The basis of being a poor- how little or how big?

[Jemroe01]

A human need of survival extends to the growth of a family, of the certainty in achieving a prosperous life. Yet what's really the basis of being a poor? Talking about the significance of money comes along with how much a family earned daily, weekly, monthly or even a year. Constant with the changing society is the changes in the field of market factors such that increased in demand grows above rate.

Weighing on how little... is how little do we earned, how little we are as a whole, and how little the world could turn upside down in just a second. Economically, for someone to be called a poor isn't based upon the money itself, but the reality that a person experiences every day such that even how big you are if you're still trying to come forward just a little step is a lot difficult compared to the others is basically the poor one.

The basis of poor is simple he don't have enough savings or investment which can secure him better standard of living but the reason for being poor comes along with many factors in some countries people were working hard until now but their takes were eaten by the corrupted officials and some people being lazy and never get out of their comfort zone.If you want to be rich you need to be smart as well.

[KorakPawon]

what is needed for those who are said to be poor is the world of work that is in accordance with their resources, because their work opportunities and ability in labor result in the lack of their income even less than feasible, and it all affects various aspects that arise in the family especially towards children's education and health. this must be the government's spotlight because there are still people in this country.

[Tigorss]

the lack of employment and the capacity to support their abilities which are said to be poor causes difficulties in earning income for those who are said to be poor. and this is what the government is now thinking about tackling poverty in various ways, but there are still poor people in the country because of the difficulty of finding decent employment.

Well see a emotional basis here and well sometimes considering that is also the great the thing. A man should not be just rich on the terms of money itself because money can be earned, money can be sold and bought but what we cant have on the basis of money is family! If you want to be attached to the family then all you need to have is quality time with the family and nothing else. A person is also rich when he has got huge crowd standing besides him when he is in the real life trouble. I guess money cant help you all the time.
I am not saying money is not important, it is also important equally but the richness definitions can be truly versatile, its only us who look at it with different views.

[KocaEfe]

Poverty isn't just about the money you're talking about. Poverty is when you have no goals inside, no incentive to move on. It is the poverty of the spirit. After all, in fact, not only the joy of money, but also in the people around you. Money should be our slaves, not us worked for money. You only think over these words...

[pizzaonpineapple]

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.

Talking about the significance of money comes along with how much a family earned daily, weekly, monthly or even a year. Constant with the changing society is the changes in the field of market factors such that increased in demand grows above rate.

Weighing on how little... is how little do we earned, how little we are as a whole, and how little the world could turn upside down in just a second.

This is just my opinion in being wealthy or poor, while many of us thinks that being poor or wealthy has a lot to do with how much money you earn monthly the reality is far from what others believe in. As what Jemroe01 mentioned "to be called a poor isn't based upon the money itself, but the reality that a person experiences every day" is very much true, needless to say the same goes for a person to consider themselves wealthy. So in essence being wealthy or poor will only depend on each persons view in life and their experience. It might be true that many of us including my self strives to be financially free, but let us not forget that everyone of us have something that we can call our wealth, whether that may be love, health or respect.

You want the reality of why there are some people who are poor even if he or she studies hard or works hard? Its in their family line. There are family lines that will remain poor forever because they were borne out of poverty and it will be passed down from generation to generation. But there are some lucky people who become wealthy, but thats just a relief. They will become poor again after 3 or maybe 4 generations.

Its an interesting opinion, economically being poor means the person unable to support himself a proper basic need, and unable to life in a proper place, but psychological, poor is depend on how the people view his life, some people feel poor with 10k in his pocket some feel rich with even 1k in his pocket, and I like how you emphasise that being rich is not only about money but also the feeling being loved

[maxreish]

Actually, reality sucks. The recognition of being poor is definitely based from the state of life. Preferably, money is always involved when talking abot being poor and rich. Special mention on how big is your assets, how much is your income and how big is your business. Those are actually the things that might differentiate poor person from a rich one.

Sometimes its not about how much we earned instead in how much we spend,i came from a so poor family that we have no own house and car,we strive sometimes and i am proud of it,but my parents learn how to do proper budgeting and that#how they thought us and so after their generation ours is brighter and now building my own family i can say that we are poor no more.so what im saying here is we must learn how to keep our money

In actuality the concept of being rich or poor is just in a state of mind  that depends from person to person. Each people is always desiring something and by always longing for something that they do not have they take things that they are wealthy for granted, which will regret when they lose it. That is why for me it is alright to seek for something whether it is being financially free or having fame, but do not forget what you have now and always cherish it.

There really isn't a generalized system by which a poor person/family is determined. Though the amount earned of a certain family compared to the cost of living in a certain area can somehow be used to see whether a person/family is poor, it doesn't end there, but it's already a great determining factor. Imagine living in a city wherein $2000 is the amount needed to get by a month for a family of 5, and you guys are earning $1500. Other areas need $1000 or less but you can't just go over there and settle knowing that there aren't any opportunities available for you guys to work with, so you end up stretching your family budget as hard as you could until such time that you needed the aid of loans just to get by a month. The debt will stack up, and you have no choice but to make-do until you're free from the constraints of the said debt, and that is when you are considered as 'poor' by most books.

[NotoriousHodler]

Much of the people I consider poor by not how much they earn, but by their psychology - some people just act such way, so they don't have any savings ever, they just can't afford anything, they waste their time on useless things, therefor staying poor not only financially, but also "internally". This isn't considering 3rd world countries, where poverty is a problem on state level, rather than it is 1st or 2nd world thing.

when we try, don't forget to be accompanied by prayer. so that what we do is always a blessing, so we can achieve maximum results. and after we get desire, don't forget to manage finances well

the lack of employment and the capacity to support their abilities which are said to be poor causes difficulties in earning income for those who are said to be poor. and this is what the government is now thinking about tackling poverty in various ways, but there are still poor people in the country because of the difficulty of finding decent employment.

To get into the real insight of this issue, first we need to understand that poverty is actually the lack of any basic necessity of life and the more underlined among them is Food, Cloth, and Shelter.

The Human Development Index proposed by Dr. Mehbubulhaq is actually used to find out what are missing and what need to be done to promote this standard of living. The absence of employment opportunities is of course one reason. Inequality is another and so on. Proper distribution of rights can only resolve this issue.

The basis of being a poor- how little or how big?

Awhile ago, there was a study done on infants which were born addicted to hard drugs.

Their final conclusion was that being born into poverty is a far more debilitating and crippling condition than being born addicted to crack or assorted hard drugs.

The mentalities, attitudes, conditions and values which lead to people being in poverty could be contagious and harmful to human development. And so being born into that environment and being in constant contact with those living that life could have severe negative effects upon a person's mindset, attitude and soul.

That's the best I can come up with atm.

The basis of being a poor- how little or how big?

For me it has something to do with the environment and of course how you brought up. I have to admit that I will consider myself very lucky because my family doesn't have much money and its really hard growing up. Buy my parents didn't give up, they work really hard to put us in a good school. The environment that time was very different though, lots of crimes, drugs all around our neighborhood but it didn't deter them for raising us well educated. Just sad though that my mom died at early age of 55 years old but all her hard work pays off because we all grown to be have education that help up alleviate our lives and never remain in the poverty line.

The basis of poor is simple he don't have enough savings or investment which can secure him better standard of living...

I do not agree to this allusion because for me, I don't see being poor as not having money in cash or at all, or not having investments. I rather see poor as the lack in every spear of life, example, knowledge, political connection, health, charismatic and influential etc.

Have we not heard or seen rich people who don't know how to use their money to influence people? People would rather dance to the tune of a poor man who is an orator rather than a wealthy man more like a moron?  

Have we not heard of poor gate attendant who connects people to jobs/employments ?

Have we not heard of poor man whose phone contacts is filled with high and mighty?

In other words, being poor sometimes is not only when you don't have investments but when you can't help yourself or others.
