Why You’re Poor by Design—and How I Escaped the Trap
Many people believe they’re poor because they’re lazy or not working hard enough. But that’s not the whole truth. As I revealed in my book "The Global System and Why You Are Poor by Design", the system is structured to keep most people financially dependent and confused.
My name is Kingsley Edem. I’m a financial educator, author, and a passionate advocate for economic awakening—especially in Africa. Like many Nigerians, I used to believe that more money was the solution. But no matter how much I earned, it always slipped away.
It wasn’t until I studied the global financial structure that I understood this;
Poverty is not just a personal failure—it’s a designed outcome of a system that benefits from your ignorance.
Here’s what I discovered and began teaching:
- You’ve Been Taught to Be a Consumer, Not a Creator
From school to media, we’re programmed to spend—not to build wealth. Financial literacy is rarely taught. You have to seek it yourself.
- Debt and Inflation Are Weapons
The global economic system thrives on debt. Most people are enslaved to loans, while inflation silently steals your savings. Understanding how money is created and inflated is step one to freedom.
- Wealth Is Built on Principles, Not Luck
Budgeting: Tells your money where to go.
Saving: Builds your safety net.
Investing: Makes your money work for you.
Discipline: Separates the rich in mind from the poor in habit.
I turned my life around by mastering financial fundamentals, and today, I teach them through my writings, videos, and community outreach.
If you're struggling financially, know this: You are not broken. The system is. But you can rise above it—through education, intention, and action.
What You Can Do Today:
Start tracking your expenses—every dollar.
Save at least 10% of all income, no matter how small.
Read one financial book per month—start with mine.
