Poor people and rich people are NOT at all the same

Poor people and rich people are NOT at all the same. They ARE like two separate species.

Anyone who has worked with both knows that class is a real thing, and it correlates strongly with wealth.

Additionally, more successful people tend to have better manners, be more honest, and have superior cooperation and communication skills. That’s how they became successful.

Ask any of the X money guys. They prefer working with rich clients, not just because of the money but because they are easier to work with.

Poverty and wealth are the result of choices, which in aggregate are called habits, which are chosen based on personality traits, which are genetically coded (with some wiggle room through training).

No matter how poor you are at birth, if you are:

  • Low in agreeability.
  • High in conscientiousness.
  • High in openness.
  • Low in neuroticism.
  • Moderate or higher in extroversion.
  • 120+ in IQ.
  • Possessing robust health.

You will climb out of poverty and move a few classes above where you were born.

Even just possessing half of those traits might be enough to escape poverty.

On the other hand, you can give a broke man a million dollars, and he will be broke again in a few months. I’ve seen it happen; just look at most lottery winners for example.
