I see poverty as the inability to provide what you need. So when people assume that poverty is when you don't have money I don't agree. Now what if you have all you need and you don't require money to buy anything, are you poor? Some people live in communities where everyone lives agrarian life. They have all they need because everything they need to survive is available. Food is on the farm, water available and everybody is happy. Although it was hard during the Covid-19 lockdown many people lived without money. I have also seen many people leaving cities and moving to rural areas to live a natural life.

In summary when you have everything you need to survive and you don't need money, are you poor?
Well we have different sights about this matter for me living without money is the discription of poor,if you don't have money you also didn't have anything because everything has a price, rice,water,gas,electricity etc.,you need money to buy or pay this important thing to survive, also the important thing is the health many of us didnt know that heath is wealth if you have a lot of money and you also have many chronic sickness you are considered as poor.because even if you have money you cannot enjoy life and you will always go to hospital for the treatment and you money will maybe gone too soon.
