A few thoughts I have about this. 1) Correlation and causation are not the same; that's important here. How important? I'd wager not very much, but we can't say for sure. 2) Being healthy is expensive. Not knowing where your next meal is coming from, or what happens if you lose your job because you were never able to save anything, is anxiety-inducing, and that's bad for systemic health, especially neurological health. So, "not having enough money to be secure in your life and future leads to poorer mental outcomes" is kind of... duh? 3) Personally, I think what makes a job "shitty" are several important factors, only one of which is income. There are plenty of high-paying shitty jobs. And there are some low-paying jobs that, other than their crappy pay, are not nearly as shitty. I'd bet that having a high-paying job that also makes you miserable and gives you chronic burn-out and anxiety is also pretty bad for cognitive health long-term. None of this is to discredit the findings at all. We definitely need to grow the fuck up as a society and a culture, and ensure each others' ability to survive and thrive regardless of what skills they do or don't have, or how much other people want those skills. Until we do, to borrow the phrase from one of my favorite book-based miniseries, we will never reach Childhood's End.
