Rich people are just as impulsive as poor people. They are simply insulated from consequences of that impulsiveness.

The things they do get covered up, or are behind closed doors because they can afford to close those doors.

Wealth does not buy you impulse control, at all. The exact opposite, actually, as every whim can be met.




> Rich people are just as impulsive as poor people.

Citation needed?

I'm not claiming that - I don't know either way. But, they claimed that they know that rich people are just as impulsive as poor people, so I wanted to know if they have a source for that.
