      No, the reason that gas went down was in an attempt to get poor people that were having a hard time paying for gas in order to get to work to vote for Mccain with an end result that poor people would be just as screwed as they were under Bush.

      And if the Republicans are let back in office this time as seems to be something that could be likely, mark my words, the Republicans will put in no great programs for change that will assist poor people and that will keep things pretty much staus quo.

 

      I hope the poor will wake up this time though.

 

     Weren't you supposed to tell me a 100% effective plan for getting rich under the stipulations that I outline above?  I don't remember you doing so.

 

You are beyond help in understanding economic theory.

At any rate, your question about becoming rich/wealthy under the scenario you gave me:

Sure tell me how to get rich working at a backbreaking and soul destroying job for $8.00 an hour 40 hours a week when you have to pay for insurance, gas for your car if you have to drive very far to work, electricity, your apartment and other bills, while still being able to have enough time and energy for social, cultural, and intellectual development and fulfillment while the supervisors at your job are more concerned with their kids becoming the next big stars in the company rather than anyone else.

  1. See if there are better employment opportunities available in your area.
  2. If you cannot find another, better, job, then create one. Learn online marketing, blogging for cash, doing work on the side, ect. There are many ways you can generate alternate income. For example, you can take a personal day off of work (when applicable) to work elections like I did. You can also participate in online surveys for extra cash as well. My brother went from nothing to making $30,000 a month through affiliate marketing. He has no college experience, and merely dedicated some of his extra time to learning how to market.
  3. Reduce your insurance costs. Check with other companies to see if there are better rates out there. Do you have internet or a cell phone? Check carriers. I just cut my cell phone bill in half yesterday by calling my carrier to see if better rates exist.
  4. Reduce electricity usage as much as possible. See what ways you can make your home more efficient on the bills you pay.
  5. Create a budget. See exactly where your spending goes. Do you ever eat out for food? If so, stop it immediately and learn to cook at home. You will make, on average, $10 per hour that you spend in the kitchen vs. eating out at restaurants and fast food joints.
  6. Ensure your car has its tires inflated, and you are driving at or below the speed limit at all times to improve gas efficiency to reduce your effective gas prices.
  7. Spend some of that fulfillment time your talking about on generating income.

Those would be 6 ways I would begin to increase revenue, decrease costs, and create wealth by being able to save money back. If you want to, PM me your current budget and I can make suggestions to help earn more money. I have about $500,000 in assets now by working a soul sucking, back breaking $8.00/hr job so I am sure that you can make at least some changes to help yourself out.

 

 

Thanls for the tips.  However, it sounds like you didn't make that kind of money by simply moving up the company ladder of the company you were working for.  Do you know the odds that an average person has of becoming a bestselling author or recording artist or of creating the next big invention to become a household product?
