I think what I'm talking about would be called 'Consistent Lack:'
'Consistent Lack:' Can generally afford the basic necessities of life (food, shelter, etc.) but frequently have to go without things 'comfortable' people in our society take for granted (furniture, heat and / or air conditioning, new clothes, a car); in bad times, may occaisonally become 'Desperate', in good times can afford *all* the necessities (even furniture), and possibly even a rare luxery.
hmmm... I think I need a word for things that are important, like furniture, but not necessities.
