There's mental poverty and ecomonical poverty.
Mental poverty comes from a person who has no aspirations in life, a person who isn't useful for his community or himself, someone who life to make everyones life miserable as his, and those people aren't necessarily poor in their finances.
And ecomonical poverty when people don't produce the minimun amount of money needed to have a confortable life, like a nice place to sleep or warm water.
well said, for one to be called poor is the inability to sustain his needs, may it be for himself of for his entire family, the inability to have a job that suits his uneducated status, sadly, one cannot find a job that can sustain his needs if he is a non degree holder or has no educational attainment, the country that does not cater this kind of problem can truly produce a poor society.
