I think one of the most interesting pieces of the study that few ppl talk about is that the kids who were able to delay gratification were ones who had reason to trust the experimenter. If kids had learned that adults don't keep their word - aka they won't get that 2nd marshmallow - then they (very logically) ate the marshmallow right away. So as adults, looking back at our money scripts to see where we are falling into learned helplessness or thinking there isn't any point in delaying gratification because of past experiences, and addressing those actively.
