Just one piece of advice for the next few years: don’t tell anyone how much you have in savings
This is an era when it is not easy to make money, and the atmosphere is extremely violent.
If you can make money, no matter how hard and tiring you are, you won’t have much anger. On the contrary, if it is difficult to make money, even if you pay, you may not get anything, and then the person’s anger will become more intense.
As long as you pay attention to the news in recent years, you will find that the conflicts between people are becoming more and more serious. There are more and more conflicts between people.
Give an example from daily life. In the circle of friends, some people will hate you if you post pictures showing where you went on vacation. At the end of the year, if you take a screenshot of how much money you made, some people will hate you.
You don’t understand, where I go on vacation and how much money I make, that’s my business, what does it have to do with them?
If you don’t tell others, then everyone will be fine. But if you speak out and let others know, others will feel “envy, jealousy, and hatred” towards you.
There is a very interesting marvel.
Nowadays, a group of netizens will attack anyone who shows off how rich he is on the Internet. Even if they don’t know each other, they will still be enemies, just like they have a deep hatred.
If you say you have millions of assets, others will think you are unscrupulous; if you say you have tens of millions of assets, others will think you are rich and unkind and should go bankrupt;
If you say you have assets of over 100 million, others will regard you as an enemy and think that your existence is a mistake… In other words, we have now entered an era of “hatred of the rich.”
Take “programmer” as an example. You are a programmer with an annual salary of 30,000 to 400,000. Others think that it is because of programmers like you that the gap between people has widened, and it is all your fault.
Take “people who open online stores” as an example. You are the owner of an online store and you make serious money online. Others think that it is because of you people who open online stores that offline stores cannot survive.
Think about it, has all this become more common in recent years? It’s not becoming more common, but it’s everywhere. Regarding money and interests, the contradiction has reached the point of being irreconcilable.
“Don’t worry about scarcity but worry about inequality; don’t worry about poverty but worry about insecurity.”
If everyone is poor together, he will be mentally balanced, you will be mentally balanced, and there will be no conflicts between everyone. Now, if you are rich and he is still poor, then he will hate you and feel that your existence is a mistake.
Most conflicts are related to “psychological imbalance”. When you see others living in luxury houses, you envy them; when you see others driving luxury cars, you become jealous of others; when you see others who are rich and powerful, you feel envy, jealousy, and hatred.
In the past, this kind of “psychological imbalance” conflict was not too serious. Because the Internet was underdeveloped in the past, there were relatively few channels for information dissemination, and people did not know the outside world.
Now that the Internet has developed and there are more channels for information dissemination, people are gradually learning about the lives of rich and powerful people from short videos. The seeds of envy, jealousy, and hatred took root and sprouted from this.
If it is easier to make money, envy, jealousy, and hatred will not be too serious. The problem is, that it is not easy to make money nowadays, and the situation of envy, jealousy, and disdain for others is even more serious.
In the future, as involution intensifies, it will only become more difficult to make money. This is destined to make the showy middle class the target of low-income attacks.
For the next few years, there is only one piece of advice: don’t tell anyone how much money you have in savings.
We must remember one sentence: We are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid of thieves missing us. Don’t be afraid of the thief caring about you, just be afraid of the thief working hard.
If you tell others that you have tens or even millions in savings, someone must be thinking about your money. Maybe, others will defraud you of your money through marriage; they may harvest your money through investment schemes.
Of course, not everyone has the means to harvest other people’s money. At this time, you need to pay attention to whether there is a dangerous group of people around you who are alone and go to extremes.
For example, a boss is rich and powerful, but he accidentally offends an employee. The employees were so angry that they fought against the boss, even to the point of exchanging one for one.
Do you think it’s the boss who loses or the employees? The boss must have lost money. The employees are alone and have nothing, the boss is raising a family, and there is no enjoyment of wealth.
This also illustrates a truth: there may be a certain degree of unfairness between the rich and the poor. But to be fair, everyone only has one life. Employees have no money and only one life. No matter how rich the boss is, he only has one life.
The same is true even among relatives, brothers, sisters, and friends.
If you let your relatives and friends know how much savings you have, I believe these relatives and friends will ask you to borrow money. If you don’t borrow it, they will kidnap you morally, cause you trouble, and embarrass you.
Even if your relatives and friends don’t ask you to borrow money, they know that you have made a lot of money, have a house and a car, and have achieved certain achievements, they will look down on you and hope that you will be unlucky soon.
People all have a mentality — they want others to live well, but they don’t want others to live better than themselves.
For example, if someone else earns 300,000 dollars and you earn 200,000 dollars, he will be very happy and treat you very well. On the contrary, if someone else makes 300,000 dollars and you make 350,000 dollars, then he will be very angry, even angrier than if he lost money.
When it comes to making money, you must know how to make money silently. When it comes to living your life, you must know how to enjoy it quietly. Not letting others know your situation is the way to stay stable and protect yourself.
