Stupidity: stupid in making decisions and stupid because of laziness. Average poor people are lazy in changing their lifestyle and mindset
I don't believe poverty is destiny because millions of billionaires come from poor families at a young age. just, for example, Jeff Bezos who was only a Burger worker at a young age.. poverty and wealth is a choice! even if you cannot afford to be rich at least you must be able not to be very poor.
Being lazy, it also depends on your brain chemistry to be fair, some people have ADHD while others have laser like focus and are able to study learn on their max.
You didn't understood what's the point of this thread. In overall people live in poverty because they aren't clever, in some countries where there are elections, some political parties give people some bucks in order to choose them and imagine what? This people take money from them and choose them. They just want to feel satiated today and don't care what will happen in future, long term.
No one doubts that poor person can't become rich, no, being a poor is a huge stimulus for a person to overcome it and become rich, yes. But I can't agree with you when saying that poverty and wealth is a choice because when you are born in very poor family, parents don't care about your knowledge and etc, you are becoming victim of poverty again.
