It's like taking fitness advice from a personal trainer who is 100 pounds overweight—it doesn't make sense.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a strategy of carefully choosing whose advice you follow. If someone has less money than you, especially in areas you want to succeed, consider seeking advice from those who have what you aspire to achieve. Reflect on the advice you're currently taking and its source.
A good way to grow is by surrounding yourself with successful and ambitious people. Even if moving isn't an option, try to connect with these people through online communities, social media, or local meet-ups. Look for groups or forums where these individuals hang out and share experiences. This way, you naturally adopt the habits and mindsets that lead to success.
Spending time with people who possess the qualities or success you desire can be transformative. Whether it's fitness, financial growth, or relationship health, proximity to such people can positively influence your journey. Analyze your circle, and as much as possible, initiate conversations or build relationships with those you admire.
For personal growth, prioritize learning from those who have achieved what you dream of. Read books, listen to podcasts, or watch videos from individuals who have reached your goals. This approach not only provides practical insights but also inspires the belief that similar success is achievable.
Finally, treat each interaction as an opportunity to learn and grow. Stay open to adopting habits that align with a successful lifestyle. By strategically placing yourself in growth-minded environments, you'll naturally start moving toward your goals.
