No thanks. I prefer humble poverty.
Interesting. Poverty does make one humble; but it can also humiliate if we cannot afford basics. Some wealth is needed to have a decent living as these days everything costs an arm and a leg.
Here in Singapore health costs are high eventhough the Govt. claims they are subsidised.
In some poorer rural locations there is inadequate medical facilities and hardly any doctors.
Some are located so far away that patients cannot be saved on time.
