Poverty 'consumes' your mental capacity

“Poverty saps mental capacity to deal with complex tasks” reports The Guardian, saying that the effect is “equivalent to a loss of 13 IQ points”.

The paper reports on a study into whether financial worries due to poverty had an adverse effect on cognitive functioning.

The study consisted of two series of experiments; one involving US citizens, the second involving Indian sugarcane farmers.
