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. 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.
Are poor people more prone to staying poor because they have become complacent? Or maybe because they are just not aware of the greater things in life since they have never experienced it ever? As opposed to someone who grew up rich but later on in life became poor, since he has experienced what it is to have a better life maybe he will be more motivated to get there.
Are poor people just working for mere survival or with the hopes of living a better life far beyond what they can ever comprehend?
Poor people simply don't have too big dream for the most part because they know those are out of reach but once they know how to be successful they'd aim for greater thing much like rich people.
It's just difference in the upbringing, once yo learned there are greater things out there you will yearn for it. Although unfortunately most of poor people just never get better financially because many things, some of the poor people that can leave their poverty sometime become even richer than the middle class or higher middle class.
They know both hardwork and to work smart.
