Poverty reduces brainpower, study

A few years ago, I went to speak at a chapter of the Full Gospel Fellowship International. The subject of my talk was on Wealth Creation and Financial Intelligence. I essentially established the fact that God wanted us to live a wealthy life here on earth and then move on to eternity to continue a life of wealth. I then shared a few opportunities and strategies to beat poverty and move on to abundant living.
Well, it was an exciting time. However, one of the members asked how I could preoccupy myself with such 'mundane' subjects instead on concentrating on my practice as a Psychiatrist. I remember I told him how what I am doing is in complete fulfillment of my calling as a Psychiatrist because a lot of people, though not having frank psychotic illnesses, are not living in good mental health because of poverty and lack. Their quality of life is compromised and they make decisions that further compromise their life and health further.
Well below is a link to a recent study that validates what I believe and why I am doing what I am doing.
