Functional Poor

This word defines a certain catergory of people*, who can afford to go to school abroad and go on vacation every year, but are poor.

*Not to be mistaken for rich or working-class.

“Oh Yusuf? Yea, he goes to school abroad and has a vacation every year, but don’t worry, he’s functional poor.”
