I thought that was common sense, work harder to make rent and get food, less time to study / look for better jobs, and no safety net to re-orientate.

And stress affecting mental abilities, umm yeah, my IQ probably dropped more then 13 points dealing with difficult births and a 2 year long sick infant.

Anyway proves that the lazy stress free poor people are the smart ones!


and maybe it's my perspective, but i totally don't consider stress free people poor.

 

For example, I don't got shit for money right now, as I had to move in the middle of the financial crisis and my girlfriend is finishing up her docotorate.  Together we'd qualify for all kinds of government benefits if we applied.

 

are we poor?  No, because I know if i'm coming up short on a light bill or grocery bill or something I know i've always got an extended family to bail me out.
