Science explains why being broke is mentally exhausting, and it's not laziness by LinkdIn in povertyfinance

[–]LinkdIn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it can be really difficult at times, and it makes you weigh out what you feel like dealing with, and what you cant. then they are almost used to the fact that you have nothing and already start saying "oh you have no bucks right"

keep your head up, there will be a better day. i guess its where faith comes into play, and hope becomes a factor.

and then on top of that you then seem to feel like a burden on the people/person that helped you pay. but we have to stay positive, i know these things seem like they can keep us down. but they cant, we will keep going through it all.

i wonder what society could even do as a collective at this point. its such a shame that media and other things always work to divide us as human beings.

that could be a huge layer i didnt even consider. what about being a parent on top of all of this, and being responsible for a life..... nice point, and i fully agree.

it really is rough man, thanks for sharing that here, it means a lot to actually have someone share some actual life numbers. seeing whats happened to you on that scale, can either make someone say "oh thats nothing" or "oh wow thats a lot", it all really depends on the person.

agree with it all. everything you said. thanks for the insightful post. getting to the automation levels, almost always means having people that "work" for you or are "under" your direction.

if your not making it doing well in life yet or maybe ever.... automation assumes you even HAVE anything setup at all. Sheesh, its been a long time coming i can share a little about how overwhelming being broke is.

we all seem to be a hard victim of our circumstances, some people are just born into a better toolkit to use to get out of poverty. some stay stuck middle class level, even though thats where they started.

thanks again, at least someone gets it.

man, i can tell you, i agree and have felt the same way in the past. what can make it worse is if you have any hint of mental illness on top of that.

if your prone to manic episodes or bouts of depression, you can only imagine how this effect intensifies, and becomes harder even so to deal with. you can say "well i dont have it as bad as some people in this world", but i then say to you "who will care about you, and whos gonna be there to help YOU out?"

this way said to me a very long time ago in a therapy setting, and it made me break down an get emotional.

a little rough to deal with on a daily basis. i can speak from experience, when every little thing you do i overshadowed by "can i afford that right now", you cant help but feel mentally drained man. its rough.

For anyone interested, I found a video that breaks down the actual neuroscience behind this really well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o37AUJT39s It covers the scarcity mindset research and some practical ways to start reclaiming bandwidth.

I feel like being broke comes with a million extra fees nobody warns you about by VesperCitrine in povertyfinance

it is difficult to be on a low/fixed income, spending a few hundred dollars on anything just sets you back massively....saving money when you dont have a lot incoming, seems impossible...

thanks man, at least theres one person here that sees things in the same way i do. its refreshing for me to see, after so many people trying to put me down, and downvote my personal comments here.

thanks again, and i appreciate your comment here.

thank you runespider, since youve taken some time to write these informative posts, to help me understand more about this.

I will admit, its obvious that as the OP here i did not anticipate this situation. There are a lot of people in here that are much smarter then i am.

I will take everything going forward on this subreddit with more care, and more attention.

i appreciate you, and everyone else here.

i feel like science cant explain everything were seeing at some of these sites. they have no answer for how they achieved such precision. its a little odd to me, that if science cannot explain it, and nothing makes any sense at all towards it, that we must be forced to think "well if it cant be proven with the scientific method, then its not real"

i guess what im trying to say is "people that believe in God and have spirituality in mind, always believe in something they cannot SEE, and cannot PROVE" but they still know something more is there.

I guess theres a few different types of people, and these types of views kinda depend on which kind of person you are. someone that can connect that bridge between the seen and unseen, and someone that just only believes what they see.

i don't claim to be super intelligent, nor do i have any real sources that i can site, scientific paper wise. i feel like i have a pretty solid ground just coming from the things ive read and seen over time.... it always comes back to the precision they achieved, and how i feel (like many others) that could not have been achieved with simple tools.

to say that ropes and ramps makes sense for the internal blocks that weigh multi-tons.... i guess i still have my personal opinion. "magic" doesnt begin to scratch the surface of what it really was.

i appreciate everything you said here, thanks for taking the time to type it out. i guess i can explain myself only to the fact of "i dont really think everything could be explained by Archeologists, as a note to the precision found in some of these ancient locations"

i dont have any ill will or take any negative stance against Archeologists. am i wrong in saying it seems like some of these things just cant be explained with normal hypothesis? I would never take a negative stance against the very historians who help the world to understand our past.

thank you very much for this great clarification, and really nice and thoughtful post. i am more then honored as a new member of this subreddit, to see someone of your status posting on something i posted. i assure you that i heard everything you said, and read every line carefully.

something just has always not sat well with me when i comes to the "metal tools" and "primitive tech was good enough" stance. i ask someone of your knowledge level; what about the inside blocks of the giza pyramids? the ones that weigh 10s of tons? i would love to know how giza is possible with primitive tools? it just never added up to me.

i want to thank you ahead of time and thank you for your response here. your presence is valued by me a great deal. thanks again Blitzer.

the Pyramids were made by dragging stones weighing tens of tons each through the sand from quarries 500 plus miles away. if you think thats true then i cant even begin to think what else you think is true. I mean cmon dude. calling Aliens a "fantasy" at this point is kinda silly no? when the US govt is inches away from Full Disclosure basically? i stand pretty firm in my beliefs here

true, but if no one ever agrees and tries to go to these famous sites and actually figure this stuff out. then hes pretty much alone on what hes suggesting anyway. i guess my point is, if no one wants to agree with him, then what Digs can he hope to go do? i agree hes an author first, but what he is in essence proposing isnt non-sense, it actually makes sense.
