I know it's cliche, but I was thinking drug addiction. He meets someone with problems and they fall into that. Perhaps they also sell drugs to support the habit ("It makes me rich and it makes me poor"). "Belt is loose / Trigger is tight" is that he is easy on himself (belt), but tougher on others (gun). "Beggar in the morning / King at night" would be struggling to make ends meet, and then experiencing euphoria at night. Maybe that is too literal.
@DJgif I'm thinking that he's praying - talking to God, but that's great insight on your part- it does sound like that there is a vice involved - great song - a song that you can interpret it anyway you want - I don't even think how I stumbled across this song and it is a part of my weekly life now!
