I mean. Let's say Kid A is poor, but spends their day inside playing video games, has a basic understanding of technology, still smokes some weed from time to time, like's to read and get's books and games to play from the library.

Now there is Kid B who is poor, but likes to spend his nights with a group of young men who like to break into places, steel cars, do drugs, get's arrested multiple times, etc.

Now say they both get a job at a fast food place. Kid A and their interests don't interfere too much with showing up on time and job duties.

Kid B misses days because they are dodging the cops, got injured from the hijinks, maybe spent the night in jail and was a no call no show for work.

Who do you think is going to do better in life and their career after 18 years old? Who do you want as your neighbor? Who is going to pay rent? Afford a kid and to help raise it properly?

If your hobby is "hood rat shit"/"meth head shit" with "hood rat friends"/"meth head friends" you will be poor.
