How to Embrace Poverty: A Humorous Guide to Financial Ruin
Written on
Chapter 1: The Imagined Future of Wealth
Picture yourself in the year 3090. Fast forward a millennium and sixty-six years from 2024, and humanity will likely have made incredible advancements in various fields. From technology to health, education to space travel, the future could be a marvel of innovation.
Imagine a world where discussions about alleviating poverty became obsolete centuries ago. Instead, society grapples with an "affluent dilemma," facing challenges that wealth brings along. However, it’s important to remember that with greater wealth often comes greater complications—“more money, more problems,” as they say.
In such a world, you might mistakenly think that being poor would lead to fewer challenges. After all, living in a time devoid of poverty may lead to a naive understanding of its realities. In this imagined future, humanity could have tackled the causes of poverty, such as discrimination and natural disasters, leaving no room for hardship.
Now, suppose you consult an advanced AI named Jarvis, inquiring about how one might achieve poverty.

How to Remain Poor for the Rest of Your Life
To kick off your journey to poverty, Jarvis might advise you to live beyond your financial means. Spend every cent you earn without reserve. Much like maintaining a healthy body requires moderation in food intake, achieving wealth demands saving and investing. Ignore any notion of delaying gratification; if you want the latest gadget or a lavish trip, go for it—especially if it’s out of your budget.
Section 1.1: The Art of Impulsive Spending
To truly embrace poverty, abandon any budgeting habits. Shop impulsively and spend every dollar, including those you haven’t yet earned. Accumulate high-interest debt, letting it pile up until you find yourself in dire financial straits.
Surround Yourself with the Right People
Jarvis would further suggest that you cultivate friendships with those who are even worse off than you. This way, you can easily adopt their habits and mindsets. If your circle consists of individuals who indulge in self-destructive behaviors or aspire to be impoverished, you'll find yourself heading down a similar path.
Section 1.2: Neglecting Personal Well-being
Jarvis would also remind you to disregard your health. Avoid any form of physical activity, forgoing exercise and self-improvement. Instead, waste time gossiping about others instead of focusing on personal growth or acquiring knowledge.

Moreover, you should refrain from helping others. Wealth often comes from serving and contributing to others' lives. To descend into poverty, never lend a hand to anyone, not even friends or family.
One clever strategy is to give away your financial details and let others make purchases on your behalf. This will surely accelerate your journey to financial ruin.
Finally, consider trading your time for low-paying jobs. Low-skilled labor rarely offers adequate compensation, and if you’re unable to enhance your skills, your earnings will fail to keep up with inflation, leading you into a cycle of stress and poor financial decisions.
In closing, if my insights seem too complicated, simply adhere to Jarvis's guidelines: live beyond your means, associate with those who drag you down, neglect your health, be self-centered, and choose low-wage work. If you do all this, you'll find that poverty will indeed become your closest companion.
