The thinking of a rich person and a poor person are different from each other.
What is a poor man's mindset
The mindset of a rich person is the mindset of a “winner” who, despite obstacles and circumstances, achieves his goal.
The thinking of the poor is the thinking of a “loser”, who is always prevented from showing a good result.
An embittered attitude towards the rich and total envy of the well-being of other people are the main manifestations of the psychology of poverty.
There are other signs of “poor” thinking: The desire to appear rather than to be.
The desire to create the appearance that you are rich and successful distracts a person from important things.
How poverty affects the psyche
Poverty is a condition that can affect a person’s psyche and reduce his cognitive functions.
The poor are focused on solving current everyday problems, and they do not have the cognitive resources to solve more complex problems.
Therefore, they study worse, work worse, do tests poorly, etc.
Scarcity changes the way people allocate attention: it forces them to focus more deeply on some issues while neglecting others.
In turn, the more pressing issues the brain has to solve, the less resources it has to deal with other tasks.
