Waiting for this to devolve into another capitalism vs. socialism argument ft. the usual suspects

Anyhow, it's not a choice, but people aren't taught financial literacy nor do a lot of people have the excess capital to effectively take part in the "free market."

Ofc that's why I cook my own food and barely consume products, but it wouldn't put me in a higher wealth class if I just do that

If I was poor and I did that it wouldn't make me richer, and the people who invest in stocks have enough spare money to invest in stocks anyway, that's why rich people also make the most money out of stocks and it's more of a cheat for rich people to become richer

Yes but I didn't imply that saving alone will help you become wealthy. It's all about minimizing your spending to your essentials and making the money "work" for you.

In regard to stock market, the billionaires not only have enough money to invest but enough power to manipulate the stocks and get a return out of them

You can make all the perfect moves and take the best opportunities, except if there's one misstep, you're shuffled all the way down to the bottom of the totem pole.

Got good grades in high school, went to college for a higher education, got placed in an internship? Uh oh, your momma was stricken with a debilitating illness and the medical bills are out of control. Bye bye path to the middle class.

Doing good in college, even landed an internship at a big company? Too bad, COVID happened, so now your family's small business is failing, your internship was revoked, and it's becoming harder and harder to pay your tuition until you simply have to drop out. Bye bye path to the middle class.

Were you just simply never educated in the first place to take these steps to not be poor? Did you live in an environment that pressured you to commit crimes? Because of this, did your early decisions in life completely topple your path to becoming wealthy later?

Did you actually have an opportunity to leave that environment, but because of the guilt placed on you by family and friends, you decided to stay?

There are an infinite amount of reasons why the impoverished stay impoverished, even in first-world countries. Yeah, there are definitely choices to be made to excel yourself financially, but you're insinuating that these folk already know about these choices and are able to make these choices.

The reality is that a lot of the systems placed are against those who are working class. If we lived in good conditions, no one would be impoverished because our education and infrastructure and social programs would keep us well-kept. But we don't live in good conditions, at least in the US.
