There’s this idea about poverty and cognitive control competing. It may be harder to save when you’re already poor

  You will also easier end up poor if you have bad cognitive control.

    > You will also easier end up poor if you have bad cognitive control. My personal experience is that many middle class people has little control. But, the effect on them is small. That clothes that they do not need or that extra vacations are not going to make them poor. But, I am sure that in very extreme cases like gambling addiction middle class people can become poor.

      humans are gonna be humans, we need societies that work with actual humans and their faults rather than just wishing humans were perfect.

        tsk! Don't you realize that empathy and common sense are frowned upon?
