What is "Poor"?

Webster's Dictionary describes poverty as having a lack of money or material possessions: want. While I do agree with this broad definition, I feel like there is a more concise was of getting the real meaning of poverty across. Touching on the people and countries that are poor allows everyone to be more sensitive to the subject. My definition of poor is people who make minimum wage or less. People who are unable to meet their day to day needs financially, and countries who cannot meet the needs of it's citizens. An impoverished nation is a whole other level of poor because it applies to the majority of it's people not the minority like here in the United States.
