You could be great at managing money and still poor because of the systems in place to benefit the wealthy and punish the poor.

Again, being good with money will not dismantle the way it is against us.

I think a lot of people misunderstood what I wrote.

I agree that many of us are kept "poor" because of how the system is stacked against us. But you can have more than enough money and still be poor because you aren't good at managing it.

There does need to be some personal responsibility, along with a rebalancing of the system.
