7. Entitlement mentality

People born in poor homes usually believe that they are entitled to the money and possessions of the affluent ones around them.


8. Lack of Appreciation

Poor people are usually ungrateful and can go to the extent of blaming their benefactor for their woes even when they were miserable long before he/she came around.


9. Belief in Juju

Poor people relate every single positive/negative occurrence to the spiritual. They also believe success is attained by juju because they were born into a home where nothing big happened no matter the level of effort put in.


10. Competition

Poor people are highly competitive. This is because they are easily intimidated by everything. A neighbour laughing in his apartment can cause poor people to bring 3 of their lousy friends to disturb the vicinity the next day. A neighbour bringing home a chick for the night can lead to poor man bringing 3 dirty skanks for the next 3 days. The worst is you having anything they don't have. Poor people can compete against a 5KVA generator with an I Pass My Neighbour or their hire purchase Keke Marwa against a 4Runner jeep. When poor people can no longer compete they resort to gossip to try and destroy the reputation of the person they lost to.


Before you fear women, fear poor people.
You are so on point. Your input nailed it more than the Op's. 👍👍👍

Unnecessarily stingy and even stingy to themselves.

Every bad thing happening to them is attached to spirituality.

They might use tin to measure rice for their wives.


To them, buying ice cream at cold stone is a waste.

Who prays or wishes to be poor?
Life is not a competition!!
Rich or Poor.. There's no difference under the sun.
Stop all this oppression
Stop mocking people you feel you're better than.. They can be more happy than you with your billions.

So what exactly are we supposed to do with this useless write up? How does it affect anything.?
So being into a poor home is now a disease?
Or does being born by poor parents means one will be poor forever?

This shitty write up is not only stupid, its from the mind of a useless person and ur senseless points are not even true.
So many great/rich people today were born into poor homes , we can mention sooo many of them and all these garbage u wrote dont apply to them

So shove this useless junk down ur throat.
JOBLESS FOOOOOL .

I can't say I was born into a poor family.

But I certainly place a lot of emphasis on a number of these.

It's down to personality that anything else.

1. Concerns about Food Security: Constant worries about food and nutrition might stem from past financial difficulties. People from such backgrounds might struggle with weight, have an aversion to wasting food, or develop poor eating habits.…CONTINUE READING

2. Saving the Best for Last.

Leaving the best part of a meal for the end is a habit developed from the anticipation of scarcity. This way, the most enjoyable part is savored for longer.

3. Reluctance to Splurge.

Individuals who’ve experienced financial challenges might delay non-essential purchases, adhering to a “delayed shopping” rule to ensure they’re spending wisely.

4. Working Hard for Small Earnings.

Growing up knowing that consistent income is essential, even if meager, can create a fear of job loss. This fear motivates them to work hard to secure their livelihood.

5. Valuing Possessions.

Developing an attachment to personal belongings is a common trait among those who’ve had to work hard for what they own.

6. Yearning for Miracles.

People who haven’t experienced financial hardship may see winning the lottery or hambling as a way to attain happiness. Those who’ve faced destitution differentiate between urgent needs and unrealistic hopes for miracles.

Being broke is a material state, but being poor is a mental state. Although most poor people are broke, not all poor people are broke. Brokeness can happen to anybody, even millionaires.

But poverty, that one needs deliverance. Poverty affects your character, taste, future, surroundings, friends, hobbies, life choices, partner choice, just name it.
This is deep. I hope most get this.

I concur to the last one because I am seeing it happening before my eyes in my compound. I am on my own living my life while people feeling so intimidated by my existence. Whatever I do they want to do it but when they can’t continue doing the same they result to beefing and showing aggression towards me. The envy and jealousy is so obvious. Now I fear poor people as my neighbours.

The worst is those up coming poor yahoo boys, they prefer contributing money to rent a flat in an expensive compound where they would be feeling intimidated by other people living peacefully on their own.

You see this thing poverty. Its a thing of the mind
Its a stronghold. More than 60 percent of Nigerians have this mentality. The fear of tomorrow. Thats why you see politicians steal , civil servant also steal public funds. Because of the fear of i may not have it tomorrow. Is a very indication that Nigerians generally have this mentality

They beleive that speaking English does not make one intelligent... yet they can't speak English properly

They believe in village people.

They think suffering is a flex... See, if I tell you how I suffered... That's their gist.

They think people that are rich are rich by grace. They don't understand the concept of intelligent work.
