Poverty (Personal Definition and Legal Definition)

What poverty means to me- Poverty is lack of resources, lack of opportunities, likely to be incarcerated, financially unstable, disadvantage, disenfranchise, underclass, underprivileged, under serve, public-housing, socially isolated, limited access to education and health care, hopelessness.

The legal definition of poverty should be- economic segregation; subjected to stereotyping, segregation, discrimination and racism; hopelessness; none or limited options available.
