1. Poor people sleep more but the rich don't
Do you think that the rich sleep better than the poor?
According to a study published in Social Science and Medicine, the answer is no. Poor people sleep more than the rich, even though they have less money.
The study is based on data collected from the nationally representative European Panel on Diet and Health (EPH); it analyses data collected between 1982 and 2010. The researchers looked at how many hours of sleep people got each night, as well as their socioeconomic status (SES). They found that regardless of wealth or poverty:
Poor people sleep more than rich people.
The rich don’t get more sleep than anyone else because they sleep more—they just have more money to spare. People who are wealthy but unhealthy, for example, may spend their money on unhealthy foods and drink instead of getting enough rest.
2. Poor people want to save money but rich people want to invest
It is true that many wealthy individuals choose to invest their money in order to grow their wealth. Investing can provide a way for individuals to earn a return on their money and build long-term wealth.
However, it is important to note that not all wealthy individuals are solely focused on investing their money. Some may choose to use their wealth to support charitable causes, to start their own businesses, or to pursue other passions or interests.
Ultimately, the way that individuals choose to use their wealth is a personal decision that depends on their values, goals, and priorities. While investing can be an effective way to grow wealth, it is not the only option available to those who are financially secure.
