My definition of poor depends on how my country's statistics authority survey says from a technical standpoint like wages and needs. But I learned I'm not going to be that fun at parties if I insist people stop using the word loosely if they can't tell the difference between not being able to pay for something even if they have the disposable income to do it vs not being able to pay because they got nothing on their wallet even if they really wanted to. I'd use Chinese electronic products but have the preconception that these aren't for long term use like chargers and minor gadgets.

hahaha it's probably why I don't really get invited to parties. I just think a lot of us easily label ourselves without truly understanding the said word. It has huuuge implication when we label ourselves.
These days I try to avoid cheaper/cheap chinese product as much as possible. I just realized if I buy something cheap, I wouldn't treat it well xD but if I buy something a little more expensive, I'd treat it like the most precious thing in the world. They also last longer and I won't misplace it too.
