I will say that people stay poor because they choose to keep making bad choices. Nobody has to be poor. Yes, it is a choice.
That said, it is possible to live a comfortable stable existence with very little money but very few people choose to live that way. Most would rather live beyond their means and subject themselves to being a debt slave.
If you are sick of being 'poor' then calculate how much you spend at Starbucks in a week or how much you spend on fast food. Take that money and INVEST INVEST INVEST.
Yeah, because people who work 2 full time jobs at minimum wage but still don't make enough money to do anything but live in an efficiency eating peanut butter sandwiches (6'2", 135 lb and getting lighter is where my uncle was at before he got married) are spending all of their money at Starbucks and McDonald's.
