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.
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.
