think about what you saying, any person will become unsane if they have nothing to do, wealthy people are more likely to afford things such as going out, holidays etc. Whilst poorer folk are more likely to rely on internet and tv for entertainment as its cheap if used heavily.

If I had a choice between staring at 4 walls all day and having insurance or at least having more choice of what to watch I know which I would choose. I also very much doubt all the houses you looked at are unemployed either most probably are employed, if every house in a council estate was unemployed then unemployment would be about a 3rd of the population.
