Well, I may be closer to some of my family than you.
Seriously, though, I don't have great insight into how the poors make their decisions on an individual level because they are a more diverse group than us richies are - after all, there are more of them.
But I do interact near daily with several people whose annual income would be a really bad month for me. As an example, was dealing yesterday with some issues arising from my half-brother, who does near minimum wage landscaping three seasons a year for a living, having mold in his apartment.
But you should call your cousins more often, it would make nana (may her memory be blessed) happy.
