In summary when you have everything you need to survive and you don't need money, are you poor?

You are not poor if you are sufficient.  Poor means lacking.  Poor is equivalent to poverty where a person is at a disadvantage and lacking in basic needs.  Poverty does not necessarily means a person is lacking money.  Poverty in my opinion is more complex.  We can have money but we don't have access to basic needs, which makes us live in poverty.  It is more in relation to missing something basic that human needs.
