Topic: Why do people stay poor? - page 13. (Read 3528 times)

Correct. Everyone has the same goal to live in peace with their family. I think there are a lot of reasons to make it that way even though it sounds classic and it's all kind of like the impact of inflation. I think this is a big homework that must be handled by the government to restore the domestic economic cycle so that it returns to normal. Even though there is an implied message, people must also try to earn more income and not depend on and wait for government programs to come down in terms of new jobs.

I have come to realize that poverty is as a result of ones reasoning and ability to engage in meaningful activities that would help them grow.
Another factor I put into consideration is ones circle. If you are always in a circle of lousy people who think not of what they could do to generate more funds or being productive, you will remain like them because they would always drag you down to their level so the best thing is to always stay in circle higher than you if you must grow and be productive.
 
I really do not think education is a barrier to being wealthy and rich. I know people in my country that are very successful business men and women. They weren't educated as we thought but because of their drive to succeed, they were able to stand and be useful to themselves and the world.

These are human fears that very often prevent us from leaving our comfort zone and trying to change something in life. I agree that in some cases it is much more difficult to do this, but if the current job only allows your family to survive, then you need to change something in your life as soon as possible, and not be afraid that if you lose this job, then you will no longer have the usual source income.

We grow when it's really difficult for us, when we have to change in order to change something in life. You also need to change your mindset, you can’t just start earning more. And when money appears in your life, you need to learn how to properly manage it, you can’t spend everything, because this way you won’t be able to achieve financial independence.

Not everyone is capable of this, and I know people for whom it is important to show their status when they have money, but this is a false path, we need to learn how to handle money, then there will be a chance to improve our financial condition.

People stay poor because lack of financial knowledge, no school, collage an any other education institution teach about financial knowledge this is also one of the reason why people stay poor. Apart from this, when poor mindset people gets money, they never use it for investment to generate more money from there. In same time some people born poor but with their right knowledge and hard work they become success in their life and become rich. Born being poor but with their determination and hard work never let them end up being poor.

That is a stupid thought I have ever heard, basically if most poor people will be difficult for the country to improve the economy or become a developed country, that is the real goal of eradicating poverty.
If you feel that the poor are useful, why don't you just become a poor person.

Poor people will always be there but we can reduce the number with the right strategy in its completion, reinforced in terms of minimizing poverty is to improve education that focuses on critical reasoning and problem solving, it will make someone better in positioning themselves better in any field.


Indeed, there is no one who is always poor, but those with their behavior always position to remain poor, whether they have standard salaries or not at all, people who want to get out of the poverty zone will fight more actively.

Anyone that always settles for less will have lesser expectations, depending on salary work is not the solution to solve ones economic problems in this present dispensation, everyone has to work it out in divers ways to ensure that have their needs meant through their expectations, this is part of what has made some people to device another means to source for income through this recent advanced digital technology with cryptocurrency, so they can achieve the change they desire.


Likewise there are people who gets rich once and turn poor, it is better never to have tasted been rich before than becoming poor after being rich, but everything depends on determination and hardworks.

The reason is banal - a primitive lack of financial literacy, and the desire to "live and consume - here and now." The problem is that people do not quite understand what money is and how to manage it!
Try to give the classic poor man, for example, 10,000 dollars. For example, take 1000 such people. Do you know what 75-90% of them will do? I answer - the first thing they will buy is an iPhone! Then something too expensive "status" but useless for his life. Because he does not even understand what the liquidity of such goods is. And only a few - they use money more or less correctly - for health, for education, for something that will give results TOMORROW and will not "increase their ego"

Not like that, Do you think some individuals continue to earn money in a certain way because they wish to remain in poverty? Because there aren't enough opportunities to do so and nobody wants to suffer, I believe some people continue using their current method of earning a living. There are people who work extremely hard to become wealthy, but due to family circumstances, there may only be one of them who has a means of making money. Do you believe this person will let a member of his family to suffer while he is making money?

I believe he will do everything in his power to keep his family happy and he won't want to change his line of work since he isn't making enough money and what if he did and didn't have another job as soon as he lived? He might experience difficulties in life.

I visited a lot of 3rd world countries and the leading reason for poverty are population growth, where people have 5 or more children in a family and where there are only one person working for a salary to sustain the family.

People in the 1st world countries only have 2 or 3 children and they have enough income to pay for all of their expenses. They can pay for good education and they provide for all of their needs. (Food & health services)

Governments should encourage population control and stop encouraging them to make more children, so that they fall under poverty and then hold them for ransom with social grants to get their votes. 

and yet they are paying big taxes but turns out nothing happens. That is also one of the reasons why the country won't be successful in generating money because they dont care about the infrastructure that can attract new investor. But here in our country we are just lucky in the past administration that he really focused on building roads and others infrastructure which right no lead to more tourist and that means it can help people as well as the country

No matter what, government factor can't still be count out of this. Do you know how sone government policies affect some entrepreneur? Not to talk of lack of infrastructures. There are some places in my place that have not gotten light for more than 4 months now. How will companies in such environment cope with that. The Government has a great role also to place to eradicate poverty from the society. Although, our personal factor can't be left out and this takes a higher percentage.

no one wants to be poor all the time, they have tried to be rich, they are usually said to be sufficient, it is good for each month, there are many needs that sometimes you can't actually save, especially if you only have a standard salary.

It's not just a spending thing, it's not about investing in bitcoin or not and it's also not about one job, people who have jobs, invest and spend regularly we can't be sure people who do get rich.
In some time after you are no longer working, of course you will begin to eat away at your savings and your investments to meet the needs of your life and that of your family and maybe you will find your old age very difficult or you will remain poor if you do normal things like that.

We all know the reasons why people remain poor, both in terms of ability, time, not investing, bad education, no opportunities and so on, so that the brain cannot develop and cannot see opportunities that may even be in front of our eyes when capabilities are minimal, then it is not possible. it will never be seen that opportunity is in sight.


IMO for people now who already have a job and earn an income, I suggest looking for another source of income so you don't stick to one source of income, it will make your salary just enough for your needs, and the danger is that if you only stick to one income it will be very difficult if you we are no longer working, at least have two stoves of income to get better results if you need 4-10 stoves of income, it's just that you have to be able to divide your time and energy well.

Many people think that poverty is a big problem in the country so that all countries try their best to eliminate poverty, but the most important thing we have to understand is that poverty will continue as long as there is life, there are many things only poor people want to do so that we have to be happy because the presence of poor people is very useful for life.

Because they are lazy to work and don't have a plan in life, so every time they get the opportunity to change they don't do it seriously. I don't highlight what jobs can get people out of the poverty line, but living in peace and having enough is far more perfect. Talking about being poor or rich is only a matter of how much wealth we have, but peace and happiness are not measured by wealth alone.

I remember some people who had wealth in my area, but their lives ended very tragically and in their old age they were not looked after at all by their children. The reason is because a father never takes the time and often neglects the interests of the family so that children grow up without love. There is nothing wrong when people seek wealth, but the portion of wealth will be very different from one person to another.

Well mindset is indeed a strong reason behind all the actions taken by most people who always waste more every opportunity that comes their way. Like shopping excessively, prioritizing a style rather than a simple life and they don't even think about investing for the future. Because they feel they will continue to get a salary every month from their job. They continue to work to make money but then after getting the money they spend the money to fulfill their pleasure. but if they have a rich mindset. then of course when they can make money by working. then they will try to make more money so that they can also make more money. for example by investing.

Trying to quickly change their lives as what you said greediness and not being content with what they've got and instead of trying to work it out to find the right way to succeed in whatever business of investment, what happen is the other side they lose their money unlike with those people who already have money they are capable to keep trying and keep finding the right business or investment, with the help f their fortune they can just developed and enhance their opportunities to have more money and be as rich as they can be.

I agree with you that people should create their own opportunities. When you have set your mindset that poverty is not an option, then we begin to think out of the box. Opportunities are everywhere to at least increase ones income ,but the problem I see is that some people wants to start big, where they don't have the resources to do so. In the end, all the big plans will remain in the pipeline. The individual will also remain poor, waiting for manna to fall from heaven.

Another reason why I think people remain poor is that they don't have long term goals, only living on the spore of the moment. Before you know it, had I known will set in, when it is too late. And the aftermath is poverty.

Education may be able to elevate you higher than your parents were able to achieve, because standards are generally raising higher over the decades. However things like a poorer diet, the lack of experience opportunities due to lower salaries of your guardian and potentially less nurturing due to them having to work longer hours are among small factors that can collectively build towards a stunted growth experience compared to peers with richer parents.

People stay poor because once  they get a salary from their job they buy their wants instead of investing it to the crypto or any opportunity that generate a money.

Being poor is defends on you on how you financially free just remember that once you have money or opportunity use it in a good way and be wise  because once you not use it you will still poor.

But there is some people who are poor before become rich because of their mindset and also a hardwork.
