Poverty and being poor : are they the same thing?
There’s a common notion about poverty and being poor. So many persons believe them to be the same thing. But as a matter of fact these are two different things, they mean different things and represent different things. Pay attention and I’ll break them down for you to understand properly.

POVERTY (to live in poverty).
Poverty and being poor are actually states of mind. Each of them is depends or relies solely on how you see the world that you live in now. Poverty is defined as a mindset that showcases helplessness giving you this sense that there’s nothing you can do about your current financial situation at all.

For instance, there are people who depend on government programs to survive, now if these person’s earn enough money such that they no longer qualify to receive from any of these programs, they tend to mourn their handouts which is being taken away than the financial freedom they just gained.STRATEGIS TO DEVELOP AN ABUNDANCE MINDSET

Someone in poverty tends to make financial and work choices that will always limit their income in order to continue to just receive this free money and services from government.

People living in poverty usually feels they are owned certain money in life. They always have this believe that they should be able to do anything they want in life and still have these needs taken care of by another person. That’s poverty.
A good example is a lady who caters for her family and although she doesn’t make enough money. She somehow goes to the store every day to buy expensive food even when technically she can’t afford it.

She buys well decorated cakes for her kids birthday and eat out almost every day.
Now, She can’t afford to really do any of these things she does but when you ask her why she does them, she will simply go out of her way and tell you that she “deserves them” because of the sacrifices she makes in her life.

This is the poverty mentality.

Even though there’s not enough cash to do somethings, you still do them anyway just because you deserve them.
There is usually no way out for anybody with poverty thinking because they keep sabotaging their own possibilities for improvement and success.

POOR: Being poor.

Now we can talk about the difference between poverty and being poor. The major difference between this two is that any one who is poor acts poor. Someone living in poverty can go ahead and buy things they don’t really need, things they can’t afford and end up hurting their financial capabilities in order to feel good. That person who is poor will never buy what he cannot afford. Why you might ask? Because they simply don’t have money to buy it then!

Poor people easily recognize that they are indeed poor now, cashless and this helps them behave in a quite responsible manner.
A poor person usually appreciates their state or condition and tries their best to leave that state. Don’t mistake it, when i say “appreciate” I mean that they respect their lack of money and what it means to their life just like they would respect fire related properties and what it can do to ones life.

Let’s picture it like this; imagine telling a child not to touch a very hot stove because it can burn. Now someone in poverty will actually feel justified claiming they have the right to indeed touch the stove if they want to. Thinking like this means they get burnt a lot.
A poor person realises the power and strength of this stove and indeed stays clear.

It’s just like deciding to buy a 12 pack of coca cola from a grocery store. To a poor person, this is not a necessity, it’s just a luxury which they stay away from. They sacrifice some of their wants and stick only to their
