Your points and examples are valid. However, when you say:

> I wouldn’t agree at all that wealthy people are inherently more resilient to stress

I beg to differ.

I think the OP is talking about growing up in poverty. Repeated stress with no relief, which is the condition of poor people in society, has been shown to affect their resilience. (Sorry, I don't have references handy, but these should be easy to find).

I'd say they are not more resilient but just less exposed and thus less likely to spiral out of control.

The more you are exposed to stress the more you have to actively deal with it to be successful.

Dealing with it is hard thus not many people do it correctly.
