When you condition your mind that there is not enough money rather than there is more than enough, because while growing up, money was scarce, and your parents or loved ones were struggling to make ends meet—when you focus on saving money rather than making money.
Poor people tend to focus on their lack, which over time leads them to develop a compound poverty mindset; wealthy folks look for new streams of income that would yield compound interest by embracing an abundance mindset.

Poverty Spec is a term used when someone orders or purchases a car from a brand typically known for their higher end clientele (Mercedes, BMW, Range Rover, etc..) with very few options. This is done so the purchaser will seem more wealthy than they actually are.
An example of a "poverty spec" car is a Mercedes C class with just the lighting options to make the badge glow and project the emblem onto the ground under the doors. These cars typically have little to no options other than those that show off the brand.
Please note that this usually can't really apply to super high end cars like Mclarens, Lamborghinis, and Ferraris just to name a few, but it is still possible.
"Dude did you see that fancy Benz drive by?"
"Yeah, but it's a poverty spec C class, it only had the base 4 cylinder and illuminated badging."

the invisible line that separates Target from Walmart
as seen on SNL Weekend Update
"According to a new census report nearly 1 out of ever 2 Americans has fallen below the poverty line, which is the invisible line that separates Target from Walmart. That's what it is. You didn't know that, but that's what it is." - Seth Meyers
"Hey man, wanna hit up Target?"
"Nah man, I'm below the poverty line, I can't afford that shit."
"So you shop at Walmart?"
"Yep."

Poverty Pimp: A pejorative term used in the U.S. to label a person or group; typically an elected official, activist, religious leader, social services agency or faith-based organization, which has appointed itself as an intermediary for the poor and the disenfranchised, but which unethically benefits either financially or politically from their position as a representative of a "victimized group." Such a person isn't truly interested in helping the people that he/she claims to represent, but is instead more interested in their own career(s).
Examples: Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Maxine Waters, Obamacare.
Welfare agencies are often poverty pimps because if more minorities emancipated themselves from the welfare state, those who facilitate the welfare would be out of a job.
