Can the environment one finds himself/herself influence their financial habits and expenses?

They say that the environment is a great influence on the habits of people. In lieu of that, can the environment of a person also determine the financial habits that one exhibits and possesses? Or the environment has no bearing on financial habits?

I think the environment you live in does have an influence on financial habits and expenses. You have to spend more living in a city. In rural areas, things are cheaper.

Very true. If one lives in a big city, even basic utilities become double the price they are in smaller cities and towns.

Yes certainly, if you're living in an environment with poor basic amenities like water and electricity, it's obvious you'll spend more money to get these things.
