I'm just wondering what keeps people down financially despite all the struggles. In fact it even artisans that work so hard that are poorer,,why is this so?

maybe because of their lifestyle... maybe they spend too much than they earn... people should be wise in spending especially nowadays...

@augusta123 that's the reality of life... we have to work and work in order to live.. if we don't work , then we will suffer from hunger and eventually we die...

Unplanned budget and overspending is the main cause I believe. I believe in cutting the Coat according to the cloth available.

So long as people spend more than what they earn then they will remain poor irregardless of work output

In a economy money makes balance between demand and supply. Less demand less money, more supply also means less money. Steady demand= steady supply I.e. Good money.

@augusta123 People work very hard and they even work several jogs at once and prices keep going up. No matter what they do they cannot make ends meet.

Mindset. Lack of financial education. A good example is online survey websites that pay you $0.05 and you will spend 30 mins. on them. Instead of getting new skills and searching for something else, people work there to get at least this sum of money

People need to learn how to be contented. Let's face it, we have this feeling that even we don't need just to be n trend or because we want it we'll going to buy it. If you know how to spend money wisely, maybe we can save more.

Not following a monthly budget, going out to eat instead of eating at home, buying stuff you don’t need can make it hard to live just right. Despite all the hard work you put in, if you don’t follow a budget you will feel like your still struggling.

Absolutely true

Most of the people live in present. They earn they spend. If we save a little daily, not instantly but slowly and gradually we can conquer poverty. Sometime, political games and high prices and inflamations and sickness play a bad role too
