Man, I love White Claws, but I'm broke. We should get some poverty claws. They are cheaper and actually taste better.

This also applies to material possesions i.e. a character driving a brand new car whilst working as a bouncer at a local bar. The phrase was originally coined by TJ Kirk a.k.a. The Amazing Atheist.

Person 1: How does Patrick Swayze's character in Road House afford a Mercedes solely by working as a doorman?

A term to discribe a persons lifestyle choice or mentality which is to live like their homeless, poor, poverty stricken like but in reality has money to spare.

The person who still :
*goes to the soup kitchen

*Wears raggy attire
*Refuses to bathe or do laundry

*Eats out of trash cans
*Eats super super cheaply
*Takes food possibly spoiled off the street home.
* takes stuff like a clepto home

Even if there bank accounts over hundreds of thousands, millions, billions

Normally you find this in a person whose was homeless beforehand

My tia mary is so poverty minded she still collects anthing she finds on the street. She says every time she'll find a use for it.

Poverty Belt

Poverty Belt is a growing term being used by people who live in the northeastern US to describe Central New York. Central New York is a geographical region of upstate New York which lies between the Catskill mountains and the Adirondacks. It is comprised of the cities Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Binghamton, Buffalo and Rochester (which is often referred to as Crotch-Chester). Common characteristics of this region which account for the sobriquet include scarcity of jobs, high unemployment, a shrinking population and a crumbling infrastructure. The "belt" part of the term comes from the way the aforementioned cities are horizontally situated close to the New York state thruway which runs from East to West through the middle part of the state.

-Where do you come from?
-I grew up in the Poverty Belt?

-Central New York.

-Syracuse a tough place to make a living.
-Why's that.
-It's situated in the Poverty Belt.
