Summary

This quote highlights the negative impact that a limited income can have on one's mindset and demeanor. When someone's income is extremely limited, it restricts their opportunities and forces them to interact primarily with a small circle of people who may not be intellectually stimulating or socially rewarding. Consequently, this can lead to a narrowed perspective and a sour disposition. The quote suggests that those who struggle to make ends meet may be ungenerous and easily irritated due to the constraints placed upon them by their monetary circumstances.
