It is generally believed that material wealth is often determined by many objective factors, while spiritual wealth mainly depends on one's own will. The poorer a person is, the more they need a rich spiritual world to hide in when things don't go well in reality. Despite being materially poor, they can still find solace in a beautiful and peaceful Mount Zhongnan in their spiritual world, and they can barely survive. But if a person is both materially and spiritually poor, how can they live? However, in your country's reality, poor people have to work overtime, work 996, and take on part-time jobs in order to survive and support their families and homes. They put all their energy into making money through work, and they have no time or energy to take care of their spiritual world. Therefore, many poor people are both materially and spiritually poor. But there is one exception, which is poor people with low material desires who choose not to marry, have children, or buy houses. They have time and energy to focus on their spiritual world. There are more and more people like this because human beings are essentially spiritual beings. They are not like animals who only need to be fed and clothed. They also have spiritual needs, which for many people come before housing and marriage. For every poor person in this country, the biggest and often overlooked reality is that they must work hard their entire lives to meet the most basic needs of being a normal person: food, clothing, love, marriage, housing, children, socializing, entertainment, etc. All of these require you to work hard and earn money in exchange. Making money is for living, but life is not for making money. More and more poor people realize this reality and feel that it is not worth it. They must make choices and sacrifices, so there are more and more poor people who choose not to marry, have children, or buy houses. This is the price they have to pay in order to have free time to meet other needs, such as spiritual needs. Those who are still working crazy hours, working 996, and doing everything they can to buy houses and have children can only be said to have stronger material desires and endurance. There must be something wrong with this society. Personally, I can't see any hope.

AI-generated summary
Generally speaking, material wealth is often determined by objective factors, while spiritual wealth is mainly determined by one's own will. Poor people need a rich spiritual world to escape from reality, even though they may be materially poor. However, in reality, many poor people in this country have to work multiple jobs and have no time or energy to cultivate their spiritual world. The exception is those who have low material desires and choose not to marry, have children, or buy a house. They have time and energy to focus on their spiritual world. More and more poor people are realizing that they need to prioritize their spiritual needs over material desires. They understand that life is not just about making money. This realization leads to more people choosing not to marry, have children, or buy a house. They are willing to sacrifice these things in order to have more freedom and fulfill their other needs. Those who continue to work long hours and prioritize material desires are seen as having stronger desires and endurance. This society has a problem, and I personally cannot see any hope.
