In our socio-economic system, class shifts have always been the focus of attention. But whenever we browse through all kinds of ** headlines, such as "It is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor familyTen years of cold windows for a monthly salary of 3,000The abyss of poverty cannot be extricated", and ".Why do you work hard in exchange for only pain?"And".Why is the education of parents uselessI can't help but feel a tightness in my heart. All the ** seem to be selling anxiety consciously or unconsciously, but few people delve into the reasons behind it. This article will try to get a personal perspective, **the reasoning behind this, as wellHow can we make a class leap from the identity of ordinary people?。Follow Xiao K every day to share with you the financial thinking that changes your cognition.
In today's society, whether you are a rich man or a person, if you trace your family history back to at least five generations, most of your ancestors should be farmers. Therefore, we might as well take a look at the social class changes in the feudal eraWhy were many peasants never converted into landlords? What is the reason behind this?
Let's analyze it in detail: in feudal society, it is mainly divided into two social classes: landlords and peasants. Why, then, is it difficult for a peasant to become a landlord? First of all, on the surface, the landlord owned a lot of land, while the peasants had little or no land and had to rent land and pay rent to make ends meet, and the productivity of agriculture in feudal society was very low, which made it difficult for the peasants to complete the primitive accumulation (surplus grain or money at home).
In addition, taxes in feudal times were levied on a per capita basis, rather than on property owned, which led to the increasing impoverishment of peasants with large family populations, making it more difficult to change status. Finally, in feudal societies, the peasant class was the most susceptible to the influence of human nature and social customs. When they encounter a time when the weather is smooth and there is no war, how will they act? It is nothing more than building a house, marrying a wife, adding clothes, and having children, but after careful observation, you will find that these are all consumption behaviors, and all the income is consumed, so how can you talk about savings? If you don't have savings, how can you buy land?
At the same time, the social habits of the class in which they live add fuel to the fire. Any peasant who tries to break the mold will become a laughing stock of his peers. They may be ridiculed, and even worse, they will be disciplined with religious rituals, such as "there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest", forcing them to build houses, marry wives, have children, and adopt children for the so-called "queen". All this is nothing more than to keep them stably trapped in the same class, accompanied by poverty.
It seems like an unsolvable dilemma, doesn't it? Could it be that in the thousand-year history of the continuation of the feudal system, there were no cases of peasants successfully turning into landlords? Of course not. In the movie "1942", Zhang Guoli played the exiled landlord with such a line: ".As long as I go to Shaanxi and give me ten years, I can still become the owner.
Oil magnate Rockefeller said something similar: ".Even if you strip me of nothing and throw me in the Sahara Desert**, I will be a billionaire again as soon as a caravan passes by。"Why are they able to go back from poverty to the old affluent class, and you find it unattainable? That's probably because you don't know how to get started. Actually, the answer is very simple, it is nothing more than the following ways:
The power of education: Education is an important way to make a class transition. Choosing the right major, the right school, and the right city are all opportunities that education brings. Reading books can train people's thinking, find quick solutions to problems, and even broaden their horizons. For example, the health care profession that will serve the elderly in the future, the artificial intelligence profession of the scientific and technological revolution, etc., will have the opportunity to take advantage of the trend by following the trend.
The choice of marriage: Marriage is also a way of class jumping. However, marriage is not a particularly good springboard, because nowadays men and women are not stupid, and their parents are not stupid, and neither do they want to find a family or individual who is worse than themselves.
Work abroad: People who lack academic qualifications and skills at the bottom can consider learning a professional blue-collar worker technology, and then find the right intermediary to work abroad, such as cooks, nursing staff, and decoration workers. Blue-collar incomes abroad are relatively higher than those at home, and it is easier to complete the original accumulation.
Step on the stroke outletFor example, catching up with the take-off of real estate, using leverage to speculate in real estate, tuning coins when everyone doesn't know Bitcoin, starting to do short-term when everyone doesn't know about micro-business, and doing micro-business when everyone doesn't know about micro-business. But this requires you to have keen insight and execution, and do it when the tuyere is not taking off, which is difficult for ordinary people to judge the tuyere and opportunities, you need to improve your cognition, continue to learn, and you can read books related to improving cognition.
Value investing: Take off with the power and trends of the platform. Join a little-known but promising company and accompany the company's growth. For example, he joined ByteDance, the parent company of Douyin, in 12 years, and joined Jack Ma's Alibaba in 01.
Meet the nobles: Find a noble person who is willing to take you into the industry or is willing to carry you, serve him, and he will give you a part of the resources or opportunities.
Collapse the field, collapse the city dimensionality reduction strike: Move popular foreign businesses to China, move domestic businesses to foreign countries, and move popular commercial projects in first-tier cities to second-tier cities.
Luck: Needless to say, such as buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot, encountering accidental events such as home demolition.
Make friends and keep an open mind: You will never see the opportunity to work in one place for a lifetime, and you must walk more and see more in your spare time.
Man, by his or her, is a creature that is particularly susceptible to being content with the status quo。From the moment we were born, everything we witnessed became a matter of course, and we accepted it without thinking about it, without questioning it. If we hadn't met people or circumstances that were so different from ours, we might never have thought about the world as it really is. Therefore, if ordinary people want to break the shackles of poverty or class, they must first bravely step out of their comfort zone and see the wider world.
The class jump is not an easy task, but as long as we areWe only need to control ourselves, so that our cognition is in place, and the unity of knowledge and actionYou will definitely find your own way. Let's work together to take control of the means of production, achieve a class leap and create a better future!
