(A) The Rich man who has tasted the good things of life and enjoying the best, now he has to face the fear of the possibility of suddenly loosing all he possesses and becoming poor? Or
(B) The poor man who has not enjoyed anything in life yet, just surviving and facing the fear of an unknown future, thinking if he is ever going to be in a better position or the suffering is going to continue?
The rich fear the future enough to build elaborate bunkers in case of emergency.
While other income brackets refuse to believe their way of life can change, and take zero steps to prepare for crisis.
The rich are the first to know when a recession or economic crisis is coming. While other income brackets are uninformed and caught unaware by every recession or crisis that hits.
The rich recognize and respect the dangers of shifting markets and conditions. They channel their fear into following the news and being informed.
While other income brackets remain thoroughly convinced they should never read the news, as it only contains depressing stories. They believe politicians and governments exist to take care of all their problems, so that they can live their lives without ever paying attention to anything.
These are all generalizations but I think the wealthy demographic is the one that respects and fears negative trends of finance and economy the most.
