Dino's definition of poverty

I view poverty as circumstantial. $18,000 a year to an individual versus a family of four is an entirely different standard. I think that the term poverty is thrown around too loosely nowadays and when i hear of soccer moms getting coffee in the morning and their nails done on weekends crying about living in poverty the argument does not work for me.

DINO's DEFINITION
If you are without a home or on the brink of losing your home you are living in poverty.
If you are malnourished and lack proper food and water you are living in poverty.
When you go to the ER for a simple cold or fever you are probably living in poverty.
All of the undocumented workers making less than minimum wage are living in poverty.

The college student making 10 bucks an hour in a $500 a month studio is not what i would consider poverty, i call that life.
