> Diet without exercise however can work just fine.

I think that's the point. Earning more is hard, you need to get a raise or find a new job. That's "exercise". It's the obvious fix, but it doesn't really work.

Instead the workout makes you hungry. The raise in pay tempts you into buying a new car. So you stay over weight, or fail to save money.

Cutting your spending or going on a diet can work on their own.

I think the math works better for people earning lots of money and spending it all. Being poor is hard and unexpectedly expensive.
