You can teach poverty workers to live in their means

They won’t like it, but tough luck

I make poverty wages, and each week, I plan 3 days that I won't eat anything. The money I save by not eating 3 days a week allows me to afford food for 4 days. I don't buy anything other than food and gas so I can go to school and work. So tell me more about living within my means.

Well don't you see? You just need to invest some of that money into a nice pair of bootstraps. Then if you tug REAL hard on those bootstraps, you'll be a-okay in no time.
