stupidity is so close to poverty, do you agree with such a phrase?
if it yes, means the poor are the fools.
I want to know your opinion.

I totally agree with this, because how can you possibly manage your wealth when you are stupid? everyone will take the opportunity from you and leave you alone. In my country, we have the saying "Seek knowledge to the land of China" which means, we have to study to the highest level and be smart so we can avoid poverty.
You forgot the power of wealth that you can be able to go to a good school, you can do home school too who can teach you with everything, so let's not close the door with this kind of chances, when we have money, we can do the possible things ( if ever) but, yeah in real life, those who has a good knowledge has more advantage over stupid person who doesn't know how to think well in every situation.
Well stupidity doesn't alwats equate to lack of knowledge. Many smart people can act stupid a lot of times. It be because of belief, indoctrination, culture, etc. Not all people who can think logically act on it. There will be those who will put common sense aside in favor of something that's based on emotion. A lot of rich people are like that.
