Most people dont even realize the real problems every poor family experiencing. I mean some people don't even have heat on a winter day. You can't even read a book on these circumstances, your body is under panic and you can't focus. I've been there, best way to survive is your friends and family and what I called reality-escape things like movies, music, art, games, creativity and NOT drugs. Some people prefer drugs or alcohol for the same reason, cause they can't escape using our nature's build-in tools. You may be rich one day but it's all about luck. It's easy to pursue something only if you have a healthy environment.
