It is undeniable that there are some poor people who are also mentally poor. But actually, I think more that the poor with weak mentality are those who have never migrated. Because if they migrate, their enthusiasm for life is higher so it will not rule out the possibility that they will succeed. Like the Chinese who are scattered in many countries, for example in my country. They come to my country because they are poor and can control the economy in my country because the spirit of survival is better than local residents who have never migrated. Likewise investing, the ones who dominate investment in my country are those of Chinese descent who migrated.
Investing is not only for the rich but it is for everyone but you have a point mate I mean there are some poor people who are also mentally poor. The environment you're in will certainly contribute a great factor to the mindset of a people. I mean I've been born and raised in a society where the common saying is "study hard so you may find a good job" and it is very seldom or I think I've never heard in my whole life that my parents said to me to "study hard and improve my financial literacy". Chinese people were being into a business and investment and that is what makes them good in terms of business.
