We can say that poverty refers to lack of money, We can consider weather individual are able to full fill their basic needs or not. If He/she are able to full fill their family's basic needs then we cannot consider them under poverty level. Poverty is said to exist when people lack the means to satisfy their basic needs. There are several things to determine poverty like poor education, unemployment, over population etc. We can reduce poverty with Productivity and incomes from occupations and livelihoods are important factors for reducing poverty. Social conditions such as health, nutrition, education and housing influence productivity, thus affecting poverty status.

I believe that poverty is one of the most controversial issues. The fact is that there is a dilemma about who would you give a million dollars to: to a thousand poor strangers or to one native person? There is no right answer to such a question. My friend crypto millionaire likes to serve to the poor. And I think it's not right. I immediately remember the saying: do not give the poor a fish, but teach him to fish, because then he will be full all his life.

While you are indeed right about that, there is nothing wrong with what your friend is trying to do because serving the poor literally much better than doing nothing, the fact that he is a millionaire doesn't mean that he's the only one that is entitled to help the poor because you too mate have the power to help them. You might not have the resources to help them financially but I'm quite sure that you can teach them how to fish, right?

Yes, that's why I often give advice on the forum in the category of Beginners and Help Smiley

I don't mind sharing with the poor, because everyone who has ever been hungry knows this feeling very well, and has a strong empathy for those who are not particularly lucky in life. Nevertheless, help is available only to those who want to be helped themselves. The world is full of those who themselves have become hostages of alcohol, drugs, gambling addictions. And it is very difficult to help such people, it is almost impossible. At the same time, there are many gifted guys who, like uncut diamonds, have great motivation and potential.
People themselves are the ones who are creating up their fate on which if they wont act and do hard work then there would be no progress on their life on which it would really be that understandable on such situation on

which there would be no upgrade or big changes and they would really remain the same.Its true that to those people who are really that financially stable or something that you could put yourself into those individuals who could afford on buying everything or something in between then its up to them whether they would really get pity into those people who are struggling on daily living.Yes, we could provide out some help but not into the point that we would really be making them lazy.Im not saying that they are really that all lazy but most of them are really that having behavior and this is why they wont really be having progress.

I have seen some of known person in the community on which they had been having a life on struggles but ending up on a few years on having their own house and having their own car.
Why? they have able to make out some investment and wise decisions on how they would really be stirring up their life decisions engaging into something more worth.
