e.g. middle class finances are built around building and maintaining savings
Kids are famous for coming out of poverty into professional sports and then spending their entire paycheck on luxury signaling items. Like half of NFL players are broke by 35 or something just absolutely crazy, given how much they're making. Some of that's crabs in buckets stuff but why would you build up cultural technologies for storing wealth when no one you know has wealth worth storing. Also, the lower classes are probably just more fractured culturally so they don't have as strong of transmission on these fronts.
