poor people can't afford to be blind to economic issues. Rich people have more leeway there.

Do you consider yourself blind to economic issues? Rich or poor? Straight question.

  • I am poor, and if I am blind to economic issues, I will be worse off. I need to be frugal. I need to keep track of the things I am paying. I need to ask myself before each purchase: do I really need it? And so forth... Sure, many poor people might still gamble away their money, or buy stuff they cannot afford, but humans are being humans.
