How to use "Poorness" in context?
It is difficult to conceive of a life without material possessions. Humans have evolved to be consumers, and the drive to accumulate objects, things, and experiences is part of what has made us successful as a species. The material world has become so ingrained in our lives that it's easy to take for granted how important it is.
But, as we have seen in recent years, there are consequences to having too much and not enough. Inflation, unemployment, and other economic problems are often caused by too much money being chasing too few goods and services, and too much debt being taken on to buy them.
