Those who are born into absolute poverty and are destined to live in it typically have an easier time with the money issue. They learn early not to expect wealth and so avoid wasting emotions on such aspirations. They become amotivational in this regard. Some, on the other hand, determine to break out of their status and relentlessly strive for their share of the gold. Generally, they are bright, very ambitious, and follow fellow models of success. They develop skills, become knowledgeable, develop expertise, and work very hard. A few of them make it, but frequently at great expense.
