la miseria
not having enough money to buy food or a decent pair of shoes
My cousin lives in la miseria. He eats cereal for dinner and wears the same socks for a week.
She got fired and now lives in la miseria. Her only meal is a burnt pizza from the corner store.
He says he’s rich, but he’s actually living in la miseria. His ‘luxury’ is a couch in a landfill.
