"Quiconque a déjà lutté contre la pauvreté sait à quel point il est extrêmement coûteux d'être pauvre"
— James Baldwin

Simplified Meaning:
When you are poor, everything in life becomes more difficult and expensive. For example, if you don't have money to buy healthy food in bulk, you might end up spending more on cheap, unhealthy options that harm your health in the long run. Without money for rent, you could face eviction and then have to pay high fees to move and find another place to live. If your car breaks down and you can't afford repairs, you might lose your job because you can't get there, which makes your situation even worse. The cost of not having enough money keeps adding up because each problem creates more problems, making it feel like you can never get ahead. This cycle makes it very hard for poor people to improve their lives.
