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.

Get the Perverted Poverty mug.The state of living in such destitution that an individual has no sense of pride, decorum or decency. Though there is not a definite correlation between poverty and morals, many such individuals never learn proper boundaries due mostly to the fact that they have been stripped of their pride by "the system" and have no sense of self-respect.
