I have realized that the lesser people earn the more they spend cos they have lots of desires.

Interesting. I would agree on many levels. Particularly on WHAT they spend on but I do not know if one socio-economic class is more prone than another. Things like education and opportunity come into play as well which skews everything. In the neighborhood I grew up in we all received government assistance. Our parents were all complete messes as well and spent money on booze and worthless stuff. Most of us (except for a few) went on to perpetuate that behavior. Most of my people never finished High School and spent many years in prisons etc. Discipline is something you will rarely see amongst the poor in America. It is a heartbreaking reality for sure but I am not sure whether it's a function of money, culture, education, or all of the above.
