I do not mean to insult and I do not want to say that is an ideal situation. By all means I hope you can improve it.

I would not consider that as being poor due to how I interpret what poverty is: you still have money left after you cover for your life expenses.

You live on benefits, thus I imagine you have free time; that is quite a luxury. You have an apartment where you live alone, where I live that’s quite uncommon even for people who held a decent job for decades.

Sure: those people are not below the poverty line, yet they can afford less than you do.

But I mean, we’re not here in a competition as to who is more wrecked, luckily this is a good life.
