The problem is that these people do work hard, but then go spend their money on useless shit.

Expensive phones, $200 headphones, have several TVs, tablets, brand name clothes, etc.

Instead, you can cut it down to the minimum and probably save an extra $200 per month.

Plus, you can go online and learn a new skill, then use that to make additional money.

I worked in a call centre making shit money, but spent several years learning to be a copywriter and building a business.

I went from charging $5 for two hour's work to getting sometimes $100 for one hour of work.

Also got a personal training certificate to make additional funds on the side. There is no excuse with the combination of free learning and the booming economy that anybody with half a brain should be living in extreme poverty.
