Summary

This quote highlights the high cost associated with being economically disadvantaged. Poverty often forces individuals to pay more for basic necessities, such as housing, food, and healthcare. Limited financial resources lead to a lack of access to affordable options and opportunities to save money. For example, living in areas with inadequate infrastructure can result in higher transportation costs. Additionally, limited access to quality education and job opportunities can perpetuate the cycle of poverty. This quote sheds light on the harsh reality that individuals facing poverty encounter a higher financial burden and struggle to break free from this challenging situation.
