Answer

Hi, I agree with Peachey. In addition to a lack of money, poverty is about not being able to participate in recreational activities; not being able to send children on a day trip with their schoolmates or to a birthday party; not being able to pay for medications for an illness.  These are all costs of being poor. Those people who are barely able to pay for food and shelter simply can’t consider these other expenses.

Answer

One possibility is that your income does not cover your cost of living (and the cost of supporting your dependents, ie. family).

I think it becomes grey when you consider in a society where it's easy to gain credit (ie. loans, credit cards), many seemingly well-off people are actually in serious and impossible debt.
