I noticed similar when I was working in retail. They would turn up in a VERY nice vehicle, so certainly smart enough to make good money. But seemingly simply things needed explanation beyond what you would think is just common sense. Like, how to dig a hole, or how to water a plant. And OMG, tight with money!
