I think scarcity is a rather universal mindset. Middle class people tend to live beyond their means and thus strive earn more. Rich people tend to strive to be richer.
But the lower you go on the economic ladder the more life and death this game starts to feel.
As for existential angst... I experienced it even being poor. That's more of a matter how much you read etc than money. Most poor people are just stupid.
