Cachet Dilution
"Being a six-figure earner once felt like an exclusive club, with the promise of a lavish life—but now those making over $100,000 are feeling the pinch. So much so that they’re even buying their groceries at dollar stores and ditching takeouts..."
"...the rising cost of living crisis has forced people in all tax brackets to watch their spending, causing anxiety..."
"The cost-of-living crisis has pushed the needle of wealth to a new high..."
"...inflation has increased living expenses across the board":
And then there are those who have been hunting down for chump-change for YEARS, which shows how DESPERATE they are.
These are the people who -- at least one of these is true -- never learned enough thriftiness and discipline to save, never gained a modicum of savviness and foresight to invest; have never worked in a company, publicly traded or otherwise, that was/is founded, owned, ran, OVERSEEN by Billionaire(s); never KNEW nor have ever wanted to know HOW to live within their means!
And this is why their whole beings and lifestyles are rooted in kleptocracy and larceny, always plotting and scheming to steal instead of honestly earning money.
The phrase honestly and earning and the concept of it do NOT interest them in any way because their whole existence is chicanerous and fraudulent.
They spend so much time racketeering, engaging in all sorts of organised or disorganised crimes, fortune-hunting-instead-of-building-and-preserving, etc when they could be LEARNING legitimate and marketable skills, and acquiring and accumulating useful knowledge that would make them serious money that they would be getting ALL on their own instead.
And this is why they would even KILL for itty-bitty piggy bank account levels, which is clearly a lot to them, because their "honour" is so CHEAP, if not wholly non-existent.
And they gobsmackingly INSIST that blood money is NOT cursed money, which they KEEP finding out the hard way!
By their inabilities to sleep well and eat zestily, and unwillingness to LEAD genuinely respectable, humble, orderly, peaceful, quiet, simple, and uncomplicated lives, YOU SHALL KNOW THEM.
