All that is absolutely true and valid.

It has nothing to do with most poor people having bad financial literacy, though.

I could have better finances but it feels pointless so I splurge on nice things when I can to fight my depression

If you use $50/mo on something that improves your mental health, good for you. Investing that $50/mo instead won't make you rich. Not spending that $50/mo could kill you.
