<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">People
shared that due to poverty, they deal with stress on a daily basis. This can lead
to health problems and also impacts on all who are living at home. Those with
families feel that they have let their kids down and it is also evident that
people can be embarrassed by their situation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a parent - cannot afford to give them all the things they want</span></li>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Scarcity </b>is an economic term that
describes the mind-set people develop when they have many needs and not enough
resources to meet those needs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">An example of scarcity is found in people who live in poverty.
Research has found that living in poverty can greatly impair peoples’ decision-making
abilities, often resulting in making poor decisions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This is because poverty leads to a
scarcity mind-set that negatively changes the way a person thinks, plans, and
operates. Living in a state of scarcity:</span></div>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">Imposes
a cognitive load that saps attention and reduces effort – too busy worrying
about other things to concentrate on the task in hand</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">Impairs
peoples’ ability to make and carry out healthy long-term goals. People become
focused on present, short-term goals such as how to deal with immediate
expenses</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">This is
called tunneling – the brain becomes so focused on a particular short-term
problem that it can’t focus on anything else</span></li>

bad financial decisions such as playing the lottery or borrowing too much money
– in the hope that this will help them deal with the short-term problem of
paying for a bill, can lead people into worse situations than they were in
before</span></div>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">When
workers are not given enough resources to do their jobs</span></li>

aftermath of a natural disaster when there aren’t enough goods to go around</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sometimes
people even live out of a scarcity mind-set when there are plenty resources to
go around - when people make decisions from a scarcity mind-set, they hoard
resources, only think of themselves, and live with a lot of anxiety</span></li>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">People with an abundance mentality make decisions
out of a mind-set that there is enough to go around. They are more generous
with their resources, more gracious when other people succeed, and less anxious
that they will miss out. They make decisions out of a belief that there is
enough to go around.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
