    I guess if you are very poor, it really does not matter because your primary concern is about how to eat the next meal. If you have a lot of discretionary income to spend on non-essential items, then you are more prone to worry about maintaining your lifestyle. So the numbers don’t surprise me for a country as poor as Dominica.

      Piper how do you measure poverty? Is it by the lack of resources or is it simply what you see on tv? Lets be real some of you overseas Dominicans are poorer than many people at home. Poor people don’t dress like dominicans . I suggest you take a good look around you. Keep an open mind
