rich people have the great advantage of having a lot of money, with that everything they need Is just having good ideas. I'll give you some examples: if a rich person thinks about starting to make sports bets, then that rich person can even afford to make a multibet bet with odds of @10.00 and put $100,000 to bet, in case of victory he he will win 1 million dollars, in case he loses, he will not miss the 100,000$, because he has many other businesses that will give him a profit of 100,000$ at the end of the day, he does not lose even losing 100,000$ in the game. so if the rich man had a fortune estimated at 500,000 million dollars, but he bet and lost 100,000$ in the casino, but the next day he made a profit of 200,000$ from his companies, the 500,000$ were not reduced because he lost in the casino, on the contrary the money his increased a lot

now look at the case of someone poor, takes 10$ and makes a multibet bet with odds of @10.00 and loses, he only had 10$ to bet, so he will have to spend a long time without betting and also thinking that he could have Once the $10 is taken and used in the real world, the feeling of guilt starts to plague the poor person, even though people say: just play with money you can afford to lose. this is only on paper, in practice many people don't do this, and the reason is quite simple: they want to win very fast. I just gave this example, but there are several other examples where we can see that the rich will always have many advantages

What do you mean when you say that many poor people have reached the positions of the rich, perhaps you mean that the standard of living in general has become higher? To some extent this is true, but I also want to say that the gap between the rich and the poor is also widening, big fortunes make even more money for many reasons.

The poor rarely plan their lives, they rarely set goals for themselves, and therefore it is difficult to achieve something if you do not know where you are going. But it's hard to do if you don't know how to do it, and even more so when it's hard to believe that it will give any results.

1. Most tend to "look for the guilty" in their problems, but do nothing to change the situation. And when you tell them this, they instantly find 100,500 arguments why you shouldn’t even start trying to change something And they continue to “sit and wait” for someone to change their life (government / employer / friend / Martians ....)
2. Yes, a rich man can take risks, but he risks essentially his entire fortune - and he really has where to "fall" - to be left without anything at one moment. What are the risks of a poor resident who has "nothing to lose"? What are the risks of the poor - if he starts to engage in self-development? Get new knowledge?

I will say one thing - nothing will change if you do nothing.

According to me, the biggest difference between rich and poor is that a rich person tries to implement his plans while a poor may imagine but has no role in implementation. Another big difference is that the rich can take risks while the poor find it difficult to take risks. But many poor people today have come to the position of the big rich. Here they had a goal and they focused. It is not difficult for a rich person to become rich, but for a poor to become rich he has to work tirelessly and strive.

Yes I agree with you "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer". If a person is born into a rich family then he can just be smart with his investments and make money this way. It is not so risky if he can invest in the right places.
Rich people also have savings and investments already. It is less work for them to have to do as they grow up. 

When you’re rich there’s a huge change you’re earning more than you’re spending so you have lots of extra money that can be put into businesses or investments meanwhile the poor struggle to even have ends meet because they need way more than they earn. If a rich person gets money, he’s just richer but if a poor person gets money, he’s just gonna use it to pay for bills, debts and etc.

Well said - the balance in the society is because of the rich and the poor and this will remain forever unless the poor would work smart and luck will side them
Sometime the poor and the smart people grow rich and sometime rich would be a middle class person. The main reason is luck ofcourse

Just has he has said, in a community there must be the rich and the poor just to creat stability. So it depends on individual to choose which on to become through is plans for life especially if one isn't for a rich home.

I think this quote has two main points. The first is that rich is getting rich, I think, is due to capitalism, where rich people are basically the entrepreneurs who knows how to make their money grow whatever the state of economy is. On the other hand, I believe that poor people are getting more poor since they don't know how to handle their money. But, I think the main factor for this to happen is the governments action toward these people. If the government don't do something like increasing wages that corresponds to increasing value of goods, the poor people would just have the money for them to survive. There wouldn't be a room for them to make themselves be better in terms of financial. As per your situation, I think you have the capacity to save money other than the money for your needs, so In the right mindset and planning of financial you could increase your financial soundness soon.

This saying speaks towards why people with wealth have such wealth, and why poor people continue to stay poor.  Now there are of course exceptions to this, but what it's saying is wealthy/rich people get richer because they continue to do the right things that make them money, that make them richer.  It's also saying poor people typically don't do the right thing to change their fortunes.  Of course one can change this either way, whether that's becoming more rich, or poor. 

It's all about making the right decisions.  About having the right habits.

This is the point because even though we really hope to be rich, there must still be two conditions where rich and poor exist, bearing in mind that this is to create stability.
The condition of the rich and the poor is also actually seen from the perspective of the country I think because of course when we say rich we also don't have an official benchmark for that considering the conditions in each region are different, but indeed money is the main key now.

the quote you mentioned "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer" in my opinion that sentence is a kind of satire for rich people and people in power such as government officials who only think about themselves and commit corruption.
I think that sentence arose because there is a lot of corruption that is rampant in every part of the world which has resulted in increasingly massive poverty. I interpret the quoted sentence as an oppression and exploitation by the authorities for their irresponsible actions for taking property that is not their right but the rights of many people.
by taking the rights of many people or it can be said corruption they have enriched themselves and become richer. but every person whose rights are taken away will still be poor and getting poorer because of the corruption they are doing.

Usually is a wealth that is gotten from parents as an inheritance which they don't know how to maintain and keep sustaining to wealth to continuously flow as usual.
Just as you said, all less they are being cultured very well on how to manage wealth and inheritance before they could be able to sustain it for the next generation.

I don't agree with you. indeed all state leaders want wealth, and want to turn a poor country into a rich one which, even though it is difficult, but there must be a change, even if it is a little, but it is better than nothing.
I think to change from poor to rich depends on how we see the point of view, and a strong determination to change.
as we can see now how the countries of South Korea and North Korea, even though they used to be both poor countries but now they are far different from South Korea being a developed country.

Today is the age of technology, where many rich people think investment is a factor for economic growth for them, poor people only think tomorrow where they have to get money to buy their living needs.

In the current era, fighting money with money can make money, the poor have no money to invest or stir up, that's why the poor don't experience development all the time.

To achieve success need capital / economy in the field that we want to do.

My thoughts on this statement is that some people grab opportunity when they see it. Rich people have upper advantage over poor people because they have every means of making more money using their own wealth while the poor people have less opportunity to be rich because they do not have any money of their own.

The rich have it all, the rich are classified into many categories, only rich people that make their wealth through investment are the ones that make it and they own the title of rich are getting richer. Not all rich people have the courage for businesses, invesment, or gambling.




I don't respect this kind of rich people because their wealth is ready made, but I still consider them as rich people. People in that stage only few survive it almost 50% fail.

poor people will think a lot when trying to step up to run their business, while rich people will easily move and run their business.
the point is, for the poor it may be because of limited capital that they are reluctant to step up and will continue to be poor, in contrast to the rich, he will easily run his business without having to think about the capital that needs to be spent. I think like that

The presence of poor people is of course a counterweight in life, it is inconceivable if all humans are rich, of course no one will work or provide for the things that are needed by the rich, if we become rich people the first thing is to be grateful and not arrogant because of the wealth we have will not last forever in this world.

There are only about 1% of the entire world's population in the rich zone and no one outside of the rich 1% can overtake another person. That leaves us with 99% in the mid-class and extremely poor people in the world. The take away from here is that the 1% knows how to take money away from the larger population of the poor. A close friend of mine will say, 'all the money you want is in the hands of total stranger and you have to give value to take it from them'. So long the rich can provide values that answers the need of the common man, they will continue to be richer.

Yeah mindset truly matters and I was once in an argument with my sister and it was very much a heated one as we argued over entrepreneurs and office employees.
I stand in the opinion that starting off a business from the scratch isn't an easy one especially when you still have to depend on the money raised from the business to pay off bills and so other activities and I've also seen office workers like those that work in shells, Chevron, nnpc, construction companies, and so many other offices who are extremely doing well without having to bear the risk of any loss and if you ask me, I would rather prefer to work in any of the listed companies rather than starting off my own business, hence place of work doesn't determine being rich or poor as I've seen people who were riavh became poor and those who were poor becoming rich and maintaining such status and hence that is where the mindset comes in.
