Reply to comment by Proud-Entertainment4 in Poverty descriptions in old books that doesn't seem poor in today's property market by p_romer

I think it's a class thing. The class difference in old books seemed to be more about background and education, and less about money. So you would have middle class people who didn't have enough money to be middle class and thought of themselves as poor.
