Poor Relative

A poor relative is someone you try to make look like a poor person so that your other relatives can live lavish lifestyles.I..e no divorce, 3 course meals for breakfast lunch and dinner, drive luxury cares, own mansions, gamble at the casinos every month. It is actually not really acceptable. and pretty low and scummy.

Lets call someone our poor relative in hopes that we become more successful.{ I am not your poor relative}

relative poverty

U.S. poverty (in contemporary society)

Two friends that haven't seen each other in a long time. One just got back from Peace Core.
"Ya, the people in the village have it rough, being in abject poverty, but they kept such a mellow and kind attitude while I was there."

"I can definitely relate, I was in poverty growing up. Dad unemployed by 2008 recession and all."

"Man, you were no where close to a starving African child back then, with your relative poverty. Absolute poverty is not the same. What?--someone dies every ten minutes from a car crash--when 130 die--of only children (age <5) in the same time."

"Holy shit. Why didn't I think about joining?"

"Mehh, it doesn't matter now. What's done, is gone. You could do other stuff to help lessen extreme poverty though."

relative position

In social studies relative position is the position of a place or entity based on its location with respect to other locations. Relative location, unlike absolute location is not a fixed reference. Relative location will therefore change based on the secondary location.

the United States is located south of Canada that is an example of relative position
