Interesting video

https://youtu.be/nllZrOoxpzc

This is a video by Alux, which apparently has a website and a YouTube channel. It's a top ten list about the difference between rich and poor people.

I'll talk about some of the features:

One and two are about eating fast food and watching TV. I agree, and it's interesting that you're more likely to be fat than thin if you're poor. I think they should have said something about this during the video. It's an absurd fact, and it's only recently been true. I don't think it's ever been true at any other time in history.

Eight, nine and twelve are about spending habits, and I have to agree with them.

Three, five, thirteen and sixteen are the ones I disagree with. Three says the rich don't buy stuff that's on sale. I think the way people become rich is to shop wisely. Their kids might not, but the people that make the money have to, and that would include looking for bargains. They might also really like sports (5), even owning a sports franchise. And of course they need to surround themselves with poor people (13). Who else is going to work for them? Lastly (16), the rich people I know are from my church, so of course they are religious.
