00:00There was a study where they looked at kids from similar economic backgrounds, aka how much money they made growing up
00:05and then how much money they went on to earn as adults, but there was one key difference.
00:08One study group was from a town where people made more money and they interacted with more people who made more money.
00:14The other was the opposite. What was the result?
00:16The group of kids that grew up in the neighborhood with more rich people had a 33% higher income by 35.
00:22That is wild. The socio-economic status of your own family is not the number one indicator of your future income.
00:29In fact, it's actually this thing called economic connectedness, which means how many rich people and poor people live by you
00:36and thus you can become friends with. So if you want to make more money, watch who you surround yourself with, but also where you live.
