There's only one thing money won't buy, and that is poverty.

Summary

This quote highlights the irony that money can buy almost everything except poverty. It suggests that poverty is not a commodity that can be purchased or escaped from through wealth. While money can provide material possessions, comfort, and opportunities, it cannot eliminate the state of poverty itself. This quote emphasizes the stark divide between those who have financial means and those who struggle with poverty, emphasizing the inherent inequality in society.
