Great post Tank.
The people in life who really try to have a good life usually do. While not everyone will wind up a millionaire, it is not hard to keep food on the table, a roof over your head, a car in the garage, and a cell phone in your pocket. Sure, you might struggle from time to time, but on the whole, being successful is only as hard as trying. Everyone I know who can't do the above only fail because they don't show up to work, refuse to go to school, or can't get along with others.
The crazy part is, most people who think they are poor have an incredible lifestyle compared to fairly wealthy people less than a century ago. Think about all of the poor people who are fat (because they have no problems affording food), have a cell phone (a luxury people could have scarcely conceived of a century ago), have an air conditioned house and car, and get drunk every night.
