I have always wanted to ask this question is it that there is no opportunity or they do not want to get rich
Mate please more to this I am confused here.

Being poor is not a choice- sometimes it is a mix of the failure of the system and the lack of any education on the part of the person. If there is one thing I realized while living in a third-world country, it is that being hardworking does not necessarily guarantee a bright future. Sometimes, the system forces a person to be poor despite being hardworking in his life.

Personally, I have witnessed several persons who are very hardworking but the opportunity for them to become rich is not there. The system fails the people in terms of providing better job opportunities and lifestyle in order to at least limit the burden of these people. For example, wages in a third-world country are relatively low and the costs of goods are very high, which prejudices these people greatly.

Sometimes the low-class family in superior nations are already considered rich in 3rd world countries. Being poor is not someone's fault even the word "staying poor" is not their choice, coz if they can choose to live a better life why not? It's just that they aren't given enough opportunities for them to change their life. I have personally experience myself being compared to other children's family, usually my grandma would say "look at him being a seafarer, engineer, teacher, police echetera... surely they have high wages and changed their lifestyle unlike you". Sometimes the pressure of being compared to someone can lose a person's confidence instead of using it as an inspiration. I have lived a life with a poor environment, and I understand them why they wanted me to be like other people, but even if they'd force me to be one, I won't.

I have also seen a lot of my batchmates trying hard to strive for their education but in the end, they didn't pursue their career due to lack of opportunity. I am not discouraging anyone who's struggling about their education, but in all honesty, once you graduate, it is up to you on how handle your life, not anyone even your family can do anything if there is no opportunity present. That is why some of my batchmates decided to work abroad coz they've realized that there's a huge lack of opportunity here in my country and even if there are, the competition is extremely huge and most of the time it requires a ton of money. In the 3rd world country, there's this popular saying that "if you want to have money, you need to have money", though it is absurd, once you live in this kind of environment it does make sense.

being poor can happen because of the circumstances of being born poor and must be full of power to turn him into rich, no one wants to be like this, even in my religion we must be able to be rich to be able to provide assistance to those in need, so many rich people are originally from poor people , so that in the end they do not forget their former origins so that they can benefit others, and I think people like that are real rich people, even though they have a lot of wealth for alms but their wealth increases. On the other hand, everyone's abilities are different, even though we are highly educated, but materially we may be inferior to others, but humans have different life goals, we often see that even though life is simple, children's education is the main goal, and they are satisfied with their achievements. , so that their children have a good education
