But i agree that poor people should have education about investing, so that doesn't seem like something they could never afford.

Getting education and knowledge related to investment is indeed quite important for poor people. but more than the thinking of people with low finances is to take advantage of opportunities. and that is what is provided by casinos and betting houses.
Especially if supported by the very easy way for them to access services, such as being able to bet with small money. it brings people with poor finances closer to choosing to gamble than investment.

Poor people do not have the financial ability to make a profit from investment even though they understand the knowledge related to investment, but limited finances will not make a profit from investment from equity companies, bank investments and others only have a low percentage profit, their assumption that gambling can generate higher profits than the amount of budget that has been deposited into gambling, they consider gambling as an alternative to make a profit even though they know that gambling is very risky for financial loss. However, they need to get socialization to avoid gambling addiction from professional help or anyone who is competent to be a resource person to remind them to gamble responsibly and limit their budget in betting.

That is why I believed that education is the key, invest in ourselves so that in the future this is the only weapon that we can have to become rich, we need to have specific talents that we can only get it we are in school or universities. There is only that small percentage of drop out that really become so famous and successful and have a lot of money.

For gambling, we all know the ill effects of it, will not be the source of our wealth unless we hit the jackpot in lottery. And then we need more discipline, because if we don't and we don't know how and where to invest that money, then sooner or later it will just disappear as quickly.
