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?

I understand where you are coming from cause being poor has a lot on its neck. Yes well said being poor is when one can not provide a three square meal a day and can't clothe themselves, I would say I was once like you cause I ask this question "Why are poor" today??? And the teacher didn't answer my question so back to your question" if you have everything you need to survive and you don't need  money are you poor" In my understanding I would like to say that is impossible no man can have everything and don't have money all the things he had was bought by money so how is that possible
