It is very correct because no one would want to be poor.
Being poor: fate or choice?

I agree, even if I strongly prefer the word predestination to fate. If you try your best to improve your situation, but:
-plan n.1 fails...
-plan n.2 fails...
-plan n. 3 fails...
Well, when plan n.3 fails, I'd begin to think that choice has nothing to do, it's not your fault at all, but outdoor circumstances we can't control at all are the guilty. OK, maybe plan n.4 will work to not die in poverty, even if it won't make you wealthy.
Actually, there are two scenerios of how poverty actually works(is), the truth is, if you are born poor, it's not your fault, you can't actually control your birth in anyway, but if you die poor, it's actually your fault, it's not fate at all. It's only fate if you where born with it

What is clear is that no one wants to remain poor and we all try, but for example, many forums have recently stopped paying users. Online income is becoming more limited day by day. It doesn't matter how hard we try

In my opinion, luck definitely has a great influence in life. As you said, sometimes unpredictable problems happen in life that are beyond our control. That's why I don't think being poor is always your fault

I agree. It doesn't matter how hard life is. Either way, we have no choice but to keep trying. Maybe one day life conditions will go according to our wishes. hope for everyone
We cannot choose the level of our health (and less, our parents', grandparents', siblings', relatives'). If our health (and our family members') never gets into a reasonable range and we live in a country that doesn't know the term wealfare, all family's chances to live as poor people are high. And it's not our fault at all.
Poverty is something that not anyone chooses. Most people find themselves in it because it was passed down to them, i.e generational poverty. They adopt mindsets and behaviours that are so hard to break yet they make them poorer. You can choose to break out of generational poverty by taking time to learn financial literacy.

Yes, the country is very important. I see people say that even in underdeveloped countries you can make money if you are smart but I don't think so. Your destiny is not in your hands in these countries

you're right. Yes, many people from poor countries became rich, but they became footballers or actors. Maybe you don't want to become a footballer and you want to earn a good income with a normal job, but in these countries, such a thing is not possible. Not everyone can become a footballer
Yes, sure: to become a footballer it's necessary inborn skills and unfortunately it's not everyone owning them. To become actors and actresses, skills are not the sole requirements, but favourable circumstances too (to be in the right spot at the right time). Better said, favourable circumstances are above all in this case. And in my former country, it's even very much worse: a woman, to become an actress, must get involved into prostitution first. No other way, if she doesn't come from a family of a politician or in any way a very powerful family. In my former country, meritocracy is unknown.
In an extremely corrupted country as my former one (less some autonomous areas), as I explained above, in fact it's pretty impossible to change your previous condition.

Yes, these things you say are completely true and exist in all countries. In general, I think it is not possible to get rich in some countries unless it is your destiny.
In my personal opinion, poverty is not a choice, because no one chooses his life to be poor, if we see people at the port they work hard, transport goods etc. but why are they not rich. I also can't say poverty is fate, but what often happens is that poverty doesn't have a chance or has neglected a golden opportunity.
