Why People are Poor.

There are numerous individual reasons why someone becomes poor but there are a few underlying factors that I feel are most important to touch on. The majority of poor people became that way because they were either never given a decent chance or they were never taught how to manage their live and their money. For example if a child is born into an impoverished family they are automatically forced to defy the odds. They are never taught how to make, save, or use their money wisely, unless a good example happens to enter their life. This means they are never given the same opportunity as others, starting them off a step behind. On the other side some people become poor because they take advantage of what they are given. These people are given everything their whole lives until they abuse this, leaving them, an usually, their loved ones with nothing. This is when people spend all of their money on wants instead of needs until they have no money for their needs. This almost always leaves a person in debt which can easily lead to homelessness. While these scenarios are bad there is much worse that most people don't know about because they can't see it. This poverty takes place in third world countries. This extreme poverty can only be explained by history and continuous selfish leaders.
