In all fairness, this seems like one of those motivational posters where English isn't the native language. I suspect that what the person is trying to say: "if you want to stay poor, keep these habits. If you want to become rich, learn these habits." It utterly discounts the fact that, in the US, upward mobility has stagnated; the secret to becoming rich in the US is to be born rich. It's not impossible to improve your economic status, but it's hard. In some countries, it's still possible to move up a tax bracket within a decade.

I think American eyes read this differently than how the author intended.

I will call out that putting "work" in the poor row is BS, no matter what your philosophy. The only person I personally know who went from middle-middle class to lower upper has no personal life. He is his work. He's family and we often vacation together, and I've never been on a vacation with him when he didn't spend multiple hours on each of the days in meetings or on his computer. He's nearing 60 and is home about 50% of the year, and the rest of it he's traveling. We have a pool going for how long he'll stay retired before he commits himself to some board or something that demands half his time.

There's are three ways to get rich: inheritance, crime, and becoming your job.
