As I grow older, I’ve come to realize that personal effort often pales in comparison to the power of existing social systems. Poverty isn’t just about the lack of financial resources—what’s even more disheartening is that discussions about poverty are usually led by those who have never experienced it themselves.
When you have the ability to climb a tall iroko tree, you will see everything below you and you will see everything that is happening under the ground. When you have money, there are alot of things you will see around you and that's what financial level brings to your table when you have money. If you have money, you will become the one seeing and not the one learning, that's why you see the rich always want to be richer and don't want to ever taste poverty because they wouldn't survive it.
Make as much as you can when you have the means and cut your responsibilities as you can. If you earn a million dollar as monthly and that money is distrubuted with any investment and preferences on what will give you value, you will find yourself one day that you are progressing at only trying to pay bills but you are not progressing at investment and you probably wouldn't have anything in the future as you grow older.
