This is true, being poor is very expensive, because in addition to thinking big in an easy way, we are the great mass that feeds the fortunes of the rich.

> Contrary to popular belief, being poor is very expensive. 

Really thought provoking concept.

When you're unable to pay for the little things required just to survive, you end up taking on more risk or debt that compounds even further into the negative.

If you're rich however, you can just use your excess money to compound into the positive.

Life...

It sure is expensive to be poor. 

It is expensive to need money fast too.

Speaking of banks why do they charge a monthly fee on accounts that don't or can't maintain a minimum balance? These are the folks who can least afford a monthly fee hello.

Actually I wanted to comment that I was one of those poor folks who felt they didn't fit into the networking environment on 2 different occasions. It was a tough inner battle to get me to go each week to the social media professional networking event in Seattle. That must have been circa 2009 or 2010. The monthly city of music networking was easier to convince myself to go, however I would drink way too much. Mainly due to feeling I din't fit in.

However all the networking I could and failed to accomplish in those real world networking events were easy online??? I spent a large amount of time back then thinking about that. The conclusion I came to is that those groups online I participated in never really discussed how much we earned. While in both of those real world events the topic of money would come up. Seldom but still was there.

Even knowing those feelings are wrong it is hard to get pass them, possible but very difficult. Both of those helped me immensely with various projects I worked on back then. However if I had more confidence and less feeling of being an outsider I could have got 100% or even 1000% more out of them then I did.

Yes it costs more to be poor... especially in countries with some sort of social system that helps those making under a specific amount of income.  I have seen too many chose to stay u der that income just so that can keep the free Healthcare and food vouchers coming. 

It's a tough thing g, because in the end we all have a choice, ko matter what card we've been delt. With cars for example, the middle class can afford the car they want instead of one that is just enough to get the job done, jut they do it at a premium through debt. It can be detrimental to building building any kind of wealth, and trust me they also fall prey easily to "get rich qiick" schems.

In the end it's all about mind-set, the poor need to stop thinking they're to stay poor, jut u fortunately like you said the education also comes from whatever is available on hand. 

It's a difficult topic really.

That is the great thing about the [Internet](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-internet) in general and [Hive](https://leofinance.io/@crypto-guides/what-is-hive-crypto-hive) in particular.  Here nobody knows what your background is so it is all a clean slate.  Simply get active and you will have no problems.

And with how things are going, stacking some [$HIVE](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-usdhive) and [$HBD](https://leofinance.io/@crypto-guides/what-are-hive-backed-dollars-hbd) along with some other tokens will mean one will not be poor for long.

Poor people fall victim of scammers than rich people because they'd often consider a new opportunity to be the next big thing while going extra miles where necessary. The disappointment leaves them much worse than their initial state.

The issue of social exclusion is much worse. They'd often have this inferiority complex which will not allow them express themselves among people with a higher social status, thus missing out on genuine opportunities due to fear of being judged.
