Not to mention that many of the “poor” are actually elderly living on a fixed income. My in-laws were “poor” and they lived on a farm. They just had little income because most of their money was sheltered.

There's that too. The definition of "poverty" does not take into account whether you're living in a house with a paid-up mortgage
