New Rich and New Russians - what's the difference? A new social group has appeared in Russia - the new poor Russians.

⁰

Work with pleasure! Have free time! Travel all year round! To be rich! Isn't this what most people in the world dream about?

As usual! Most people just dream. And only a FEW DO everything to make their dreams come true.

But NOT everyone who becomes rich gains true freedom! These include the Old Rich.

Old Rich.

The Old Rich measure their wealth only by the amount of money they own. Whoever has more millions is richer.

The Old Rich devote 24/7 to their business. Some even live at work in the literal sense of the word. They specially create a mini-apartment inside an office building so that they can always be close to their brainchild.

The Old Rich are tied to a specific place. They cannot be absent from the workplace for a long time. They cannot travel long distances for long periods of time. And if they return from business trips, they are faced with a rush of problems that have accumulated during their absence.

The Old Rich base their business entirely on their personality. And all processes within the company directly depend on the actions of the owner himself.

In the end, it would seem that there is money. And perhaps even IN EXCESS! But there is NO TIME to spend them! The Old Rich are bound hand and foot by TIME and MOBILITY. The Old Rich don't know what FREEDOM is!

New Rich.

But the New Rich have the opportunity to make any of their dreams COMPLETELY come true!

The New Rich work with pleasure! If, of course, it can be called work. For them, work is their FAVORITE activity.

The New Rich have FREE TIME! The New Rich are constantly coming up with every possible way to reduce their working hours to just a few hours a week. And what is more surprising, the New Rich know HOW to make the day “rubbery”. Ordinary people are knocking for 24 hours. And the New Rich have as many hours as they want! The secret is that the New Rich skillfully use the opportunities of outsourcing.

Want to know WHAT is outsourcing? HOW to use it? And HOW to explain all this clearly to your children? So click on the button “I want to be aware of all events!” in a special form on the right! And then you will definitely NOT miss anything!

The New Rich have MOBILITY. They can manage their affairs from anywhere in the world. They are not tied to a specific place. The New Rich were given this opportunity by mobile communications and the Internet.

The New Rich call KNOWLEDGE “the new money.” Because they easily extract any amount of money from their own heads. That is why the New Rich consider investing a large amount of money in their heads one of their main investments!

If you ask the New Rich: “I have $10,000. Where should I invest them? Most likely they will answer you: “IN YOUR HEAD! Invest in your education! And then, if used correctly, it will bring you millions of dollars in profit.”

The New Rich LIVE and ENJOY their lives. Because they have FREEDOM! And it is achieved with the help of three main elements: KNOWLEDGE, TIME, MOBILITY. We have already discussed each of them above.

I recently read somewhere that forums as a means of communication between like-minded people have already become obsolete... People prefer to communicate and make friends on social networks.

On the other hand, this is an innovation that appeared not so long ago, so few people understand the ethics of communication, and therefore do not observe it. And few people think that “they don’t interfere with someone else’s monastery with their own rules.”

Those. any page or profile on social media. networks - the same apartment/house, a sacred place where the spirit and atmosphere created by the owner hovers...

And then THEY appear... and begin to walk in dirty shoes on the freshly washed floors of the home. Either they post advertising links, then they add incomprehensible content to groups... and you get a whole heap of letters with notifications about various crap.

A week ago I was added to a group with the loud name “Secrets of the New Rich”. I had not heard of such a cross-section of the population, I was not familiar with their secrets, so I decided not to leave the group, but to observe the development of events.

Having received a dozen links to all sorts of means of earning money in the form of MLM and info-business fly-by-night stories, recordings of speeches by apparently the new rich, as well as good morning wishes, I asked a question that was reasonable in my opinion, and I quote:

Or maybe a frivolous question... who is being added to this group: who has already BECOME the new rich or the one who is striving for this? Both of them, for example, have little to do with me. And to many people I know here too. What is the point of this group?

And I received a response from one of the group members:

Lady Alla: As I see, few people supported this statement, therefore, not so many of your friends are disgusted with counting money. And if you are so disgusted with being a wealthy person, then there is NO PROBLEM, you can leave... It is impossible to give by force - you can only take away by force, and no one is going to take anything away, but also to push it in by force!

I will not comment on my attitude towards those who, instead of answering a direct question, quickly get personal and think out what they themselves are missing.

Two phrases caught my attention: IT IS HORRIBLE TO COUNT MONEY and IT IS HORRIBLE TO BE A WEALTHY PERSON.

Let’s take them as a starting point to consider how limiting beliefs work and at what stage the substitution of concepts occurs.

1. Who hates counting money?

To those who consider money “dirty”, “unworthy”, “unspiritual”.

A fairly common trend among those who follow the spiritual path of development. Ascension, raising vibrations, expanding consciousness, in their opinion, is incompatible with material values.

But a master is one who has found the balance of the material and spiritual.

It is noteworthy that America, the ancestor of the entire New Age movement, experienced a crisis of spirituality 10 years ago.

From their own experience, through trial and error, they came to the conclusion that it is impossible to be a spiritual person and treat the world of matter, including money, without respect.

What can a person give who has reached a certain level of spiritual development, but is at the same time a beggar, constantly struggling to survive?

Will he be able to fulfill his destiny: to be a leader of a new era, to lead by example, if he himself is faced with the urgent question of how to pay the rent or how to feed himself and his children?

Who needs such an example? And who would want to follow such a person?

Are you interested in listening to the ravings of a person ranting about the New Earth, the 5th dimension, abundance and prosperity, if he himself has NOTHING except fantasies?!

Another illusion that many fall into looks like this: I serve the planet/humanity, I work on her/his healing, I am a conductor of high frequencies and vibrations.

Oops! We live on a completely material object, a planet called Earth, which is in the density of the THIRD dimension, the most physical of all.

Which you share and which you receive because of the divine work you do.

And in order to conduct higher frequencies, a person must be firmly ANCHORED in physical reality. In other words, it must be connected with the world of matter.

How can he do this if he floats high in the clouds and has long lost his connection with the three-dimensional Earth.

What is the way out?

Learn to appreciate not only spiritual values, but also material ones. Loving unconditionally is not only a spiritual principle, but also an integral attribute of the third dimension, i.e. MONEY.

2. Be wealthy

Let's look at this point.

What do you mean by “being wealthy”? Have a fortune? And what should be the size of this fortune so that you can confidently call yourself a wealthy person?

Personally, for me, a wealthy person is someone who has more than what is necessary to meet their basic needs.

If you need, for example, $1000 to live comfortably, and you have more every month, then you are already a wealthy person. Because you can afford something beautiful, travel, vacations in overseas countries, etc.

But for some, basic needs include $10,000, and then earning $8 thousand (quite a considerable amount, you must agree) he will feel unhappy, constantly living in survival mode.

So any numbers are relative.

And the last nuance for today: money cannot be the goal in life. Especially in the coming 2012.

This is where . If you want to help yourself, your loved ones, want to help many awakening people, it will be easier for you to do this if you are not limited by money.

Just imagine how many more opportunities open up for you if you can freely invest the money at your disposal... in trips, seminars, websites, centers... in anything.

What would you do, what would you do, if you had all the means necessary to do it?

Anything can happen in life, and each of us has to face unusual circumstances and tests of strength and willpower. This is how you can recognize the real you.

website collected stories from the sites “Overheard” and Pikabu about people who cope with non-standard life situations with dignity.

She worked as a designer, studied, rented an apartment, provided for a bat. There was only enough money for an apartment, food and a mouse. One day my entire salary was stolen on the bus. I’m walking, crying and suddenly I see: a wallet. I open it, and there is money 3 times more than my salary. At first I thought I was lucky, but then I felt ashamed. Maybe the person has the same situation as me. There was a business card of a certain Sergei in the wallet. I called the phone on it. Sergei turned out to be the driver of a wealthy man. He thanked me, and then it turned out that his boss needed a designer for his new house. Then to his friends... I was paid an advance on the very first day - my double salary! And most importantly, the mouse is happy.

Mom told me how she passed the exam. She pulled out a ticket, but only knows one of two questions. She came out and said: “Can I start with the second question?” The professor was surprised, but allowed it. Mom answers, and then another teacher comes in and asks the professor to come into the department. He came out and said: “Then you will take it from her, she has already answered one question.” The teacher sits down, the mother, not at a loss, begins to retell the same question. They gave it "excellent".

I always tried to diversify my life with some kind of movement, so as not to seem boring to others. Climbing wall? Please, and climb higher, too. Jump with a rope? Give me two, I jumped off the 83-meter pipe. An open cabin on a Ferris wheel? Spit and grind. But in fact, I’m still pissed: I’m afraid of heights and I’m still a hypochondriac. Sitting down on the mind-blowing attraction once again, I show everyone “class” with two fingers, and silently pray and cry.

My wife and I are polyglots. I know 9 languages perfectly, she knows 7. And it’s a complete thrill. We travel to different countries, communicate with locals in their language. Many are pleased, some do not even immediately understand that we are foreigners. But the coolest thing is that my wife and I can always talk in a language that others won’t understand. This is our favorite Russian-Japanese-Dutch mixture, incomprehensible to no one in the world.

In 3rd grade we went to the cinema with our friends. Before the session we went down to the river. I was wearing beautiful ballet shoes. At first we threw “pancakes” into the water, and then we played around and began throwing stones into the waves with our feet. In one such throw, one shoe slipped into the water and began to sink. They couldn’t reach him with a stick, they just pushed him further from the shore. I'm in tears. A guy was walking by, saw us, walked into the waist-deep water in expensive trousers, took out a shoe and put it on my foot. I felt like Cinderella.

By the age of 30 she became a successful woman. She raised her son, worked as a manager in a large company, traveled... Until she broke her leg. And time seemed to stand still: I don’t need to go anywhere, go - not to the store, not to the bank, not to work. Don't go anywhere at all. I started reading books that had long been collecting dust on the shelf, watching movies, and working remotely at a time convenient for me. At the end of my sick leave, I realized that I didn’t want to return to that ordinary world. I quit my job, started working as a taxi driver at night, and earned extra money by typing and translating. I only go to the store at night when no one is there. And it's such a thrill! I decided that I needed to take breaks in life, gain strength, watch sunrises and eat ice cream at night on the embankments.

Everyone asks why I have recently become so active, cheerful, and cheerful. And she already jumped with a parachute, flew on a paraglider, got a tattoo and flew to India with her last money. Everyone likes the new me. And no one knows that a month ago I overcame cancer and life for me now is the greatest happiness.

I met a guy in line to get a passport. We spent about 6 hours there, we were already like family to each other. Then we went for a walk with him. We walked until dawn, chatting about everything. We arrived at my house at 6 am. And so he asks me for my phone number, takes out his phone, and it’s dead. I don’t have a piece of paper or a pen with me, and there’s no one to ask for it. He looked around, dragged a log of considerable size and found a coal on the ground. And with this coal I drew my phone number on the log. He threw the log over his shoulder and went home. His mother was stunned: he left to get his international passport in the afternoon, the phone was turned off, he showed up at 6 in the morning, happy, brought some kind of log and said: “Don’t touch it until the morning.”

In the theater, as a rule, the actors do not learn texts that can be read, but read them from the sheet. I don’t remember the name of the play, but the gist is that during the course of the scene a messenger runs in and hands the king a letter with the words: “Your Majesty, there is a letter for you!” The king unrolls the scroll and... oh horror, there is no text there (colleagues made a joke)! He was an experienced artist, so he returned the scroll to the messenger with the words: “Read, messenger!” The actor playing the role of the messenger was also no stranger. He gives the letter back and replies: “Illiterate, Your Majesty!”

I’ve been working as a waitress for three years now, I’ve seen a lot of things: there were drunk people, crazy people, people didn’t pay the bill, and they left exorbitant tips. But the man who ordered coffee for himself and a rare steak for the little lion cub sitting in his arms definitely outdid everyone else.

I live on the 2nd floor. My birthday is in the summer. One day I was sleeping and heard loud noises. I open my eyes and through the balcony door I see flowers in the windows and hands pounding on the glass. I get up and realize that in the other room these sounds are coming from the windows and in the kitchen. Friends who adore rocks (they all have equipment) decided to congratulate me in this unusual way this morning. I opened the windows - bouquets flew in, followed by friends. I will not forget the happiness of that day!

Recently I was riding with a driver I knew on a minibus in the first seat, and we got stuck in a traffic jam. He saw that the second lock next to the truck body was not secured, just on the side of our minibus. This could threaten the load falling and an overall emergency situation. It was dark, and the driver would not have seen it in the rearview mirror. An acquaintance tried to get closer a couple of times to get this lock, but in the end he got it - extended his hand and secured it as needed. At that moment I thought that often good things happen to us, someone’s hand saves us from a dangerous situation, and we don’t even know it.

"New Poor Russians"
Poverty in Russia has changed its face

A new social group has appeared in Russia - the new poor Russians. These are actively working people who, nevertheless, cannot provide for themselves. This conclusion was reached by the participants of the round table held on Friday in the Federation Council. According to experts, even the “poverty threshold” set by the government at 2,137 rubles is actually the threshold of poverty. Therefore, contrary to official statistics in Russia, 30% of the population is poor and 35% are poor, that is, “two thirds of the population of Russia live either in poverty or on the brink of it.”

“These are not poor people - these are poor people!”
On Friday, the Federation Council Committee on Social Policy tried to calculate how many poor people there are in Russia. Official statistics on this issue are based on the government-established minimum living wage of 2,137 rubles. According to Goskomstat, today 23.3% of Russians live below the poverty line. Independent studies show more depressing results. According to a survey by the Public Opinion Foundation, 27% of Russians earn less than 1 thousand rubles per month per person, and 38% earn from 1 to 2 thousand. That is, 65% of the population is below the poverty line.

Senators and experts do not agree, however, either with the size of the living wage itself, or with who should be considered poor in Russia.

“2137 rubles is an unacceptably low level! - said deputy chairman of the committee Igor Kamenskoy. “People whose incomes exceed the subsistence level, for example, one and a half times, should be considered poor, since they are able to satisfy only the most basic needs.” David Shavishvili, director of the Institute of Social Policy at the Academy of Labor and Social Relations, was more categorical: “We usually call people poor who have incomes below the subsistence level. By all Western definitions, these are not poor - these are poor people! And the poor are those whose incomes exceed the subsistence level twice."

According to experts, 35% of the Russian population can safely be classified as poor, and 30% as poor. But 5% goes to the rich and super-rich.

Moreover, “the face of poverty is changing”: if traditionally the poor in Russia were the disabled, pensioners, large and single-parent families, now a special class has emerged - the new poor. “These are people who are actively working and yet cannot provide for themselves,” said Rimma Kalinichenko, program coordinator at the International Labor Organization (ILO) in Moscow.

“What to distribute?”
“We have set a deadline for overcoming poverty - 3-5 years. But is it possible to overcome poverty at all? - asked the deputy chairman of the committee Andrei Shmelev. - There is an opinion that the state should fight poverty with the help of the distribution function. But the question is, what to distribute?”

Here opinions are divided. David Shavishvili advised to pay attention to the oligarchs: “Half of the oligarchs’ income came from underpaid salaries.” In his opinion, it is possible to end “preferential conditions for employers” and overcome mass poverty of the population by establishing a basic salary standard of 8,500 rubles.

Representatives of the ILO also complained. “It’s difficult for us to fight poverty, because when we go to Geneva and ask for help, they tell us: “You will decide: either your country is a member of the G8 or poor,” said Rimma Kalinichenko. However, sometimes international organizations become generous with the new poor Russians. “We recently launched one of the programs in the Northwestern District,” Kalinichenko boasted.

There was laughter in the hall: “Of course, St. Petersburg is our poorest region!” “I specifically went to Geneva to ask for help in the Far North! This is where real poverty is! But the ILO did nothing! She helps St. Petersburg,” Mikhail Nikolaev, who represents Yakutia in the Federation Council, quipped.

"We need to find a survival formula for the people"
Lyudmila Rzhanitsyna, a professor at the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, put an end to the dispute: “We must show the will: stop the reduction of the unified social tax, bring the minimum wage to the subsistence level. Eliminate the income tax on the minimum wage! You talk about poverty and you yourself cut off 13% from these 600 rubles!” The senators became embarrassed and turned away.

Rzhanitsyna continued: “Do you know that our child benefit is 70 rubles?! What can you buy with them?

However, the government is well aware of the meagerness of the benefits. “You can’t live on 70 rubles, but even if we double the benefits, what is 140 rubles? They won't give anything. And for the budget, such an increase will cost an additional 22 billion rubles,” Deputy Prime Minister Galina Karelova told the GAZETTE. Therefore, she believes, “we need to find a survival formula for people that would allow them not to rely only on benefits.”

The “survival formula” that the senators came up with is unlikely to satisfy the government: increase the minimum wage to the subsistence level, which will require not 22 billion rubles from the budget, but a couple of trillions.

In such a situation, the only consolation can be the psychological resilience of our people. According to VTsIOM-A polls, 80% of Russians stubbornly consider themselves to be in the middle class, although most of them are below the “threshold of poverty.”

B rich before and now. Ten to fifteen years ago, a person was called rich for his possession of material assets: capital, gold, shares, real estate, etc. Most often, when it came to the rich, they were called “new Russians.” This name has a certain image and image attached to it.

IN from what is written about the meaning of this phrase in Wikipedia " New Russian(new Russians) is a cliché denoting representatives of the Russian social class who made a large fortune in the 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a new type of entrepreneur. Not all new Russians are ethnically Russian. Having originally appeared as a neutral designation, the term soon after its appearance began to be used in a negative and ironic meaning: new Russians are people who quickly became rich (usually in a dubious or illegal way), big tycoons - mafiosi, but do not have a high level of intelligence, culture and , despite their wealth, using the vocabulary and manners of the lower social classes from which they originated.”

IN Times are changing and the concepts of “rich” and “wealth” are also undergoing changes. The term " new rich" appeared thanks to the book by Timothy Ferriss « How to work four hours a week » .

N The Internet started these changes. With his arrival in our lives, people got the opportunity to learn more in a unit of time, as well as transfer their knowledge very quickly. Those who realized this quickly freed themselves from hired work and learned to manage many processes even from a mobile phone.

N The New Rich know how to get rich with the help of the Internet, and this gives them the opportunity to travel a lot, and even change their place of residence. Even those people who, although still employed, have remote work, have been able to create wealth with the help of the Internet. Most likely, this is a job with a flexible schedule. They use the freed time for personal development, professional and spiritual knowledge.

B Most of the New Rich have created well-functioning businesses that do not require much intervention. In these circles, time, money and freedom are of particular value. Having freedom, you can get time; having time, you can get knowledge; having knowledge, you can get money.

H The more valuable knowledge is, the easier it is converted into currency, and this conversion does not depend on the exchange rate of the dollar and euro, “internal” money is always valuable, it is impossible to lose it.

C The abundance of free time has increased greatly - after all, money cannot buy time. If you don’t have time, then you won’t get new knowledge, which means there will be nothing to convert.

N The new Rich are confident in themselves and the future, and are in a great mood. The worst dream for the New Rich will be the dream of
