How poor is poor? Like being homeless?

Fighting rats over lentils poor. Why, you wouldn't even want to spare the calories to type to complain how poor you are. Your typical bum would seem a Rockefeller compared to your destitution.

The way you put it I don't think one would manage to maintain a good health under those conditions.

Poor as in you have only the basics: shelter, clothing and food, but none of the world's riches.

Examples of worldly riches: game console, cable television, visits to amusement parks, vacations on cruise ships, mind altering drugs, prostitutes, fireworks, servants....

Would you give all that up and live a simple life, with the promise you would be fit with no health worries?

Or would you rather be like this rich man: https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/storage/image/whatsapp-image-2022-05-05-at-10.33.28-am.jpeg
