Hey, guys. Today I'm gonna answer the question why can't some people save money. This question reminds me of a best seller called Scarcity. According to this book, there are two kinds of mindsets. Scarcity mindset and abundance mindset. People who come from poor background and grew up in a tough environment are more likely to have scarcity mindset. I mean every time they got something nice. They tend to consume it as soon as possible. Because there are much more uncertainty in their life than average people's. So it would be a rational choice for them to live in the moment instead of thinking too much about future. So I think scarcity mindset is one of the reasons why some people can't save money. But it is not a perfect explanation. Because a lot of kids who come from well-off families and are supposed to have this so called abundance mindset also have trouble saving money. In this case, they just don't have self control.
