Some people are born rich or moderately rich, some are born middle class and some are born poor or extremely poor. All these conditions come along with a set of survival guides that the parents, relatives and even teachers will pass along as a map of life.
It's obvious that while some persons are born in linage of poverty is due to the initial foundations of their parents and the same thing is applicable to some people who are born in the wealthy family also, so what we are suppose to be looking at now is the factors that attribute or causes poverty and how to eradicate them for the offsprings.
I think the first solution to poverty is education. Education the young poor person gives a more brighter opportunity for future success rather than leaving them uneducated. Education prepares someone for the future even when opportunity is not presented at the current moment, a truly educated and knowledgeable person can find a way to survive. There is a relationship between education and knowledge because education sharpens knowledge and it gives the ability to apply the knowledge very well. Like Martin Luther said about living ready, this is important and can be guaranteed with education.
