Definition of poverty



Many people hear the words poverty and have many different meanings, so how do we know which definition is the correct one? To me it means poor, unable to buy the necessities to survive in today's world, lost job, a sudden illness, a death in the family or the endless cycle of being born into poverty and not being able to overcome it.


Legal definition should be : A person who does not have any money to do the things they want to do, however most people can afford to live only on the things they truly need.
