Poverty

Something Americans think exists in their country, yet every "poor" person has the newest IPhone, a car, internet, a TV, and enough money to pay for drugs. Poverty is more rare in America than we think. A "poor" American would be rich in Mexico. Stop complaining about how "poor" you are when you own the newest IPhone, a car, and a TV.
James: I'm so poor dude.

George: Man you don't know what real poverty is like, you own a car, an IPhone, and a TV, and you have plenty of money for drugs.

Rashid: Yes, my family came from India and when our crops failed, we sometimes had to eat only one piece of bread per day. So stop complaining about how "poor" you are just because you can't own a Lamborghini.

Perverted Poverty

Used as both a noun and a verb, A term used to describe one way the wealthy behave regarding money. They view money as a simple disposable commodity because of the amount they’ve acquired.

Despite the fact they can modestly buy a quality product that will last, they’ll simply spend on the first cheapest item they see in a lazy attempt to “save money” rather than acknowledging or appreciating the wealth they have. They’ll spend on small extravagant things all the time such as expensive scented soaps, and because the size of the product is small, they can use their flawed logic to justify the purchase. When a purchase that needs to be done is a little more expensive, such as buying a new router, they’ll find the first cheap one on Amazon with an ok rating claiming that it’ll help save money, which it won’t in the long run.

These kinds of people often claim that they don’t have much and need to spend wisely, especially to appear more modest to others. They’ll continue living a pseudo-poverty lifestyle without putting in the effort to realize their priorities are in the wrong place. People who live this lifestyle often also act confused or disappointed in those with less income who spend more for quality items since they refuse to understand the alternative perspective.

Essentially, they’re an adult flavor of spoiled rich silver-spoon brat.
Billy was ashamed to invite his friends over because his parents lived in perverted poverty; he didn’t want people to think he would gloat his money just because his parents didn’t appreciate their wealth.
