THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE, PLEASE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH


The thing about being, wealthy is that it is more complex than we make it to be, when it comes to money we have this lottery mindset!! we want to win the lottery big time, from $10,000 to $10 million, only then will it be ok, we don’t know about assets nor do we want to know. We don’t want to work to become wealthy, the sad thing about what we do as a people is that we do like to impress other people with the little money we have,  we buy clothes, and buy cars to impress people. The thing about rich people, they don’t have to impress other people. Rich people don’t have to impress anyone and tell anyone they are rich,  if they are,  you will know, and if you don’t know it is probably not meant for you to know. Our idea of rich or wealthy is usually a music video or comes from TV, or these days the internet ( which has replaced TV). We think what we see is everyday life for high net worth individuals. I ask a question, Can anyone tell me what car Jay Z drove yesterday? Or any of the rich people we know or want to become. We would see him in a music video though driving a Rolls Royce or a  Ferrari but we don’t know what he drives every day!  He might be able to afford a Rolls Royce, or any other car in real life  but is that his everyday life .. Nope here is something we need to consider 

  1. Jeff Bezos, Amazon  Net worth $154.2 Billion, drives a Honda Accord  Base Model  Price $16,000
  2. Sergey Brin co-founder of Google, Net worth  $54.2 Billion drives a Toyota Prius, price $ 30,000.
  3. Larry Page  Co-founder  of Google, Net worth $55.5 Billion drives a Toyota Prius, Price $30,000
  4. Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook Net worth $64.6 Billion drives an Acura TSX price of 30,000.00, he also has a Volkswagen Golf GTI hatchback
  5. Number 5 for me takes the cake, he may not be living with us anymore but he understood that a car is only meant to get you from point A to point B, This man was the founder of Ikea and he died in 2018, which means he could afford any of the nice things we see. With a Networth of almost $60 Billion he can buy any car he wanted, his name is Ingvar Kamprad. He drove a 1993 Volvo 240 GL until his death!!

I think we can learn a thing or two, from these guys, they understand money very well !!!! we should be learning from them

Follow the money , The economics of the current times http://selfequanimity.com/follow-the-money-the-economics-of-current-times/ http://selfequanimity.com/follow-the-money-the-economics-of-current-times/#respond Sat, 06 Jun 2020 00:19:33 +0000 http://selfequanimity.com/?p=467 In recent times we have seen demonstrators and people protesting an event.  A sad event that took place on May 25th. we are told that the protest is about inequality or system inequality. It is almost as if people are venting because of the “house arrest” that we were put under a few weeks ago.  Inequality is a very vague term.  The funny thing is people actually fall for Vague terms all the time, which is a problem in itself.

George Floyd

We complain about inequality but the question is, is it something we really want ? or do we really want what other people have and we will take it from them if we get a chance, and we don’t care who we sacrifice.  I have said this already about black men being the sacrificial lamb for millions to come into a family.  I’m going to ask very difficult questions  but ill ask anyway.  What good has come out of all this especially when it comes to George Floyd’s family.?  How many people really care about George Floyd?

Floyd Mayweather

Recently there was a memorial held for George Floyd. Mr. Floyd got a very start-studded funeral, most of them are just virtue signaling, they don’t really care about George Floyd. The funeral according to some sources was paid for by Floyd Mayweather, the former boxing Champion.  According to some sources the funeral Cost around $88,000.00.

Elon Musk

The rapper Ludacris, Comedian/actor Kevin Hart, and many more. Tyler Perry gave his private jet to Rev. Al Sharpton so he could “safely travel” to the funeral. Tyler Perry also provided plane service to George Floyd’s family. According to ET Kanye West is donation $2 Million for Floyd’s family and he is starting a college fund for Floyd’s daughter John Legend pledge $200,000.00.

Serger Brin

According to gofundme over $12 million has been raized for the George Floyd Memorial fund.  It has been a very interesting year. First, we were told to stay home because of an outbreak and then the protest happens and everyone forgets about the outbreak and goes out anyway risking their health.

Steve Balmer

The other side of the coin goes like this, since March, the top 1% have made over $500 billion. the top 1% have their wealth up by 19%. Mark Zuckerberg has made more money since March than any of us will see in our lifetime. People who have made extra money are

Elon Musk

Sergey Brin

Larry Page

Steve Ballmer

Meanwhile  40 million people  have filed for unemployment. (Most of them black) I don’t know about you but it should be alarming when there is a lot of money moving around …. usually when that happens people become poorer and nothing ever changes in the system. If we are being told that they are fighting for systematic inequality, systemic racism and they say everything is systemic, then we need such a thing like a systemic protest. We need to come up with a plan for systemic protest.  it has been done before.

Larry Page

Just protests in the street won’t change much.  Looting is even worse, it benefits certain interests that the sensationalism continues, it benefits certain interests that the violence and looting continue, there is a saying that Sex sells, well, so does violence if you don’t believe me take a look at Hollywood !!!!!!!!!

Tyler Perry
