I have always wanted to ask this question is it that there is no opportunity or they do not want to get rich

Some people are always lamenting and always blaming "fate" without actually realizing how wrong they are:
- conservative, not willing to change mindset not progressive.
- There is no specific plan or goal to strive for in life.
- Wasteful, impatient and not thrifty
- dependent on a single source of income/work

Here are a few reasons that are consistent in my opinion.

A Bitcoiner chooses. A slave obeys.

Becoming rich is a problem in two ways:

First, not everyone understands that making a lot of money demands a lot of hard work and ALL of your time. I have yet to see a person who became rich and earned all their money while having time for a family or playing videos games.

Its just not realistic, and most of us would never see such hard work as realistic. A lot of us would rather live our lives.

Another problem is that being rich is a mindset. There are those who have 20 million USD in the bank and consider themselves not rich, while there are people with 1 million who see themselves as rich.

There are billionaires who just can never get enough.

Its quite sad, really.

Mate please more to this I am confused here.

Being rich is a subjective term, objectively there is no upper limit to call a person rich, even the biggest millionaire can think themself to be poor and attempt to earn more.

But being poor, depends on a number of reasons, one of which is the country they live in and what their skills are. With good skills one can earn a living but that might not be enough to compare with a millionaire, obviously. The point is whether they are happy with their earning and satisfied with their work.

Today everyone is trying to find new methods to grow their assets and it is a good attempt to gradually improve the living conditions of your family and its future. Becoming rich takes time, years and the assets will be enjoyed not in your lifetime but mostly by the next generation if they are following the frugal footsteps that their predecessors have paved.

Don't ever think that being rich or poor is because of business, because of intelligence, because of heredity and so on, we must be sure that being rich or poor has been determined and cannot be changed, but what we can do is try our best, but we must always remember that the best effort does not guarantee that we can be rich, sometimes people think that by doing business, investment, education or other things will make them rich, but after we look at the facts in life, many people are poor not because of education, business or anything else.

Kinda sucks tho for some children especially the eldest ones to be made like a retirement fund of their parents. That surely is why some people when they grow up to stay poor. There are just parents that are bullshitting their children that they wanted them to be successful, but the truth is that they wanted them to get their shit cleaned up by their own without any sort of support. It happens here in Asian countries commonly. Not entirely sure in Western Culture.

people who are still poor today does not mean that they do not try, but they have not found a point where their business can indeed go as expected, everyone wants to be rich and can feel success but there are some things that are still hindered from achieving everything they want, so I don't think anyone wants to live a poor life until the end of life, All are struggling to be able to achieve everything they want right now but it all takes time.

I do not think that there is a parent like that. Children are the hope of their parents. So naturally, parents wanted their children to be successful. Parents who failed to finish their study even dreams of their kids graduating because it is their frustration.

Unfortunately, my parents were the same way. They kept telling me that I would never make it, that I was incapable of anything. Eventually, when the opportunity arose, we started living separately. I managed to overcome the loser complex they instilled in me, but not everyone does.

It takes an inner core and good willpower to break out of poverty.

Everyone certainly wants a lot of wealth. so do lower and middle class people. they all continue to struggle to raise their standard of living to be higher, namely to become wealthy people. but everyone's career journey is always different. some are running smoothly and some are full of obstacles.

However, I think that to become wealthy, what we need to prepare is a strong mentality, high knowledge, not giving up easily and having the courage to take risks.

Taking risk is part of becoming rich.

You'll see how all of those rich people that have taken the biggest risk of their lives and they do understood that if what they're about to do becomes a failure, they just have to start somewhere else.

But with that big leap of faith, they've taken the risk and those that have become successful managed to reach their goal and made them rich. It may look as easy as it is but the real thing isn't, there's a ladder for success and you may take one step at a time.

Taking risks is not enough, you must have enough factors such as solid psychology, knowledge, and not give up before all difficulties...If you take a risk and invest in something you don't know what it is, you will never succeed, even if you risk a hundred times more.

Success or becoming rich is an extremely arduous journey, sometimes we have applied it all, but there is no guarantee that we will succeed. But if we just wait for luck to come and do nothing, getting rich will never come to us.

Imagine if we can choose? I think most people will choose to be rich but maybe there are still lessons that we can get if we are born poor. Most of the times, poor people are the ones who are kind and care about the others, and it's still possible to get up and be rich even if you started as a poor person. You will feel more superior this way than those who already existed as rich.

The obvious way to be rich is to grind hard but I think there are some who only do minimal effort but still got lucky and hit the jackpot later on but usually these are the type of people who will not value their blessings which resulted for them to go back to their old poor lives again.

It is clear that no one wants to be born poor, but we cannot choose to be poor, and when I was a child I did not feel any negativity about poverty, it was my parents' concern and not me.

To some extent, I am lucky because I live in better times, I have more opportunities, I have a better education, and I can earn good money. Now I can choose how long I want to work, and my earnings will depend on this, so the conditions and place also play a very significant role in determining our well-being.

Yes, there are those who do not want to do something for this, laziness is also one of the reasons that a person remains at the same level.

My first question for you would be: Why do people stay poor? The answer may surprise you. It is not because they don't want to work hard. It's not because they don't know how to earn a living. It's not because they are lazy or unwilling to work hard enough. It's because they have been systematically lied to by the leaders who claim to represent them, and so they believe that it's impossible for them to succeed

There are many reasons why people stay poor. People who are poor are often in desperate situations, such as unemployment and homelessness. In addition, there is little incentive for them to seek alternate employment because their current jobs don't pay enough for them to make the most of their time.

The cause of poverty lies, first and foremost, in our thinking and upbringing. If, as a child, parents form an image of failure, telling the child that he is someone who cannot, that he will never succeed, then what can we expect from such a child when he grows up? Nothing worthwhile.

Of course there are many things that make it difficult for someone to let go of poverty and achieve a more established life, such as becoming a rich person. and one of the environmental factors and also other factors is as you convey. the role of parents is also important in shaping a child's personality so that he becomes an optimist. whereas if parents are wrong in educating a child can become a pessimistic character. and it is this pessimism that can be the biggest obstacle to achieving success. because the pessimist is always filled with fear and does not dare to try things that he is not at all good at. even pessimistic people will find it difficult to adapt to the surrounding environment. so pessimistic people are like people who lose before fighting.

Many factors underlie a person who is poor is very difficult to be rich. One of them is like minimal relationships, minimal capital, minimal knowledge, minimal experience, and minimal steps that have been taken. the factors that cause us to lack relationships, knowledge and experience are usually caused by laziness dominating our lives too much.

someone who is lazy to build relationships, lazy to learn, lazy to act and try new things and many more things that we can't do because we are lazy. Regrets may come in the future. but we have to overcome laziness quickly before we regret it in the future. how to grow high motivation within us.
we must have a goal or ideals to be achieved. and we have to focus on that. and that will usually encourage us to be hard workers and leave laziness behind.

and most of the rich are those who continue to work tirelessly. they also continue to learn and learn and improve every step that has been taken and will be taken. and surely they are not Lazy.

We cannot choose to be born poor or rich, but when we are born poor it doesn't mean we don't have the opportunity to become rich. How to make that happen, yes, by trying and not just sitting idly by while waiting for a miracle to come, that's a ridiculous thing. The process will not be easy, it must be very difficult, but while we try, there is no impossible word. Yes, I understand that fate says otherwise, but that doesn't mean we stop trying, because life is really about trying to be able to live as well as possible, be it in terms of the economy or anything else.

Imagine if we can choose? I think most people will choose to be rich but maybe there are still lessons that we can get if we are born poor. Most of the times, poor people are the ones who are kind and care about the others, and it's still possible to get up and be rich even if you started as a poor person.

That's the problem because I really think everyone has the same thought to be able to live properly and be born rich when indeed we are told to choose rich or poor.

But as you said, there is always a lesson to be learned because we also live, of course there must be a goal, but when we are told to choose rich or poor when we are in the world what is the purpose? even life will be chaotic because it is not balanced because there are only rich, no poor, so life will not be colorful.

Besides those ideas will be overridden by the experience and exploration of a person. At the end of the day, it is his own personal doings why a person stays poor. Lazy, uneducated, failure to learn from the failure of others and self-pity is some of the reasons why a person stays poor. If a person stops learning, it will be the decline of his social status.

One of the major factor of why some people stay poor could be attributed to the poor management of resources at there home country particularly in country where their leaders are corrupt due to embezzlement of funds that will make a lot of poor people to become rich unfortunately fell into few hands, funds can be allocated for massive infrastructural development which can be contracted to people who will execute those projects in the process become rich or dispose to people in form of loans for investment which in turn would yield massive profits for the investors is another way of becoming rich.

I agree with your statement, the country has abundant natural resources and agricultural products, especially in tropical parts of the country, but because of bad management and officials who only enrich themselves by taking advantage of positions in government, they make rules and do not care about the impact on society. The saddest thing is that they have failed to prosper the people and demand that the people pay taxes on time, so the poverty factor is also influenced by the impact of the government because they do not create jobs and there are no welfare programs for the people, they also corrupt social assistance funds which should be distributed to the people.

Mate please more to this I am confused here.

Who doesnt really want to get themselves being rich or have those hopes or likes or plans on getting rich or improve out their lviing? None right?
It is really just that these people cant able to do so due to several factors.

1. Lack of financial capacity on starting up an investment
2. Lack of knowledge
3. Just been contented on where they are
4. Doesnt really see out potential oppprtunities

If you are an individual on whose do have these kind of hindrances then its not really that shocking on why you are still that poor.
