People without money can't do things that require money on their own, if they can't do those things how will they ever know if they "like" those things?
The only reason a "poor" person would ever be able to do certain things is if a "rich" person (using quotations simply to mark a difference in wealth) paid for them to do it. Which, of course is possible, but is not something most "poor" people ever have happen to them not because of pride, but because of social circumstances just not exposing them to those "rich" people.
The few exceptions I've ever heard of are when old friends go through life and end up in vastly different financial situations, but stay close anyway. There are obviously more examples, but it's pretty rare for this to happen.
Again, not stating in any way that "poor" people cannot get along with or be friends with "rich" people, or vice versa, just saying that it's relatively rare for people of vastly different financial situations to ever cross paths and become part of the same social circles. The idea that you're able to do it doesn't disprove anything of what I'm saying, you're situation is just one of those rarities I speak of.
