Yeah but it also lays bare all the problems with being human that you can't afford to think about when you're worrying about your next paycheck. Because, again, humans evolved to live in scarcity, and once that scarcity is gone all the flaws in the evolution of the human brain come to the fore.
I'm not saying being poor is better. I'm saying that if you stop being poor then you better come up with another alternative to living because human society has largely failed to do so.
