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

People who were rich and got broke after are not comfortable with poverty. They will do everything within their power to get back to the top. And it can be easy since they already have work experience and connections with financially stable people.

Poor people can end up being comfortable with their situation if they live in a poor neighborhood. These set of people get used to their conditions and don't desire to break out of poverty. The motivation to become rich is built when you begin to interact or hang around rich people. The poor are comfortable with their state if they are not exposed to better life outside their poor mindset and environment.

People are mostly influenced by their environment, most times they don't see past the achievements in their environments, a person can feel rich and comfortable in a place but when they go to another place they will realize that they will be seen as poor. I think that it is better to be stepping forward in life, that is challenging yourself to be going to greater heights and every achievement will be celebrated by you. Where it is painful is if you where in a better place and position then see yourself going down, the effects are very negative both physically and emotionally. Although people who goes from grace to grass will have more drive to make it because they understand what it means to have riches more than those that have not tested riches before.
