Sae,
Poverty and being poor generally means very low on money as well as no money. So I didn't assume you meant totally without money because the term "poor" is broader than that. "Poor" can be that you can't afford anything but the essentials. It isn't excluded to not being able to afford the essentials at all. One could say poor was working class, meaning not middle or above. Anywhere from that down to completely skint and with no income.
In my experience, when I was 'better off' on the outside, I was worse off on the inside - because my focus was all external and I was quite naive really. Overindulgence can be very bad, and having a hard time can make you stronger. It sure has me.
There are some bad things that have happened in my life that, looking back I realize how much stronger a person they've made me. It's certainly not all black or white on this matter.
