Ordinary people crossing social classes may only have this one path left ... Many people call for class stratification and say that the upward path has long been locked, which sounds heart wrenching but not entirely true. If we were to leap from the middle class to a millionaire with millions of assets, the difficulty would indeed be like climbing a cliff; But if you go from the bottom to the junior middle class with a monthly income of over 30000 yuan and stable accumulation, it's actually within your reach - you're afraid that someone might end up being trapped first, Saying every day that you are just a poor person, don't mess around. At least you won't starve to death while working, and those who start businesses will have their families destroyed. Only those with fixed minds can truly be poor and stable. I never advocate working for a long time, not because it's embarrassing, but because the ceiling of this path is too obvious. Which of the few senior workers who earn millions or tens of millions of dollars a year has not stepped on the dividends of the times? With the Internet 20 years ago and new energy 10 years ago, they were able to earn high salaries, relying more on the share dividends of the company than on dead wages alone. But now it's different, there are crowded incremental fields everywhere, and working with the idea of waiting for the big wind and making quick money is likely to only make you busier and more anxious. More importantly, the majority of people who work suffer from low-level hardships - repetitive labor, passive weaknesses, and the more diligent they are, the more trapped they become in the cage of hardship, unable to accumulate the capital to cross social classes. When it comes to grassroots counterattacks, some people may count the paths of education, demolition, marriage, fame, and entrepreneurship, but if we really count them carefully, there are few that are suitable for ordinary people. Those who relied on reading to make a comeback basically completed it 10 years ago: Rural children go to big cities for exams and buy houses to take root, but now their education levels have reached undergraduate level, and there are many master's degree holders like dogs. People with ordinary education levels find it difficult to even afford the down payment for buying a house, and it has become common for them to miss out on their talents; Demolition is a lottery ticket for reincarnation. It depends on luck rather than hard work. If you want to rely on this counterattack, it's better to hope for a pie to fall from the sky; Taking shortcuts through marriage is even more outrageous. The stories of Phoenix men marrying high and Cold Sparrow women marrying high are ultimately in the minority. Gambling one's life on others, there is no sense of security; Becoming famous is a rare event. For someone like Zhao Liying who did not make a comeback, how many people's blood and tears are behind it? What about entrepreneurship? Watching Li Jiaqi soar through the live streaming trend, many people have not seen the cruelty of dividing the industry's meat soup - entrepreneurship is a game where risk and return are tied together, and a big one may result in losing everything. Ordinary people's ability to resist risks is simply unbearable; As for realizing grand ambitions, let alone the threshold for obtaining a master's degree from Tsinghua University or a 985 university, the intricacies and hidden rules of human relationships are beyond the reach of books, and ordinary people cannot even touch the door. From this round of observation, ordinary people who want to cross social classes may only have the option to invest in gold/BTC and accumulate from small amounts. The current era environment is indeed more difficult than 10 years ago, but which generation does not have their own difficulties? The wars of liberation and the displacement of people during reform have all come, haven't they? The key is not to get trapped in a victim mentality - always saying that the economic environment is not good is actually an excuse when there is no way to struggle; Always complaining about class solidification is actually being bound by the negative energy circle around you: if you are surrounded by people who complain without results, it is best to stay away quickly. People are products of the environment, and you need to break out of the bad circle first to find the right path. More importantly, it relies on long-term persistence, not luck - you don't need to step on the trend or build relationships, as long as you're not greedy or anxious, invest on time every month, and over time, you can naturally accumulate more. From having no assets to having small accumulations, and then holding onto the moat after earning over 30000 yuan per month, isn't this the real path for the bottom to cross over to the middle class? Why is it said that investing in gold/BTC is an opportunity for ordinary people? Because it just avoids the pitfalls of other paths: you don't need to have a high education or a good background, just spend a few hundred or thousands of yuan a month without affecting your life; Gold is a millennium old safe haven asset that can resist inflation and stabilize the market; BTC is an alternative asset in the digital age that can keep up with technological trends. When combined with regular investments, one can gradually accumulate their own assets without making big bets; Don't keep jumping back and forth between working and starting a business, and don't fantasize about achieving success in one step. Living oneself as a stable army, not pursuing overnight wealth, only focusing on accumulating small amounts - investing in gold/BTC is the most reliable way for ordinary people to cross the social ladder in this era of competing for stocks and authenticity.
