Welcome to my channel.

Let's practice your listening skill.

With video level B2 and the topic is economy.

Now listen carefully.

Hey Anna, here's your coffee.

You look completely exhausted today.

Long morning?

Thanks Tom.

I really need this.

I just had a meeting with my manager.

I've been staring at my computer for five hours straight.

Oh, the annual performance review.

Did you finally get that promotion you asked for?

Well, yes and no. They gave me a fancy new title and a lot more responsibilities.

But the salary increase is almost a joke.

It barely covers my gas and coffee money.

I feel like I give this company so much of my time and energy, but it never feels fair.

It is so frustrating, right?

But you know, hearing you say that reminds me of an article I read last night.

It completely changed how I think about our jobs.

It said your boss doesn't actually pay you for your time or your hard work.

Really?

Then what is he paying me for?

My good looks?

I wish.

No, he pays you just enough to make sure you show up to work again tomorrow.

Wait, what do you mean?

Like, just enough to keep me from quitting?

Exactly.

Think about the logic of it.

If he pays you too much, you'll get rich, quit and start your own company.

You might even become his competitor.

True.

And if he pays me too little, I'll just pack my things and find a better job right away.

So he keeps you trapped right in the middle.

You earn enough to survive, pay your rent, and buy some nice food, but you never have enough to actually escape.

Wow, that is a very dark way to look at it.

But Tom, isn't that just normal business?

It is basic supply and demand.

The company has to make a profit.

They call it a job, Anna, but it's actually a brilliant system.

Your hard work, your stress, and your time create the real wealth.

The boss takes the massive profit, and what do you get?

A stable salary and health insurance?

No, you get the crumbs left over.

And they just wrap it up nicely and call it a salary.

Okay, hold on.

You are forgetting one thing.

Risk.

The boss takes all the risk.

He invested the money, he built the company, and if the company goes bankrupt, he loses everything.

I just do my job and get paid safely every month.

I agree with the risk part.

But let's go back to your meeting today.

When you work hard, they sell you this dream of a promotion.

They tell you it's the path to financial freedom.

But is it?

Well, I hope so.

Getting promoted means earning more money.

Is it really freedom?

Or is it just a shinier cage?

A shinier cage?

What do you mean by that?

Think about it.

You get a 10% raise, right?

But suddenly, your stress doubles.

You have to answer emails at 9pm.

And because you earn more, you start buying more expensive clothes.

You eat at nicer restaurants.

And maybe you buy a new car on credit.

Ah, lifestyle inflation.

My income goes up, but my expensive lifestyle eats all the extra money.

so my rent for living gets higher.

Exactly.

You are still trapped.

Your boss doesn't need you to be rich, Anna.

He needs you to be dependent.

Because a dependent worker is a loyal worker.

If I have a heavy mortgage and expensive bills to pay every month, I can't just quit when I'm angry.

I have to stay and obey.

Right.

Free people walk away.

Dependent people stay.

That is the whole trick of the system.

Honestly, Tom, this conversation is making my coffee taste bitter.

It makes me feel like a wage slave.

Are we just stuck in this loop forever?

Not if you wake up.

You just have to play their game differently.

How?

I still need money to live.

Treat your job like a tool, not your whole life.

Take the salary, but don't buy the shiny cage live below your means save

that extra money from your promotion and invest it i see

so instead of working to buy expensive things to impress people

i work to buy my freedom back piece by piece exactly

use the system before the system uses you you know what

you're totally right i was going to celebrate my promotion by buying that expensive new iphone today but i'm canceling it

I need to start building my escape fund.

100

That's the best decision you could make today.

101

Welcome to the resistance, Anna.

102

Your future self will definitely thank you for not buying that phone.

103

Thanks for the coffee and the financial awakening, Tom.

104

I came out here feeling completely defeated by my manager, but now I actually feel empowered.

105

It's just a game and I'm finally learning the rules.

106

Exactly.

107

Now drink up.

108

Our coffee break is almost over and we need to get back to the shiny cage.

109

You're right.

110

Let's go back inside and collect our capital for the day.

111
