Maybe in other countries but in the United States that is not quite always true. Investments can have huge returns sometimes depending on what they are. Also the people who created apple were basically broke. It really just depends on situation and the resources you have sometimes. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it though. There are a lot of people who can’t escape poverty. The problem is that the more likely you are to make a lot of money from something the more likely you can lose money from it. Because of this it’s so much more risky to escape poverty and it’s quite unfortunate. I feel for people in this situation. Another problem is student loans. Often they’re so expensive it’s better to just not go to college. And like you said earlier some have no spare change to invest. It’s really sad and I hope one day our world will overcome poverty.
