The study explores how people's attitudes towards risk and time affect their decisions about investing and saving money. The researchers found that when individuals are more willing to take risks, they tend to allocate their money differently in their investment portfolios. Additionally, if someone is more willing to wait for future rewards, they may make different choices about how much to spend now versus save for later. The study suggests that these two factors play a significant role in shaping people's financial decisions.
