I remember a post here before saying that it was better to just not aim for experiencing luxurious things because you will get used to it and it will be difficult when you go back to not being able to afford them.

Yay! Acknowledgment of my post!

It made me think of whether there is a difference between people who grew up poor and people who grew up rich when it comes to their dreams and aspirations and goals.

Certainly! If you are born in rich household, you'll have house, car, other posh experiences handed to you on a silver platter while poor people will be toiling for same for large part of their lifetime.

Quote
Are poor people more prone to staying poor because they have become complacent?

I have only realized recently how much deep conditioning runs so I would not be surprised if poor 'conditioning' holds one back in life.

Quote
Are poor people just working for mere survival or with the hopes of living a better life far beyond what they can ever comprehend?

From what I have seen, most poor people live for survival, and there won't be time to think for anything else.
