Glorified poverty is somewhat popular among the wealthy.  They hide
their wealth to deter people from thinking too much about from where
the wealthy obtained their money.  Glorified poverty was very
fashionable during the ecological 1960's.

Here's a video on glorified poverty:

Being a victim of circumstance is not glorified poverty.  What I'm
talking about is the 1960's Beatnik of wanting to live in poverty and
avoid all the horrible problems of a conventional and modern
lifestyle.  "Tune in, turn on, drop out" was the marching chant.  At
the time, I hung out in the Venice Beach area.  I tried and failed to
learn to make noises on the bongos.  I tried and failed to write
poetry.  Existential philosophy was well over my head.  Growing a
beard wasn't an option yet.  The problem was that I was too young
(about 12 years old) to have a clue what I was doing.  A few years
later, I was changing lifestyles every few weeks.  I even convinced my
parents to buy me a Beatnik uniform (sandals, drab turtleneck, Levi's,
tattered shirt, black beret).  I think it lasted one summer. 

Grumble... back to rebuilding my wood pile in preparation a firewood
delivery.
