Regardless of IQ or background, if you grow up in an environment where money is meant for spending, period, rather than saving or investing, it's tough fighting that early programming. It's why we have people with 6-figure salaries living paycheck-to-paycheck.
People are trying to debunk it now, but the
Stanford Marshmallow Experiment still seems relevant to me.
