>>213621933Poverty is obviously relative.
If you're a millionaire but everyone in your country is a billionaire, then you will be living in poverty and won't be able to afford the groceries, housing, bills and consumer goods that have prices inflated to be bought by billionaires (also probably those groceries are put on the shelf by a billionaire grocer, etc).
If you only earn $5 a year but the average wage in your country is also $5 then you'll be able to afford things made in your country.
