>>507202219 (OP)This is unironically why you are poor.
I remember being a kid and thinking it would be cool to be a thief. Then I moseyed around my grandparent's house and realized 50% of their wealth was the house, 40% was fiat/bank/paper (digital now days) stonks and bonds, and 8% antiques furniture and like 1-2% fungible valuables, and those antique/ fungible valuables include cars.
Basically if they have 1 million, there is gonna be a 500k house, 300k to 400k in some on paper asset, 40-80k in resalable, but inconvenient to transfer goods (sofas, cars, refrigerators, clothing, that creepy porcelain cat statue) and 10-20k in more transportable (but still often inconvenient) stuff, like computers, flatscreens, phones, wedding rings, jewelry.
So if I am a thief, I am gonna take all the risk, work with a fence, and maybe get only 50% value out of 2-5k i can find/transport for each wealthy house I visit. I remember thinking that being an antique dealer might be easier, less moral, and more profitable. Idk how long it takes to plan a proper untraceable home robbery, but say you hit one a month and spend 3 weeks trying to flip the goods. That's 25-50k a year for the risk of grandpa blowing your head off if you got his vacation calendar wrong.
Theoretically theiving is still worth SOMETHING... but it would only be worth it if you had a box truck, a moving crew and could bulk sale stolen appliances to home depot or something.
But when you can make 1k in a week by going to college or learning to paint ezpz so why ever bother with all this crime stuff outside of a cheap thrill?
Tldr: this is why india is poor and is largely a joke nation.
Also why fiat is gay, and jewish paper money is gay.
