underliving

A substandard way of living in which the individual may be unaware or is fooling himself into believing that he or she is living at the highest or correct level.

Underliving is usually a consequence of factors such as ignorance, mental blocks, emotional disturbances, trauma, a lack of imagination, the habit of underliving, having grown-up in a family and/or neighborhood where most people underlived, the lack of good examples and role models, and other foolish reasons such as fear of success.

Because different people have different goals and standards, what one individual may consider to be underliving, another individual may consider to be living correctly, thus well.

Overall, compared to Americans and people in other highly (materially) highly developed nations, approximately 90% of the people who live in developing nations can be said to be underliving. Some Americans also underlive.

underlying stock

(FINANCE) a stock whose price movements determine the value of a financial derivative. For example, when a hedge fund manager writes a call option for Citigroup (NYSE:C) at 4.25/share, C is the underlying stock.

"Underlying" can be used to refer to other things besides stocks; for example, commodities, currencies, or bonds.

A put option rises when the spot price of its underlying stock declines.
