On the Experience of Being Poor-Ish, for People Who Aren't

I think this is backwards and the opening lines of Anna Karenina get it right. It's "bad luck" that you should look out for, but every (moderate [0]) success story sounds more or less the same. (Said yet another way, success isn't the result of good luck, but it does require the avoidance of bad luck.)

[0] We're talking about routine success here, not Elon Musk. We're talking about avoiding poverty, not going to Mars.

I also goes the other way. I see people making bad decisions which might lead to poverty.
