I would love to see that study that contrasts the effect of money attitudes.
In my personal experience, at least, there's a huge difference between people's attitudes - even at equivalent means. By most people's standards, I'm rich. I don't think I'm rich, but I'm not attached to the money I have, or afraid of losing it, because I know that I can lose everything tomorrow and work my way back to my position in a year. (Because I've done it!)
On the other hand, I have friends who have as much money as me, or more, but who agonize over every little thing.
I would love to see if there's a scientifically provable difference between us, or if it's just my perception.
That would lead to the question of, can healthier attitudes about money be taught? Which is something of personal interest.
