> It is difficult for those that have never lived in poverty to understand the struggles that it brings. I think this is giving too big of a pass to wealthy people. If wealthy people put in the effort, it isn't hard to understand the struggles that living in poverty bring. I think a better way of putting it is "It is very easy for those that have never lived in poverty to not consider the struggles that it brings". There is no difficulty in understanding, it is just easier to not every try to understand, so many wealthy people don't. It is a choice, though.
