Only if you choose to be poor by providing for other people.

Just being an unemployable slob isn't virtuous.

Being poor can help in avoiding obsessive attachment to Earthly items which detracts from God. This would be virtuous.

Merely being poor does not make you virtuous as evidenced by the amount of crime that stems from poverty (in the pursuit of said material gains).
