I was advised to power up but I guess not everyone can afford to do that especially those living in countries with a low cost of living and low wages.

Well as it's what I would call "found money" they should be able to just power up.

Now I get that some people need money, but they are thinking short term vs investing in their future. Short term thinking always finds something that you need today to spend every penny you make, while long term thinking realizes that you were living without that money before and could continue so investing that money will allow for an income stream later which will make a real difference.
