Who would want to stay poor, right? The intention of the OP is to convey a message or lesson in a sarcasm way. He stated the possible reason why you are still poor or that it's leading you to be poor, but that's not the only reason or people make why they can't climb up finamvial statis; there are more reasons, natural or by certain events. As we know, those people who live in the street, many of them don't want to be in that situation but are unlucky because they have been born poor, and because of the lack of money, they can't study and find a job, or worse, they don't have the skills and capability to work. Being poor by certain events, like being bankrupt or being addicted to something, will lead to you being poor. The question is, will you want to stay poor? If it is, then you have a problem.
