to be a finance whizz to avoid scams and financial crooks, or even to identify them!
The only finance I ever read was RDPD, TMF, unscripted , the 2X method book offered generously by @V8Bill and accounting technicals. If I ever saw anything on stocks or real estate, I only read the blurbs or the first few chapters. I am as 'knowledge deprived' as F*ck compared to hard players here, yet I avoided such scams that 99% of the SCRIPT populace fell for. I saw that the JJPTR finance scheme had RED FLAGS, called them out like MJ did. But few people listened, because I was just a young a$$, and they went into the shit.

I'm not celebrating this. It's an embarassment in a heavily modernised society.

BTW, a slight derail, @MJ DeMarco , on a few more things on UNSCRIPTED . telling us to forget the commandment of Time in favour of a focus of a Productocracy was brilliant. I have been making the mistake of purposefully working towards channels of such, which limited my options and value array. Absolutely brilliant.

Plus it was good to see that you picked material from the GOLD and NOTABLE threads of the forum for the book. I chuckled as I saw them, remembering the time I found the Anton real estate and Mohammad Islam trading fiascos threads. You wove everything together into a message that basically displayed the SCRIPT in all of its masterful ugliness. Although I'm no stranger to this, you blew my expectations....again. I admit, before TMF I believed in those fibs and wanted to go into the real estate and trading fields as a result.

This money chasing error is going to be the bane of almost every entrepreneur who doesn't find the truth of the UNSCRIPTED framework.

 

[MJ DeMarco]

Thank you. Just seen too many people worshiping passive income and thinking it is this overnight occurrence that comes from one poorly written eBook.

This past weekend, I was painfully reminded of the SCRIPT.

• I saw a Facebook message from an Aunt that is really just extended family.
• She sent me an article about a businessman that died from working too much and not sleeping enough.
• This person also psychologically damaged me for a couple of years by saying:
  • "You should get married soon, you are in your late 20s now. If you don't your babies will come out with disabilities or deformed".
• Who says that? Why would I start a family that I can't take care of? What a b!7c\-\

Talk about an underhanded and stealthy way of trying to force the SCRIPT on someone. It took me a day or two to release the anger from that thought.
I will not hang around these people anymore. Only you ladies and gentlemen understand me. Letting go of these relationships suck.

I did not even realize that some of my biggest detractors are family and friends until years later...it all clicked when I read UNSCRIPTED .

@MJ DeMarco basically described my life and the obstacles I'm encountering perfectly...the book is timeless and universal.

Rant over,

This was something that I thought about a lot when I was young and in high school. I didn't want to be like anybody in my family or hometown. All of my friends from my youth didn't go do anything big. This really bothered me and I knew I wanted to get away for college. By pure luck, I went to a college where I was surrounded by many people that thought bigger. People that beleived big things could be accomplished. Now, when I look back I am so glad I made the decision to get away.

DEBT = MONEY
​

Since 1971, the US dollars are no longer backed by gold and every currency in the world is backed by the US dollars - I'll let you figure that out.
