Those people that are still living just to show off to others are the ones that will really suffer in the end. There's no end for one to have themselves boastful with what they've got and it's still the best to live life being humble and showing humility to the others.
But as the topic all about thriving, don't be dependent on a single income. You need to find ways which you can showcase every single skill that you have. Look for side hustles that will give an additional income, be the working person and enjoy it at the same time. Find your passion through it so you won't get bored and exhausted.

Shopping on physical stores is more expensive than shopping online.
Now what items are not in the online store? everything is there, even when around where we live it is difficult to find the item we are looking for, then in online stores we can find it easily. This also attracts a lot of interest from consumers to shop more at online stores.
There is no point in beating a dead horse that is how when you feel there isn't enough income in your locality then move to a place where the wages are better not even too far just to the nearer city where you can have better salary but comes with more hard work then only you can bring the real change in your financial status.
It would be easy to say but difficult to do because if you move near a city, the expenses are also so high that it is just enough for you to survive, like paying rent because your home is far away and the food is more expensive than in your area. Though the opportunity in the city is endless, it would be great if you could cut your expenses like you have relatives to stay with or it is just really near your home. Then getting hired by those companies where you will start with a high salary is difficult; you still need more experience or time to render in a company before getting an increase.
We also need to develop a good management skill to be able to make effective utilization of the little resources we have into something big, this will help us towards avoiding excessive wastage, damage and gives give maximizing potentials to the resources within our capacity, many have failed alot in many areas of life all because they couldn't developed a good management responsibility in life, they miss out alot of opportunities at the cause blaming the situations around the economy and this is not really a location base factors, we can achieve to any lent in life irrespective of where we are only if we are determined to.

There is no need to move if the area have internet access, there are plenty of online jobs now that get give more profit than actual job can give. I knew some friends who stop going office and rely in online work as virtual assistance some become online affiliates and encoder. There is just some need to study how it works but where already in modern generation now that we can do more jobs and not just by sticking in 1job for 8hrs or more. And now that online access is much wider finding job is limitless we just need to acquire some knowledge to do it. 
Get rid of addictions/habits: addictions or habits (in mild cases) are harmful not only for your health, but also for your finances. Cigarettes and alcohol are responsible for consuming a large portion of the income from individuals living on minimum wage. It's not that unsual to find people spending at least 1$ on cigarettes daily, what after 1 month will result in 30$ expenses, which could be going into bitcoin investment, for an example.
Addictions go past cigarettes and alcohol, there are many other habits that can put a hole in your purse and not all are dangerous to Health, there is also gambling, womanizing etc. Keep a strict budget that still has accommodation for the things you like and try to stick to it, to help put it under control. Shopping on physical stores is more expensive than shopping online.
Are you for real? maybe this is applicable in your locale, but in my location, It is easier and most times cheaper by some amount when you buy most items from a physical store. Some online vendors have charges plus you also have to consider delivery charges that you must include for your order unless there is a free delivery offer.
One of the biggest difficults in life is to manage growing your patrimony and income, when earning minimum wage and living in poor areas where opportunities are scarce, as is the money circulating in the local economy. Some hints that could be useful:
The impression which matters is the one you have about yourself: forget about boasting yourself to friends and suitors around. Live a realistic life and don't pretend to have a superior lifestyle in order to make people's eyes shine in front of you. There is nothing wrong in displaying some style, it's actually pretty good and satisfactory, but only when we can really afford it.
You don't need to copy anyone's life style especially when the person gets high income than you do. Life is not all about competition so in whatever area,you find yourself manage the little income you get wisely so that you will be able to be patient for a bigger opportunity.The impression which matters is the one you have about yourself: forget about boasting yourself to friends and suitors around.

Living a fake life is the worst of all,showing off when you don't have enough, this will make you loose some opportunities in life,because if someone wants to help you,he might think that you have more than enough,which might make him help someone else. Be real and spend wisely without love listening to what people are saying about you.

Last week I watched a youtube clip about homesteading published by someone in a poor area who said it took them 20 years to find a way to become profitable through DIY agriculture in their off grid farming setup. They started a seed company, did communal gardening, sold their produce at local markets. Tried other approaches. Apparently none of that worked and it took two decades to generate profits, which proves how difficult it can be to generate income as a producer without the benefits of a strong consumer market.
That said, I think there are often angles or opportunities, even in poor neighborhoods where people lack access to raw materials, equipment and resources. It is difficult to identify and recognize them when we see them. But they are definitely present. Everyone wants to get ahead and do better. Most of us simply do not know where to start, or how to get there. In that sense I think identifying opportunities is important.
Having good information and guidance is also important. Most of the information offered as advice trends towards being generic and diluted.
Even in poor neighborhoods with weak consumer markets there are always opportunities. They simply happen to be things that no one wants to do. Or they break with routine in a way which people find uncomfortable.
Developing a new skill set can also be a big part of it. Making the most of opportunities often requires learning new skills which one currently lacks.
1. It's easy to say to get rid of cigarette and alcohol when you was not an addict or never try it, will you try those stuff and become daily user, then quit it completely? I believe you can't. I know it's their fault for choosing to consume that, but the real truth is they're also want to get rid of those stuff, but they just can't.
2. Everyone know about buy cheap and sell high rule.
3. This is the biggest problem we're seeing in social media, but sometime people boasting their luxury lifestyle and achievement in social media to built a value in order to get endorsement.

Many people who are addicted to smoking and drinking alcohol don't think about the kind of calculation that they consume in their vices. It's already affecting the budget and damaging their health.
Others spend more than $1 on their vices, especially on alcohol. They should change the habit of saving bitcoin that instead of buying cigarettes and alcohol, they save their purchase for a week and buy bitcoin, even better.

We have to manage our expenses as much as possible in a month and not buy things we don't need so that it will not affect our expenses. And do not forget to save or set aside a small amount of money for our future, whatever the type, so that we can benefit from that savings. It would be better if we use the money to invest in bitcoin to get a lot of returns when the price increases.
Living a simple life by not following the trend can be done because the trend will change and if we don't have an excess budget, we will be left behind. And the tren will disappear because it always changes from time to time. A simple life's purpose is to prepare for a better future.

The key for success is don't spend which excess on your income but that doesn't mean that you can spend 80% of your income and save the 20% since that still bad since it can slow down your progress maybe try to find some ways to find another income stream like selling some other goods which is needed on your area since even if your are in low income area for sure you can still earn by those people around you by buying their needs to you. Also try to seek opportunity online since on current era digital space is more convenient for human being to find work so its good for us to seek for good hustle to earn some another extra cash.

You forgot to mention the first and main hint to improve your financial situation - buy Bitcoin! The more money you keep in FIAT the poorer you become. Inflation is eating up your FIAT. Buy as much ass you can afford - just a couple of sats now and then. Don't buy that extra pack of cigarettes or extra bottle of beer.
If you are poor and you live in a poor area, my number 1 advise would be to leave your area and move into another city or another country.
If you environment is economically stagnant and there aren't many opportunities, your best bet is to leave. If you can't improve your environment, the only way to improve your life is to change your environment with a better one.
Staying in a poor area means that you will remain poor forever. It doesn't matter how hard you try to save money and to work hard.
Poor areas have high levels of crimes, so you might end up getting robbed or killed. I wouldn't waste my time living in a poor neighborhood or a poor city.

When people start in personal finance or try to increase their wealth, the first thing they think about is saving. Then when they have some savings they think about investing, and the last step I see is to increase their income, which I would say is the one that gives the most results. When you are used to controlling expenses, saving and investing, finding ways to earn more makes you able to save more, invest more and spend more. Even in my case I introduced regular donations, which has not slowed down my progress, on the contrary.
The point is to get off your ass. If you live in a poor area with low income try to increase your income or even consider moving to another place where there are more opportunities.
But don't forget that nowadays with the internet you can earn a lot of money no matter where you live.

I'd say go for finding an alternative way of earning first, before investing. The former you have a lot more control of and has higher potential of earning faster and sooner, while the latter will be mostly be really really slow. Early on, more risks should be taken.
Do not forget about the ridiculous amount of money that people are spending or "Air time" or "Data" for their mobile phones. I live in a country with high unemployment and I regularly see poor and middle class people.. owning 2 or more cellphones. 
The cellphone companies are making a killing with their high cost for data and voice calls.... I would much rather invest in uncapped broadband internet that are grouped between 2 or more houses... effectively sharing the cost and using much cheaper data & voice. (when you are at home)
I know of families that are sharing Internet with wifi extenders .... when they live in close proximity of each other.

I don't know if even humble area have access and amenities that support a more glamorous life than the average population, say a supermarket is only a few miles in such a neighborhood. I think their goal is to at least survive for a few weeks instead of getting a more luxurious standard of living considering how difficult it is just to earn $1 a day. And generally the crime rate is higher in that area, so don't think anyone to look rich than others.
Bad habits should be stopped, that's where most people are spending too much but they don't realize it because they don't add it as part of their budget.
Cigarette, alcohol, and even little gambling habit.
Don't be a picky eater, if it's healthy take it, even though they are cheap. The other problem with low income employees is how they spend their money with food. They are getting pulled by co-workers to dine at a prestigious restaurant even though it's out of their budget. There are small food places that can offer the same service and taste and yet they are cheap, it's just the ambience which is different. Well, the ambience doesn't make your tummy full.

Yes, step by step you can achieve what you want to achieve in life which is very important to humanity to apply the knowledge of start small to know more about the investment before improving the capital. And through saving from your salary or wages, you can achieve such capital to invest in Bitcoin which is among the stable coin that can improve your income in future.I think, many traders has learned a lot from your message which will really help many to be patience in their crypto trading so that they will not experience losses in their trading than to exercise patience for the price of that coin to increase higher before they can sell.
