Being born poor is no one’s fault but their parents. However dying poor is entirely up yours.
Being poor in most cases is not the fault of the parents because you may not no what they have gone through in making sure they became successful in other to better the lives of there children, so firstly before judging in that regards we should also no that privileges that exist now was not there during there time of youth and in some places there only source of livelihood was through farming and there was no much better opportunities for them to go into other things, though there are parents that had better opportunities that would have possibly change there lives but they allow it to sleep through there hands but however I believe that if things were to be like this during there time majority of them would have been very successful because they were even more hardworking than this era, so perhaps since our parents was unable to provide us with all the necessary things at least we should make an effort to make things different and create another chapter for ourselves.
@OP, if you think your parents are the reason you are poor, what have you done to escape poverty and have you helped your parents? Are you married and have you provided a comfortable life for your children? Or are you also struggling with life and still dependent on your parents for support?
Thank you for that question because that was what I forgot to ask the Op earlier because if he believes that his parents was the reason why he is poor he also should have try and become rich because during the time his parents was young I believe that they had nobody to depend on financially because they were struggling on there own, so is very wrong for him to have that mindset against his parents, perhaps I don't think he is married already if not he would have understand and besides there is nothing wrong for him to work hard and make sure that his children never go through any form of poverty as he claims to be.
