How to deal with this? How to change?

>how to deal with this
stop asking this question. your life is literally exactly the same as it was an hour ago, a day ago, whatever. its the same. you just got a new label.
>how to change
most people would say finding a job that pays well enough, and of course getting the education necessary. stlil no guarantee in todays world.

It's not just about the label. It's a very convincing explanation of why the poor often stay poor and the rich stay rich. It would be an improvement for my life to change mentalities to something that is much more beneficial for the long-term. I already have education and a job.

if you are financially stable and happy then it doesnt matter what the label is. if you want to do better go for it.
>already have education and a job
the job doesnt pay enough apparently, and the education does not supply you with a job that pays well enough apparently. unless you are on track for promotion, go get another education. if you are on track for promotion or have potential to grow, then focus all your energy on that.

You're right, I have neither. My degree is worthless (my own fault for picking it and sticking to it), my job makes peanuts, and I spend my money very irresponsibly. I blew $200 this last weekend.

yep. figure out what you need / want to do and pray its not too late.
one thing to also consider is how 'worth' it your time is. I could make more money by picking up visual effects gigs, but honest to god i hate doing that. its not worth it. id rather be poor and spend my time doing free things.

Don't live your life based on a chart such as this.
Also, "wealthy" traits all sound douchey as hell. Why anyone would desire to be that petty and materialistic is beyond me.

Whoa. This chart manages to be horribly offensive to all three of the mentioned classes at once. Seriously, what in the actual fuck.
