I'm only one data point but I disagree. I think their premise makes a lot of sense. You can be patient and still be very poor. I've seen a lot of people be that way. But growing up those people are very likely not to stay that way.
Wealthy parent, I would guess know that patience is a valuable skill and can be taught. Poor parents don't know this. But the poor kids that just so happen to be patient for whatever reason from my experience excelled at socio-economic mobility the way I didn't see less patient people. Every person I know including myself who made it out are very very long term thinkers.
