[QUOTE="smapple, post: 1494644, member: 55535"] Being poor usually entails poor long term future planning either as a cause and/or effect and it becomes a cycle. That means poor people usually tend to think only in the short term, which translates into immediate gratification. And suddenly getting rich won't fix the problem since that money is spent until it's gone. One solution would be to have elders who already lived through the pain of poverty share their experiences to the younger gen about how to avoid the pitfalls of being poor and the knowledge would eventually accumulate with each passing generation until they break out of it, but who wants to listen to old people talk when there's people to kill and money to hustle?
