• The original is pretty good, but how about:
• Alt ... that cognitive psychologist Eldar Shafir thinks that those who believe they are being rational often are not? Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:51, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

• Alt2 ... that according to cognitive psychologist Eldar Shafir, people think they spend money rationality but often do not? MathewTownsend (talk) 11:49, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
• Alt3 ... that cognitive psychologist Eldar Shafir says the poor often focus on what they don't have, leading to bad decisions like borrowing too much? MathewTownsend (talk) 19:07, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

• New enough and long enough. Fully supported by inline citations. No QPQ required as only has two. Assuming good faith about offline sources or sources I cannot access not being plagiarised for the article and that they support article. No images so no need to check them. Article appears neutral enough to me. Hooks supported by text, with sources from what I can access appear to support the text. I like Crisco's alt best. Alt2 is more interesting in some ways. --LauraHale (talk) 07:04, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
