In short, most of them don't have the capability to invest as they are just living from paycheck to paycheck. Only those who have excess can have the option to invest, hence, most people in the poor category don't have the mindset to set aside funds because they are barely surviving. And with such capability, some of them are trying their luck in gambling, for the main reason that they are trying to hit their luck. And also, it will only require small amount of money to enter in this game.
Well said. Poor people have definitely goals to invest as well, but looking at their current financial condition, it would be hardly possible. Investing takes sufficient amount of capital, and waiting for its returns could also take a lot of time. That’s why instead of investing, they resort on trying their luck with gambling with just few bucks. Lucky if they win, but feel sorry once they lose. That’s how poor people deal with gambling.
If we talk about poor people then yes of course it is a situation where sometimes they even have difficulty meeting their daily needs, meaning as you said that it does not mean they do not want to be involved in investment like other people but indeed the situation does not support or does not allow, but for the matter of desire yes of course there will always be some of them who want to be involved in the investment.
And on the other hand in most cases yes as you said that poor people prefer everything that is instant in terms of producing, the financial situation and circumstances are one of the factors that encourage them to get instant results where simply they think that by winning in gambling then it will be able to help them to ease the burden of their lives, but however yes of course that is the wrong mindset. So I think that poor people should not be involved in these two activities, namely investment and gambling.
