Back to being poor being expensive (beyond insurance)...even the photos of the poorest show several old cars, lots useless junk they bought...and almost all are obese (getting plenty of food but not much exercise). All seem to have cell phones, TVs, microwaves, cable, video games, etc...all things my own family did not have until I had a solid career, a home, paid off transportation to work, and a good deal in a rainy day fund. I am not sure we really understand what "poor" means any more.
