Anecdotal evidence is all I have, but the few people I've ever known who live in what would be considered poverty weren't like this at all. They were (mostly) young single mothers who worked crappy jobs and did what they could to make ends meet. They certainly weren't smoking and drinking and gambling away what little money they did have.

The reason is poor people are poor because they mismanage their money by gambling and boozing it all away. Rich people are rich because they're intelligent, organized, and great at life stuff.
That's the myth, anyway.
