Why do people stay poor?

[Lorence.xD]

There are many reasons why people are poor. It is normal to be poor if you are behind in education. There are also many people who, despite having the ability to work, prefer to wander around instead of working to improve. Again, there are many things that people can become rich if they take advantage of these things. On top of all that, it is not uncommon for people who are afraid to take risks to be poor. Reasons include the risk of investing, sitting idly by, and lack of interest in financial assets

Yes, if people are behind in education or do not study, then people can be poor. But if the person whose father has a lot of wealth does not study then he will not be poor because his father has a lot of wealth and with that wealth he can become a very rich person in the future. But nowadays many people are living in poverty despite getting education because they are not able to find any suitable employment after getting education and as a result they remain poor. After learning, many people find employment, but they do not get enough opportunities, as a result of which the money they earn every month from employment goes to spend for their families. This is basically how the human life cycle goes.

This is the sad truth, when the person have already a well background plus their wealth it doesn't even affect their status since there's someone that could provide for their needs. I think people still remain poor despite the education they have is just because they lack the resources for them to be rich. Like the connections to the people who really have the potential to make you rich. Imagine you being a skillful person but the agency would prefer the person whose father is the ceo of some company even it doesn't meet the requirements. This is the sad truth in the wworking industry.

Poverty is a part of life, just like wealth, poverty will continue to exist, various efforts made by the state will not be able to make all its citizens rich, if we live in a developed country like the USA or Europe, the poor are also easy to see, this is certainly not mistake, but poverty is something that rich people can get many benefits in life.

Every person is born with the privilege bestowed upon them by their respective parents. The greater the wealth of their parents, the higher the privileges their children will receive.

What I have observed in this world is that the poor are forbidden from failing, while the rich are free to attempt numerous times.

Why is that so? As we know, the best way to acquire wealth is through business ventures. However, every business venture requires a significant amount of financial capital and substantial sacrifices from the outset.

Why do the poor remain impoverished? It is because they have limited opportunities to experiment with business endeavors. They require ample time to accumulate funds that can be used as capital to start a business. And when their business is up and running, they must exercise extreme caution since money is scarce. If they fail, it will take a considerable amount of time to work and gather capital once again to attempt a recovery.

On the other hand, those born into the privilege of wealth have numerous opportunities. They can experience multiple failures, yet they can easily rise again due to their substantial financial reserves. This pattern continues until they discover a business that suits them well and begins to flourish.

Most likely, the son of the CEO will not think about work, a good future in a good place will already be prepared for him.

But the essence of your post is clear, good connections provide great opportunities. For some, this will become an obstacle, because he will think that he was born in a poor family, and he does not have such opportunities, but someone will do everything to create such connections, because this can be achieved with great desire.

I do not want to say that this is easy to do, but if you see it as necessary to achieve a result, then work in this direction. As a result, when you achieve certain results, such connections will appear in your social circle.

There are numerous factors that can contribute to people staying in poverty. Limited access to quality education and job opportunities can hinder upward mobility. Insufficient income, often caused by low-paying jobs or unemployment, can make it difficult to meet basic needs and save money.

In other words, the lack of jobs they get to live their decent lives, if this hopes for the fields provided by the government, we don't think this will end, but they are interested in going out and looking for the real direction they can get, because to be honest, even though they do not get higher education at least they know the current developments.

Actually if they follow the development zone now there is a lot of access they will get if they want to follow it, now is the age of technology and actually requires someone to be able to rely on it, now many work paths are accessed through technology or someone's search now even many rely on technology and some of they will be successful if they are keen to see the real changes they need to improve their economies.

it's all not the fault of the government of a country but it all comes back to each other and back again basically human beings are different and diverse so that some are rich and some are poor.
but if someone wants to be rich then it is not impossible that it will happen even for the poor if he wants to be rich then he will be able to make it happen, but all of that is not easy it takes a long process and struggle to get it.

Poverty is not entirely the government's fault, but they have some responsibility for it. If you live in a country where there is corruption, the currency depreciates, and the government only cares about itself and neglects its people. Even if you work hard to death, you will never get out of poverty. It can be said that the environment also plays an extremely important role in the wealth or poverty of people.

The government and its people must be sustainable in this regard, because if they still cannot unite then poverty will continue to exist (I mean it will continue to increase). Job opportunities are also urgently needed to help the economy of its citizens, because how can citizens work if it is difficult to get a decent job. Also, people must also care about their own fate and should not continue to wait for the government. Like for example, I know people who keep complaining about their economy, but they themselves don't want to try and are used every day to just play around. At night he plays games, and during the day he sleeps.

I also agree with the environment that plays a role for the rich and poor because the influence of this environment is usually very large for everyone in making themselves rich. And apart from that it is not easy to become rich if we live in a country where the government is corrupt, because they will not really care about the condition of their own people.

Whereas for those who live in developed countries where the government is not corrupt, of course it will be a little easier to get rich even though in developed countries there are still citizens who are said to be poor because this is measured based on the assets or assets they have in their life. But the level of poverty or the category of poor people in developed countries is also very unique because those who are poor in developed countries can be said to be rich in corrupt countries. That's the current level of comparison for rich and poor in every citizen living in countries with different levels of progress.

The majority of individuals wish to improve their financial situation and provide a better life for themselves and their families. The desire for advancement and the pursuit of wealth are common aspirations. So they work hard and persevere, but really, not everyone starts from the same place in life. Factors such as unequal access to education, limited employment opportunities, systemic biases, discrimination, and economic disparities are significant barriers for people trying to escape poverty. So even though life is difficult and unequal, try to create an opportunity because this is your chance to change your destiny.

Basically what you say is true. It's just that there is a reason that makes someone experience poverty and there is also a reason for someone to be successful and become a rich person. But indeed, not everyone has the same luck in the process of changing life.

It's just that we still have to do our efforts and hard work to the maximum to avoid poverty. The world is just like a game. if he loses in tactics and is not proficient in self-development then it will be difficult for him to rise to a higher level.

I think the thing that makes a person still poor is difficult opportunities, many people are smart but they don't have the opportunity to work in companies or are given capital for businesses. Of course the role of the government is very important to raise the skills or abilities of its citizens who have potential but don't have the opportunity.

I don't think that's a reason, if someone has the ability and desire then he doesn't depend on other people's work anymore, he can even make his own job, open a business or something else.
Main capital is indeed important, but capital is not always in the form of money, it could be desire, hard work and also ability / knowledge.
never blame anyone if we are still poor, even the circumstances are not wrong.
it's all on ourselves, get up and try harder.

Becoming rich out from poverty is just about passiions, is to have this rich mindset.  Sometimes it must not be money to start up something first or looking for opportunities to hold on but passion is the main thing to become financially okay , and positive mindset.  Passion makes one to start up somewhere no matter how small it is, and it will definitely do well in the future. Government in the society can also be blamed why people still remain poor. If the government is is working Rate of poverty will be very low.

This is indeed often underestimated and I also believe when we have a positive spirit and mindset it will also help us get out of poverty,
indeed it will not happen instantly and of course everything needs a process,
the enthusiasm to keep learning new things and trying is very important.

Only those stay poor who wants to stay poor and those who don't work for their improvement and betterment .
Now there are million opportunities to improve yourself and still if someone don't avail them that their fault .
This is totally on their mindsets some people are satisfied being the way they are.

Everyone has a fair chance to make their lives better and comfortable, it's just that they don't have the right eye to see what and where the opportunities are.

Some factors may exists, yes that is fair enough, but that doesn't mean that you will just wait until someone will spoon feed you everything until you can stand up on your own. It's surely doesn't work like that because we all are able to do it as long as we have the right determination and mindset to do things even if it seems impossible.

Everyone has a fair chance to make their lives better and comfortable, it's just that they don't have the right eye to see what and where the opportunities are.

If the goal is happiness, then each person has different standards of happiness. It's possible that a poor person who can earn $20 per day feels happy because they can have a delicious meal that day. Meanwhile, someone accustomed to a luxurious lifestyle wouldn't feel happy with $20 and would always feel lacking. Happiness is highly relative and depends on the individual.

If being rich is the standard for everyone's happiness, then not everyone has an equal opportunity. We know that some people have a better head start than others. In fact, some individuals have a strong support system due to their family's financial situation. Poor people require more hard work than the wealthy to achieve comparable wealth.

there are several poor categories and I think that between poor and rich cannot always be measured by happiness, happiness is a common thing that is felt by everyone with their respective capacities and it has nothing to do with money even money cannot buy happiness, many people are rich in this world that means suicide proves that money can't buy happiness.

but poor people who have a small chance to get rich (have a lot of money) I think they still have hope even though it's small and it must be accompanied by hard work and a long process compared to some other people, basically everyone can have a lot of money if the person is willing to do more than he is capable of.

No one like to be a poor person,because they will keep try to become a rich person.Many had start to work from their college days to support their family,it's not their own way of earning.They doing it for the support of their family,how you say they like to stay poor.They will do the things which uplift their way of life.But sometimes,the way will fail.Sometimes the way will give the money which is not the expected one.The only way to win the game is we need to play the game.Quit the game is not the solution at any moment.Keep work to uplift your life,one day god will help to earn more then expected.

[Uruhara]

The concept of rich and poor is not limited to material wealth or financial resources. There are many forms of wealth that go beyond monetary value, such as personal relationships, happiness, well-being, and moral values. Happiness and contentment can certainly exist independently of financial wealth. People who may not have many material possessions can still lead fulfilled lives and experience joy through their relationships with loved ones, community involvement, personal growth, and sense of purpose. In contrast, individuals who possess substantial wealth and material possessions may still experience poverty in other aspects of their lives. Their focus on accumulating wealth and sustaining business activities can lead to stress, burnout, and a lack of satisfaction in other areas such as relationships, personal happiness, and self-esteem and purpose awareness.

If we talk about the concept of rich and poor in various types. then of course rich and poor will indeed have different variations in different sectors.

And as you said sometimes people who have wealth with possessions do not necessarily have wealth in satisfaction in life. Sometimes those who are rich actually have a much heavier burden of life which makes it difficult for them to get happiness. So they can be said to be poor in happiness.

but conversely people who are in a simple life sometimes they have a wealth of happy feelings. for they do not have as heavy a burden as the rich. they are also not too busy with many business matters. so that it is easier for them to be able to satisfy themselves and make themselves happy with more time to gather with family. sometimes people who rarely eat good meat and only eat it occasionally are actually more able to enjoy the taste of the meat when they finally get to eat it. but rich people they eat too much good food and they get tired of all kinds of food. so they become more difficult to find food that can satisfy their appetite.

the point is not everyone can have wealth in all aspects. because they are rich in one aspect but poor in another.

Truly the government have there own roles to play in every society it governs. Sometimes the government also have their own issues too. In tackling poverty, the government as institution can help reduce poverty by creation of job opportunities through civil service commission, industries, agencies etc that can take in workers in other to reduce the rate of poverty and unemployment in the various societies but as an individual one needs to be productive and creative so as to be self employed rather than waiting for the government to create employment opportunities before one can be gainfully employed to be able to survive. This makes me curious and I asked what if the government is incapacitated to carrying out any recruitment exercise what will be the outcome?  Wouldn't they look out for a better and legit way to survive. Will they keep waiting for the government always?

[Semar Mesem]

I think the thing that makes someone still poor is that he doesn't have a clear vision about money, he thinks that money is a normal thing and is not his target or hope, when he gets a lot of money it will be easy to spend it according to his pleasure, he always thinks that tomorrow there will be the same money.

[israt1@]

You have to find all the opportunities yourself. No one gives you the opportunity. Everyone needs money. So there are many ways to earn money around. Shushu, find the opportunity yourself.

The government has their own share but shouldn't be the main factor of bringing jobs, it's the people who need to locate the legal ways of surviving in life, you can extend your capabilities by learning things that can give you a decent day job or a good side hustle or you can establish small business that will allow you to survive.

I see your point in terms of government help, but you can't rely on it in my opinion as the government can corrupt the budget and leave their citizens hanging and waiting for any projects in this kind of situation.
