How to rise from low class to middle class?

[Unit1]

I'm kinda low class. How can I rise up to the middle class 🤔?
I am currently doing my bachelors (full time) and working full time.
And ja, I come from a poor background (starving, no social support, no financial support, lack of privacy, lack of clothing, almost no healthcare, no benefits and so on).
I am currently at the peak of my life in history in terms of class level.

Yet I am unhappy. Happiness is my top priority goal but to achieve that happiness I have to relocate and that is near impossible, which I am challenging almost literally daily.

First of all are you German?

And to answer your question, classes is a thing relative to martial statues and and goals, classes are not a stair with steps so if you think working a full job will do the trick then you are very wrong my friend.

Make your goals realistic..
That means to put a definition to your goals and clear path to it, so achieving happiness in not a very clear goal

If you do want to be happy does this happiness include starting a family or is it a the idea of having money?

I always wanted to be happy but the problem is i was never satisfied with what i have, i have money but i don’t know how to spend in a way that makes me happy

[Unit1]

Ja, i am German.
In order to get some basic happiness i need the money to be able to relocate from the east back to Europe to my home.
I want to see my European girls again.

Most people go from the bottom 5% of the income bracket to the top 5% just as a matter of peak earning years. As you gain work experience you gain human capital. (Your work becomes more valuable). Eventually you'll be able to earn enough that you're considered part of the upper income bracket. (at least most likely).

[Unit1]

And here I'm asking how to.

[EpicDweeb]

Gain human capital by working. Over time gaining experience just from working will result in your work becoming more valuable to an employer. Number one rule of moving up in the world... BE WILLING TO START LOW. If you're willing to work hard at whatever position you're placed in (even if it's wayy below the position you want) you will be the exception and you WILL be noticed. If you're willing to work harder than the other people in your position, you will rise above the position. If you have a specific field you'd like to work in, try for an internship the summer of your senior year. A bachelor's degree means little without experience, and some places don't hire without a bachelor's degree because of policy... therefore, get both. You'll be set for a better position in the work place starting out. Over time just working hard WILL make you more valuable as a worker and you will move up, just give it time and be patient for now.

[Unit1]

I see. Thanks for the tips.

I have an associates degree and that got me into a decent position at least 🤔

[Kakaile]

Graduate college.
Get a job.
Dont have kids before you're married.
Then you won't be poor.

[Unit1]

Done
Done (full time and past the internship)
I am childfree
Still kinda poor :( and no girlfriend

[Kakaile]

But you won't be eventually.

[Kakaile]

Watch Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro if you need more advice. Shapiro's formula is the one I stated and peterson has tons of videos on betterig yourself and becoming successful.

[JudgmentDay]

@Kakaile he does not want kids or marry. Although he still has the desire for a relationship with a lady that also don't want kids.

[Kakaile]

Okay just use lots of birth control. Why are you telling me this xD

[Unit1]

Because it's true?

[Kakaile]

Well id understand if you told me but I don't know why the other guy is xD im just confused.

[Unit1]

Judgmentday is my friend. He's just very far away, so I can't like go out with him.

[Kakaile]

Hm cool.

[Kakaile]

Thank you.

You'd have to innovate. I mean how did billionaires like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page got to where they're at? They sure didn't win a lottery and got where they are currently at overnight. Think of new and creative ways to provide solutions to problems. Or perhaps a solution to an existing problem that yet have to be resolved. Other than that, be vigilant and have due diligence about investing in investment opportunities. Like I had said, if I knew BitCoin would be worth the amount it is today and had I invested a significant amount of time, effort and money on it, I'd probably have very little to no financial worries and concerns today. But unfortunately, that window of opportunity is gone, and is unlikely to return any time soon, if ever.

You can't. Class is not determined by your wealth, but by your upbringing (essentially, your parents' wealth).
A successful footballer or rapper will still always be working class, no matter how much money they make - they'll just be "nouveau riche".

[Waffles731]

That's not how it is in the U. S that's just with your bullshit nobility over there

[Unit1]

Indeed. Since i grew up poorly i wanted to take charge since i was 13.
I'm still thinking how to rise up.

[madhatters4]

graduate. find an affordable place to live combined with an area with good jobs.

with a college degree it's reasonable to believe you can rather quickly move into the middle class at least

[Anonymous]

do you invest at all? I would suggest putting at least SOME money every month into some form of investments there. Let your money work for you while you work for more money.

[Unit1]

I'm doing that. Every do little i put aside.
But i wouldn't know how to make money work for me instead of the other way around in this capitalistic world.

[JudgmentDay]

Cryptocurrencies are the thing to look into and invest in these days.

I highly recommend you watch this video, it discusses how to become both wealthy and happy:

[jacquesvol]

A good degree+ hard work will do.

Find yourself a sugar momma or a sugar daddy.

Except the role of gold digging here would in the reverse.

[Unit1]

@JudgmentDay yeah. I don't like transactional relationships.
