Many countries experience inflation because the amount of money is more or out of control while goods become scarce, as happened in a country that experienced uncontrolled inflation such as Zimbabwe where the price of basic necessities reached thousands of percent, this is because there is no supply of goods so even though we have a lot of money we cannot buy anything or the value of money is very low.
When there is no supply of a product, the demand for that product will increase drastically. In the language of economics, if the supply is less than the demand, there will naturally be a huge increase in the price of the product. Moreover, every country is under the grip of inflation as a result of Ukraine Russia war. Many countries have failed to regulate it. For the consequence of this even with more money, it has become difficult to meet the basic needs. If you think about it from that perspective,yes poverty is not only caused by lack of money.

Poverty is the inability to provide yourself money and resources that you need to sustain your life and keep you living. However, know that poverty is not a hindrance to see yourself from going up. As long as you have the life’s strategies and the right attitude that you need to conquer poverty, then you can always take advantage of every opportunity that mostly only rich people gained. But if you chose to stay poor and not taking any progress, then consider yourself living in poverty for long.
Only the desire to change something is not enough, in order to change something in life you need to do something, sometimes for this you need to make difficult decisions and work a lot. But sometimes circumstances are more powerful than a person’s will, and no matter how we discuss here that everything can be fixed, there are situations that put a person in a hopeless situation. I still believe that any situation can be corrected, but none of us knows how to behave if we get into a really difficult situation.

for me personally ? i am not seeing that not having money is what poverty means instead ?
being now friends and family is the true meaning of poverty because we can live without money as long as we can find food to eat ,
 but if you are rich but alone? or no one loves you truly then that is for me being poor.
but all in all either to have lots of money or lots of friends and family ? the most important thing is our heart because everything is
 nothing if our heart is filled with greed and negativities .
and also one of the best important thing in this matter is how we will manage to have bitcoin in our hands before it totally bloomed because
for sure you will regret not having this while it is cheap as the price like today.

You have an interesting perspective on poverty. I think poverty is not only about material needs, but also about social and emotional well-being. Some people may have all they need to survive, but they may lack opportunities, education, health care, or human rights.

Poor visually can be interpreted in all forms in living it. But what efforts do we need to raise and do so that this status does not stick in ourselves and our families. This means that it is necessary to find a way out of the problem. If only waiting for help from others with the assumption that I can't afford it. it just says we are weak.
The way out or the solution is of course not that easy because if it were easy I don't think anyone would be poor,
because basically poverty occurs because of the complexity of the problems that occur,
it needs more effort and definitely needs government support by making the right policies.

Not having money to buy what you need is call poverty, reason? Is because it feels bad when you don't have the money to buy what you neee/want people will mock at you and that makes poverty increase if you don't do anything about it, having what you need to eat all the time is called survival, why? Not having the time to buy flashing thing and designers clothes but concentrate on your belly alone.

In a city that all things have to be paid with money, of course, makes us have to have a lot of money, but in my country there are still many places of money, it feels very difficult to find, but almost all the basic needs of life can be easily obtained, for example a farmer who has a rice field and a fish pond, raising a goat Or chicken, almost all the necessities of life for the consumption of vegetables and protein can be met.
Growing rice must have seeds and fertilizer, raising fish and raising goats must also have seeds and food for them, if there is no money, how to provide them with those things? Things have become very different from many years ago. I'm also a country person, this place has all you are talking about, and in times of pandemic, we don't even spend a lot of money and still have enough to eat. But if we maintain it for a long time, we will also be exhausted because we don't have money to buy seeds, food, can't produce more food. So money is really important these days.

Rural people have one advantage - they grow what is critically important to man - food. And that means they can simply support themselves. And by selling surplus food, which always has a demand and consumers, they can provide a full cycle of cultivation\sowing\....

That's one side of it. The second side is very hard work!  VERY ! HARD! LABOUR!
I have relatives who are engaged in farming. And I personally observe it all, and I'll be honest - I probably could not work like that ! Yes they make good money, but it's still very hard money ! But at the same time I want to add - not all farmers have a good income. Some really work on the verge of profitability, and in fact only provide themselves with food and some income to cover basic needs ...

It's not always money, it's more of opportunity, when people don't even have the opportunity to make money or to put food on the table, (like it's impossible to get a job) then the people has fallen to poverty.
Thanks to those that are raising the standards for even the easiest jobs in town. But this is true that lack of opportunity makes more people poorer as there's a limited opportunity that can't be taken by those that are in need to work and that's why we see the results of it as badly and negative as it can be.

If you still have farm, then you still have opportunity to fill your needs.
Right, you can plant on your farm and have it on the right season to harvest and sell it to have money and at the same time, your needs can be planted there as well.

 I think I agree with you cause when a person have everything they need and don't require money to buy any other thing they need then they shouldn't be considered poor, cause when you look at it poverty is when you lack the necessities of life, the things you're supposed to have but cannot get them.it mustn't generally be money because back then when their was no fiat currency people trade through barter system to satisfy their needs, let's say for example I have rice but need beans and my neighbour got beans but need rice, we'll have to come to an agreement thereby exchanging the items we've got to satisfy our needs without any use of fiat.

 Poverty is the inability to provide for yourself, okay let's say someone has no  money in their bank account or assets stored in crypto currency but has landed property or other items worth lots of money should they be considered poor? The answer is no so I believe that's answered the question.so OP when one has everything they need to survive and don't need money they shouldn't be considered poor.

In summary when you have everything you need to survive and you don't need money, are you poor?

Someone with background in finances will tell you that it's a lack of money, someone with a degree in economics will say it's a lack of resources to satisfy basic needs, I say it's lack of knowledge, skill and opportunities.
You don't need money, but you either need skill, so that you can steal or persuade other people to give you what you need, or you need an opportunity.
I've earned a lot of money through an opportunity because someone told me to research bitcoin and I did, got hooked and it became the best investment of my life. I know people who are wealthy because, for instance, they married into a wealthy family - which again is skill and opportunity combined.

When you are poor, you think you are short of money, but that is only what your vision and immediate thinking tell you. In my opinion, lack of money is not what makes you poor, because even if you give some money to the poor to use, they won't know how to use this money well to make themselves rich. Look at reality: there are many people who win the lottery, but how many will have a happy ending when suddenly becoming rich overnight? In the end, the poor are still completely poor. So if you want to really become better and be a rich person, try to change yourself every day, always have a clear goal, and most importantly, have knowledge. People often say, Study, learn more, and learn forever. This is never superfluous because knowledge is limitless, and it will help a lot in changing yourself.
The problem with this is, as you said, by returning to yourself, but on the other hand, of course, we also have several other conditions where we are poor and squeezed by economic problems in it. let alone have a different mindset by wanting a better life because in this case those who are deficient only think about how to live and have food for tomorrow so they can survive in life. Even if it sounds stupid not to think about the future, the fact is that they are not unwilling but unable to do so.
And when he is given the opportunity then wrong thinking is indeed the problem because they already want a glamorous life and when they are given money, for example, as you said in the lottery, it is actually used to make their desires come true by doing some ridiculous things just to feel the glamorous life.
Yes, it is true that many people live in poverty, where the basic standard of living is their top priority. But I think they are too familiar with such a way of life and just let it be as if their life was just like that. Blaming circumstances or society is just negative. Society is inherently unfair, but there are still many people who rely on this inequality to awaken their own capacity to change their lives. In addition, do not constantly think such negative thoughts; try to stop that vicious cycle of thinking in your head. I often tell myself that I don't let things that I can't control control me.

Being poor means not being able to afford proper food every day.

In rural areas, people may have access to agricultural produce for their meals. However, it doesn't necessarily guarantee that their nutritional needs are met.

Additionally, having a decent and comfortable home is another factor in determining whether someone is poor or not.

Money exists to make food more abundant and meet basic needs. It also plays a role in ensuring basic necessities are fulfilled.

Without money, it becomes more challenging to meet daily needs. So, if you can live comfortably and contentedly without having money, you are not poor.

The function of money is solely to serve as a tool to fulfill basic needs by purchasing necessary goods when they are not yet owned.

I think the factor that makes poverty is that people cannot meet basic needs such as for consumption, life support needs such as electricity, water and so on, if we can get all these basic needs even though we don't have money, of course we are not poor.

In summary when you have everything you need to survive and you don't need money, are you poor?

You are not poor if you are sufficient.  Poor means lacking.  Poor is equivalent to poverty where a person is at a disadvantage and lacking in basic needs.  Poverty does not necessarily means a person is lacking money.  Poverty in my opinion is more complex.  We can have money but we don't have access to basic needs, which makes us live in poverty.  It is more in relation to missing something basic that human needs.

Well, poverty is certainly a lack of not just money but also those different resources that an individual needs to survive. Once you find it hard to provide these in your life, I think you are somehow experiencing poverty. But as long as you know how to use your knowledge and take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way, then you can always put poverty into its end. After all, you are the only one responsible for the outcome of your life.

If you do realize that you are poor or do still lack of money then it would really be just that sensible that you would really be finding ways for you to make your life way more better or something that

would really be progressive.It would really be just mattering on a certain individual on how he would really be handling out his/her own life because we know that not all would really be that having that kind of approach and way of thinking on how to make things more better but rather they would really be deciding on being stagnant or non progressive at all.If you are that someone
whose been aware about your financial state then really wants or likes to change up for the better then you would definitely be acting out.

Poverty is a global scale type of problem which cant really be easily be solved out. Popular does continue to grow and things turns out to be more scarce specially on jobs.
Then what would be the result?
