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?

Whatever you say, you need money. In this world, you cannot live without money. If you do, you need help from others, as homeless people need help. If you have a farm, you need to buy seeds or some kind of other things that are necessary for farming. You cannot make sugar, salt or oil out of nature. Let's say you can make some of them. But you won't be able to make all of them. You won't find all the resources to produce all the products you may need.

Indeed, money is not everything, but everything needs money, so it is impossible to live without money,
I think we have to be realistic and think that being without money is weird,
we live in an era where buying and selling requires money, not in ancient times which used the exchange method.

money is the fulfillment of needs for human survival even though a farmer has enough crops to eat, many other needs must use money to fulfill them. therefore many say that humans need one another, and to assess that need is manifested in the form of a sum of money. especially to live in a city where everything seems to be measured using money, so humans need to earn money to be able to maintain their lives. fortunately humans are created with different skills, so that they can complement each other, so that the wheels of the economy turn around
