If only 40% of the people are poor in your country, then you cannot be very poor; you are only mildly poor. Over 70% of the people are poor in my country, a large chunk of whom are abjectly poor, despite our endowment with abundant human and material resources, including petroleum oil. We are, indeed, very poor, while the country is very rich. Less than 10% of the population control over 90% of the national wealth. People are so poor here that they live on less than US$1.0 per day. Aren't you luckier?

depends on what you think poor is. i live paycheck to paycheck to pay my bills, and if i cant afford food that day, then i just go without. but i still have a roof over my head, electricity, water, etc so i would say i'm far from poverty. what country are you from and what is it like there?
