But that doesn't mean that people of a lower socioeconomic status have to stay there forever. "The opposite is also true. Poor people can't understand why rich people don't just give away their money either," Johnny added. "We're lucky to live in an age where anyone with access to information, the internet, and technology can create their own paths. Similar to how I have, from going up in a poor immigrant family, to starting an online business while living frugally, to now having over $1 million in retirement savings."

Commuting by bus EVERY day.
Shop at thrift stores out of necessity
Don't go to Taylor Swift concerta
Deep cleaning their house by themselves
Own the same car for over 10 years.
