poverty

What happens when you lack sufficient money. Minor forms are just an annoyance but extreme forms can cause hunger or premature death (like kids in Africa). Types of poverty: Pseudo-poverty: People like this make me mad- it's when you are living in a nice area or even own a house and all of your friends are rich or spoiled. But you are only middle-class or not as spoiled, and as a result complain or post on the internet that you are "poor" when instead you live in an area like southern Orange County CA. Minor poverty: You struggle to afford casual things that all your middle-class (not rich/spoiled) friends have and usually live in an apartment that rents for less than $1500. Moderate poverty: You need gov. assistance and live on food banks/food stamps. You likely are in a crime-ridden cheap area. Severe poverty: You struggle to even eat or find a home. I don't think you would be able to access the internet and read this. Absolute poverty: The stereotypical "kid in Africa". You're dead if you are at this level. Either major disease or starvation strikes you.

My family lives in minor poverty, but is at risk of being in "moderate". At least I'm not in severe or absolute poverty...

poverty

The situation someone gets in when they have no idea how to collect welfare. People in rural Africa dont have a choice. Those long distance runners from Kenya look like they could use a good feed.
