This is the land of opportunity and many people would trade their left arm for an American Passport... I have a hard time having sympathy for people that don't help themselves. I work a full time job and then work in my off time. I try and take one day off a month but that's my choice. The majority of people in poverty do not work multiple full time jobs or try to start their own company...
Wealth is all relative. In America, poor is not being able to buy a new car. In other countries, its not being able to buy your next meal. Regardless, even using your situation as an example, chances are even if you do make enough money to not need your regular job chances are you will not get "rich" off what you are doing in your lifetime. The system is set up to keep people where they are for the most part. Some people will make it, the majority won't despite their efforts.
