Cannot access the article, but the headline sounds like it’s a financial outcome. I find that to be a highly dubious premise. Surely there is more to life than “having more money”?

Not in capitalist society there's not; and you're smoking crack if you try to tell me there is in today's labor conditions. As it is, that old racist motherfucker still owes me about 600 bucks.

If you're barely scraping by, having less money can significantly affect quality of life, or at least percieved quality of life.

It’s like the old quote (I’ll completely fuck up I am sure) but nobody appreciates just how expensive it is to be poor.
