Michael, I guess this is too obvious to be the correct answer, but I'll give it a shot - they survive on minimum wage because they have minimum expenses?

Default How about....

...they become successful wherever they are - because they can't afford a plane ticket to Australia to beat-up the guy who's causing them frustration and anger??

(only kidding)

Darn it, anon...

Keep going with that line of reasoning... they dream of buying the ticket one day and ambushing him with a sock full of pennies.

Very funny, and I'm scraping together my change right now.

Hey, don't discount the obvious. I said the answer was simple...

> have minimum expenses?

This is true. Why do they have minimum expenses? What is it about their expenses that differs from other people's? Why is that an advantage?

Default Delayed gratification vs Instant gratification

Good answer...

WHY would having delayed gratification be an advantage?

They probably don't have grandiose expectations ...and don't take anything for granted....even tomorrow.

So, they practice frugality and save part of their earnings... and can then, much easier, take advantage of an opportunity than if they are encumbered with debt.

They live in the present and are content to have their basic needs met -- and are not as materialistic.

They find joy in simple pleasures and are more easily satisfied.

Carpe Diem! They seize the day, and make each one count... and live it with purpose.

They aren't lazy! :-)
