Poverty Jet Set

"A group of people given to chronic traveling at the expense of long-term job stability or a permanent residence. Tend to have doomed and extremely expensive phone-call relationships with people named Serge or Ilyana. Tend to discuss frequent-flyer programs at parties."
--Douglas Coupland, novel Generation X, 1991

Poverty Spec

Poverty Spec is a term used when someone orders or purchases a car from a brand typically known for their higher end clientele (Mercedes, BMW, Range Rover, etc..) with very few options. This is done so the purchaser will seem more wealthy than they actually are.

An example of a "poverty spec" car is a Mercedes C class with just the lighting options to make the badge glow and project the emblem onto the ground under the doors. These cars typically have little to no options other than those that show off the brand.

Please note that this usually can't really apply to super high end cars like Mclarens, Lamborghinis, and Ferraris just to name a few, but it is still possible.
"Dude did you see that fancy Benz drive by?"

"Yeah, but it's a poverty spec C class, it only had the base 4 cylinder and illuminated badging."

Compound Poverty

When you condition your mind that there is not enough money rather than there is more than enough, because while growing up, money was scarce, and your parents or loved ones were struggling to make ends meet—when you focus on saving money rather than making money.
Poor people tend to focus on their lack, which over time leads them to develop a compound poverty mindset; wealthy folks look for new streams of income that would yield compound interest by embracing an abundance mindset.
