> Being poor affects your patterns of thought, your behaviours, your language, and your culture.
Yes, and being an adult gives the opportunity to change your patterns, behavior, language, and culture.
I've had a lot of destructive attitudes and behaviors formed young that I've discarded because they don't work. It's not easy, but it can be done. I still have a number of bad habits to work on :-/
> If you are poor, you only get one roll of the die.
In America, there are more rolls. For example, migrants walk a thousand miles to get in, have nothing, then they start businesses. Oprah went from welfare to billionaire, for example.
