I'd say more able to be uncomfortable, more able to make a decent wage with less and honestly, currently more able to generate disposable income to get back on their feet quicker - since I'm sure pay is not equal across all sectors in all countries.
I love the idea of that thought experiment... the world could potentially be a very different place with more equal distribution of capital... different projects funded, different problems solved. Could be extremely interesting to just tweak a couple of numbers here and there.
For sure and it all comes down to financial literacy. My daughter will have it, if she knows nothing else :)
