What if the world's poorest people are actually some of its most skilled money managers? In Bangladesh, a couple surviving on $70 monthly juggles six different financial instruments simultaneously. A South African grandmother living on a government pension saves one-third of her income through informal savings clubs. These aren't exceptions-they're the rule. A groundbreaking study tracked over 250 households across three continents for an entire year, conducting bi-weekly interviews to understand how families living on less than $2 per day actually manage their money. The findings shattered every assumption about poverty and finance. These households don't live hand-to-mouth as we imagine. Instead, they maintain remarkably complex financial portfolios-not because they're financial enthusiasts, but because survival demands it. When your income arrives unpredictably and emergencies strike without warning, sophisticated money management isn't optional. It's the difference between eating and going hungry, between sending your child to school and pulling them into labor, between weathering a crisis and falling into a debt trap that lasts for years.
