When poor people think like a rich people, the result will be same for rich people and poor people people.If someone is doing job, he should know how to build a business. If he will  increase knowledge and experience about business and investing, he  would be owner of business in a few  years. In this way, anybody can escape from poverty. Because job holder has limited resources. He/she can increase knowledge and experience about business and can start a part a part time business. In this way, he has possibility to achieve success financially. He/ she can read books about real estate investing and can invest in real estate. He/she can  buy and sell running businesses. In this way , buy buying real assets anyone can become rich.
