Bill Gates: There will be no poor countries by 2035

3. The definition of "poor" will have changed enough

by then

When I was a child, "poor" meant something different from what we now accept as poor.,

In Kansas, in the 60's, poor meant a crappy small rented house./apt, no tv, no phone, no car (or a very crappy car)...Just the basics.. Mom made your clothes, cut your hair,...toys were second-hand..you took your lunch to school..no vacations..

"Poor" back then could be "cured" by getting a good job or finding someone to share expenses.... No one was in debt because most "Poor" people could not get credit.

These days, poor is totally different.
