Why is poverty helpful for a devotee’s execution of devotional service? How does poverty help us renounce bad association?

One should not consider poverty a distress. The Supreme Lord has said He shows His favor to those from whom He gradually takes all their wealth. At that time, all the impoverished’s artificial friends will consider him distressed and reject him. Thus his bad association will automatically be removed.

(Sri Bhagavatarka Maricimala 15/99)
