it seems like people who have the patience/skill to deal with numbers would be better with money is kind of logical

I'd say a lot of it is education, too, and its eventual effects on socioeconomic status. There are always exceptions but if you didn't get through algebra, you're probably not fully numerate and you're probably not going into better-paying career fields.

Well, there are exceptions, of course. :) Just saying, most medical schools require calculus, business programs require business math courses...
