Trapped! Or Dysfunctional?

It is hard for me to believe but there are really people who are trapped in poverty and are unable to get out. From a third party observer's perspective, I can see the dysfunctional mindset. Earning a reasonable pay and supporting the family can be challenging. It is very simple for me. The rule is to spend less than you earn. The 2nd rule is to find ways to earn more money, legally.

Someone who can ill afford anything can buy a Sony 42" HD TV really do not make any sense to me. However, on Sunday Times, the rich American Korean noticed rich fathers spent their time reading Wall Street Journal after work, poor fathers spent the time watching after work.

It is this dyfunctional thinking and habit that trap the poor to remain poor. Maybe they just have no desire to be rich.
