- In Greece, many families are particularly affected by the consequences of the financial crisis.
Greece has a found a way to pay ist debts. However, many Greek families don’t know where the money for their rents is to come from. The economy is in ruins. Often only welfare organisations save Greek citizens from a life in poverty.
I am German and have lived in Greece for almost 2 years, I love this country and his people and that's why it hurts in my heart when I see how people live there.I was in many countries but nowhere I meet people who were more hospitable than the Greeks.I have never felt strange in this country and I hope that everything will get better for these people.If I look at this family then I look into the past, that's how I got to know and love these people- family, lovable with a big heart.
Hi
.
There are many more ''powerful'' countries that sadly find our situation very convenient. I'm saddened to say that Germany is also one of those countries...of course that is not meant as a grudge against German people, I wouldn't want anyone to take it that way either. People do not always represent the actions of their governments (Greeks can especially relate to that lol). Governments can also misrepresent some actions to their people, dilute the truth, make them believe that what they do is right. That way they can be sure that things like sympathy will not get in their way..
Our own government is also unshamefully corrupt and near sighted.
My belief is that we're nearing the tipping point though, things are bound to change.
Let's hope that this change will come before our culture's destruction...
As a greek I am very lucky because my family can afford vacation at the beautiful islands of Greece...
We too have economic stability and we have foodandclothes...these people seem to bethe GOOD SPENDERS....loans and credit cards....I live well and I have a family ..BUT I always was economically minded and when the crisis hit....Ijust moved on with a bit less...HOW COME certainpeopledidnt makeit?????YHEY THOUGHT THAT THEY HAD MONEY AND PROSPERITY until reality hit ontheir door....and boy did it HIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi I love greece your name is arabic
Yh in Greece is not that common, but congras
This is called middle class in third world country, these europe people don't know what is poverty, if you have a house, a car, can eat 2 times a day, you are not poor
Poor people in third world country means you may stay in the street, only eat 1 times a day, dont have access to clean water and sanitary, dont go to school, dont have health benefit, dont have an unemployment benefit, if you are unemployed you will die from hunger and disease, these people are spoiled
Lim William well, its not even "middle class" in most "third world" countries... but more like, upper middle class.
Lim William but yeah, poverty is more than just food, cloths etc... but also other things like social exclusion, depression, etc
Lim William they are not greeks, they are not poor.
yeah. .... i see poverty everyday. if u r poor in my country, u cannot afford to eat meat anyday. U cannot afford to see a cake if u r poor. Here if u have a car, u r not even middle class, u are rich. It may be hard to believe but I see such poverty everyday.
That's poverty in a once a good country. In my country, the Philippines, poverty means no house, no cars, no branded clothes, no celebration of birthdays, and just salt, oil, dried fish, sardines or instant noodles to eat.
JV TV everybody in greece used to be rich,now we are middle class people and this family is bellow the middle class actually they are poor....btw
The Duterte regime make it worse, due to Train Law.
Thats poverty everywhere. Theres people dying in the usa because they are sleeping rough in Alaska. You don't want to be sleeping on the streets when its minus 20°c.....Thats Poverty.
This is just one of the many stories of families that used to be middle class but are now struggling just to house themselves and families.
Do you seriously think that if the ''middle class'' barely holds itself together like that there wouldn't be any homeless people that struggle just to find food?
That's common logic my man.
@@ΜαρινοςΝτασης-χ3σ I bet a lot of people in Grece can not afford as much food. There were and are people who are even poorest. And not everyone in Greece was rich, maybe in your family.
Wrong family to feature. I'm sure there are others worse off in Greece. I couldn't believe the amount of food on each plate at the start of the video.
No. Im greek and my family are poor there, but they are still poor
@@thepreppywardrobe3935 I'm sorry for your family :(
They may not have a lot of money currently but they have four kids and God in their lives. They are rich indeed.
lorimav yes, I agree. They are richer than most people with banks full of cash
like that is going to put food on the table c'mon nows People need to get their heads out of their butts and realize only kind people who donate and having enough money feeds your family well...
@@Russenka are you joking?
@@IonPumpkin2002 do you see me smile brother?
@@Russenka wow you really have no idea What is like to live in Greece(excuse me but still)we are not rich, you are too far
i wish my best our greek brothers.GOD will help you soon ..do not give up brothers.. respect from turkey❤❤❤❤
Love from Greece... I hear the fires were horrible
great People, i really hope that Things get much better for this Family.
GOD Bless u both...here is a perfect example of a faithful wife who has not left her husband's side even though they have nothing left...here is a perfect example of a faithful husband who does not regret paying all his savings for his wife...In today's world I am surprised to even hear about people like him...May The LORD bring back their good times to them
They are quite okay... food house a car... kids have toys clothes... what they need they have... what else they want? ....can't we teach people to have patience and be grateful for what they are blessed... this is okay sometimes we don't have everything.....
Benazir Akbar: I agree. I noticed that they have a car, and I thought to myself that it could certainly be worse for them.
this is poor for what greeks used to have. things are a little better now though :)
@@sunflower3823 yes greece (only recently from 2018) started to not decline and has inclined since and is projected to incline further, south africa as well is projected to incline in 2022
@@sunflower3823 nope
@@elainakosmidis8657 you are right. I think a car in Athens is luxury, because there are so many mesa mazikis metaforas as you greeks say. Unless the car is needed in your job during all time.
lovely family
Why are people here not understanding that there is a huge difference between extreme poverty and poverty...clearly, this family is poor
Exatcly, greece is poor even if they have a car
come to india you will realise what real poverty looks like....this is not poverty.
Maharshi Banerjee lol I know. looks like it's not to bad.The poverty in the US is worse than this.
USA contains 3rd world within it's border, it's unfair comparison.
Maharshi Banerjee Not their fault your poverty more extreme. Plus India has many jobs from America causing Americans to be poor and also many India people are wealthy.
true - only hard work pays - may be Americans should start working hard
Hari Praveen hard work doesn't pay of if there is no work to do to begin with
Beautiful family, where there is love there is everything.. Happiness doesnt lay in money but every thing will work out just smile and be all happy
The Greeks might be experiencing poverty temporarily but they will always be rich in tradition and culture. Their infulence in art, architecture, mathematics, science, philosophy is what made the rest of the world rich and that's what really counts. Don't forget about the Olympics too. As they say in Ancient Greece "veritas vos liberabit", the truth will set you free.
That's icing at best.
Those dont feed them, or satisfy their needs.
Ethnically they may not be Greeks, but if you were born or has lived in a country for a certain period of time, why would you not consider as a Greek? As long as they adopt Greek sense of lifestyle, respect Greek values, i don't see why not. Coming from a Greek born foreign national parents.
Eleni Gos wow they are still in good condition. If u search other countries they are more in bad condition. Very bad
what's their roots?
We toured greece as part of a mediterranean cruise. Athens was the cleanest city we were in. There are many many citrus and pistaschio trees lining the public streets loaded with fruit. Good luck Greece.
They are in a very insecure situation. The benefits they are on are only temporary and they cant afford the mortgatge, so are likely to lose their home. What will happen when their benefits run out and they lose their home? Is it possible to have an update?
Feeling sorry, as I do about greek crisis, I also have to say that´s nothing compared to what we go through in Venezuela nowadays. There´s no food in supermarkets, at all, scarcity percentages go over 80 per cent. There are no medicines for patients and people fight each other in long lines for some food
Go to river or coast , try fishing bro
You only have your selves to blame. You voted into power the Socialists. You got what you voted for. Enjoy Socialism.
Situtation in Greece is not so bad, for goodness sake!
rolbiecki Dude...I'm NOT voted for my president. You know nothing.
***** if I had money I would not be living in this country. I'm not a public servant( Be a public servant in venezuela is not something to feel proud.Even in this situation) If you know a half of what is happening in Venezuela you don't say that.Dictatorship,hunger,violence, and more. You should investigate before speak,you know...not to stay like a stupid
Look at these comments, how standards have dropped. Living slightly above survival is now good enough?
Survival? The kids have lots of things they DO NOT need.. Stupid of consumerists to think that living well is living with tons of useless gadgets, cars, expensive houses and pricey clothes they use only once before throwing them aside..
Yes it is, you don't have to fend for your life and you aren't exposed to the elements.
@@wallacesousuke1433 where did you find the Word, expensive houses?
That's a good woman right there.
Humanity is a tragic and losing game. We just spread it over the maximum number of individuals because we love to see each other cry so much.
The world is suffering...!
Very sad & scary because it could happen to any of us! From Canada 🇨🇦
I am wishing the best for my Greek sisters and brothers and Yeasoo Elada Me as an Armenian from Los Angeles Love Greece
Someone I know, who has lived in Greece at various times, told me that part of the reason Greece is in so much trouble now is because the country has a big problem with non-payment of taxes and very poor enforcement, so people can get away with not paying. Ive not heard anyone else say this so wonder if anyone knows anymore?
I live in Montreal for the past 17 years but I have lived half of my adult life in Greece to it's exactly like your friend says and that they consider it that if they indeed pay there taxes,they find it insulting and that they are taking advantage of them like a pimp does a prostitute( literally) I'm not joking... That's the mentality
"One day it will get better" NO Wrong it will get much worse before it gets better. People ignore reality. Economies collapse and many of the worlds economies are on the verge of collapse. Greece is just one country that is going to pay the price for all that borrowing.
It's hardly the Greek people's fault though. How were they to know? The people just want a good life, they don't expect their government to screw them over - at least they didn't before anyway.
Rosalina 90 The Greeks invented democracy. The responsibility and power in a democracy sits with the people. The Greeks ELECTED the Governments who offered 'something for nothing' and permitted and participated in the corruption and tax avoidance that lead them into this position.
That's not to say I don't feel a huge amount of sympathy for the Greek people who are suffering now - but what happens if the rest of the EU says "OK Greece, we will foot even more of the bill for the cultural failings of your country"? The answer is, it won't change - and it has to change. I just wish the EU would do more to encourage companies to invest in bringing jobs so that the Greek people can work their way out of this.
I want to be poor in greece, just recently our government said that if you earn 10k pesos /around $190 a month your are well off with 4-5member family. This coming from people who have never experience poverty in their whole life. God save the philippines.
All I can say is God bless everyone..but not the bad people and who cares if they are Greek or not!!!
- don't have so many kids
- education
You re so right !
Beautiful family, praying for their financial security.
It seems like this family is doing pretty good to me. What do they want? A mansion and ten luxury cars and maids, etc...? I live in one of the richest states in the U.S, but even here we have so many low income families. I have seen many low income families that are much worse that this Greece family.
Joseph Smith you don’t know they could be one bad check away from being homeless
How much of that food was donated
What bills they are behind on. Etc
true
Would love an update on this family 🧡
They aren't Greeks. According their accent they are immigrants from the ex-Soviet Union countries.
I am "Norwegian" married to a greek girl! Based on the looks of that kitchen, I can tell for 100 % sure, they are Ελληνες ;) I myself have parents from two different countries, but I am brought up in one of them, but still I feel 98% Norwegian and 2% Croatian. But you are probably a better expert on ethnicities and nationality than I am. What would my kids be? Greeks? Croatian? Norwegian? Or would it depend on the language they speak and were they are brought up?
that's right!!! and i am greek....
Like greeks from Crimea? Pontic greeks?
They look Greek to me.
greeks are not white, they look like jewish + turkish mix
This is happening all over
Lovely family!
kids are so beautifull
The people in Venezuela would be happy to switch with them....
Unfortunately Venezuela doesn't have a nation like Germany pouring billions of euros into their banks.
I wonder how they are doing now?
they r doing way better than my family and I here in the US
What a really lovely family...I wish them well
You Greeks take pride in your logic. I suggest you employ it.
Roy Mustang 😂😂😂
Tragic..May God Help you people of Greece😭
I hope people remain that civil when the REAL crisis starts...
I watched a special on poverty in the Philippines and poverty looks different there. Detroit looks different as well.
Poverty is all man made, the earth has enough for everyone's needs but not enough for everyone's greed
Many Greeks are huge land and home owners, with little or no credit card debt. They are able to take vacations to their own home on the countryside or an island. This is what has saved them.
Greek or not let’s face it ... the entire world is too worried about going on lavish vacation building nuclear weapons but reality is we can help one another I’m sure the rich people from Greece can aid their own 😭 I’m from 3rd world country and I saw struggle around me, never forget to help others and don’t feel ashamed where you come from or ask for help. I have kids and I will do whatever it takes to feed my kids first
God bless all ❤️ love each other!!!! No MATTER THE LANGUAGE THAT COMES OUT, any facial expression can be understood no need for a translation you can seee the pain but yet happy with each other❤️❤️❤️❤️
They are living like most Americans have lived for decades.
jaelynn zee I
It's scary to think America may eventually end up like Greece
Stephen .Shuman its 20 TRILLION in debt yes usa is very very rich
ComradeRetro even Greece was rich in 2007 , now look at it ....
I have watched these type of documentaries about america. Lots of homeless and from middle class to jobless
Stephen Shuman : There are many in the US & Canada that are living like that...and even worse.
what does it matter where they from. Grow up
They don’t look like poor people to me
Just like middle class: they have car, house, food and others stuffs, in África people doesn’t have food to eat or clothes , that’s poverty to me
0:45 ... is that poverty ??
They arent even greek..
ivan date lol Im Greek and I have never saw a poverty like that!
They are not even Greeks
"really" ?? Who cares if this family is Greek or not, poverty is shown around every corner of this globe, the point is .. what will be done about it..it seems to be getting worse and worse. Middle class people who once had health insurance and worked a good job, able to feed their family.. are now poor and the poor are now destitute, homeless. I dont see it getting better at all in any country, state or city. I have a friend that just bought a home, I was excited for her. I have the same opportunity to buy a home but at this time I wouldn't buy a home at all,with the economy in California ? People are losing their jobs and home's left and right.
Poor people usually don't have a car or food to eat.
Why so many kids? Of course they can not afford!
Nice Try er
The were well off when they had the kids. The guy had a business and the were in the middle income family.
They had them before you absolute tool. Why do people always want to blame the victim, even if someone did make a poor choice it doesn't fucking mean they deserve to suffer for the rest of their life.
In order to take a family loan. I know many couples , deliberately having many children , that do so.
well atleast they have a better life than somalis or afghans. So feel thankful for what you have.
After a GDP decline of 40% no one should be thankful
Compare to poverty of sudan, somolia this is nothing.
So don't worry about this.
Cheaper Credit will not alleviate poverty, it will increase indebtedness. Many people r unable to prioritise their expenditure and as a result, no room is left for unprecedented situations like these.
Very sad he even saved for a rainy day did alot right but still in a bad situation
What a misleading title!
I wish that the documentary makers had chosen a better example of poverty.
0:46 Pigeons make the best friends
or good dinner
Chi-
It is Greece: the beaches are gorgeous! Just go to the beach, swim, surf, have fun! Healthier than any gym membership or movie theater...oh, Netflix! For a few bucks a month, the entire family can watch movies every night.
However, emotionally, it is extremely hard to adjust from high income to such a low income...it is tough. God willing they can make it.
What was once a huge figure in mythology, now has fallen hard. It’s depressing.
Sell the car, dad get a second job. Mom get a job.
So you don't understand that the unemployment back then was almost 1/3?
That video came out last year, that's really hard.
Pains my heart to see that this is called 'poor' and my countries poor dont even have a roof over their head...
The privileged "poor" people of European
@vidhya pillai
Poverty is always relative. In India and others developing countries poverty is determined by different parameters than in Europe.
But the suffering of human is same everywhere .
I Know the situation in India, many people lives in slum with bare minimum resources to keep them alive.
You think they're privileged? Maybe watch the documentary again.
they seem ok to me....i mean they have a car and his son has a pair of nike boots :/
τhe car is the material of the past in which probably they have had a job and income for their family. the boots might have been from a philanthropy, poverty in Europe is not like a third world... if you loose everything then it does not mean if you have a car or a laptop that you live descent..
The fact that this has 29 likes is repulsive. So fucking what if they have a car? And those boots could bought from a second hand shop or donated for all you know. Quality of life is not only defined by a few material goods. It's defined by the overall sense of well being, a secure future
Kalpaj Patil So, this is a proof that they are ok?
Cili Padi compared to Swedish,Norwegians, French, Canadians,Germans,Finnish,etc.,are they ok????
Cili Padi The whole western civilization,philosophy,science etc. is based on Greece's achievements,you know!at least,respect this!!!!
Poverty??? When you have no place to stay ,no food,no job then you are in poverty
I pray God helps the people of Greece
RIP Europe
You call this is poverty?? :/
Then what you call people living in India??
It's true that didn't show a really poor family even thought they could
Do you compare a country of 1.4 billion people in one of the poorest regions of this world to a eu countries of 10 million people are u serious
@@giannispol3502 yh, he cant compare India with Greece,India has over 1 billion people
Germany prevented them from bankcupcy and starting from begining in order to buy thier assets ....
Because of Germany Greece bankrupted
leave the EU
And arrest and dump the bankers like Iceland, see where they stand today, prosperity
Why do i see this types of video always
My heart aches so hard
😞
poverty? this is not poverty....
Once a great country. I don't understand why it happened in Europe. There's no war there....
At least they do not have to pay for heating.
@8:11 THE ELDER SON ANSWERED ALL THOSE WHO COMMENTED NGATIVELY HERE & THE POLITICIANS IN ONLY 3 #WORDS :SHOW SOME LOVE!!! #KKF
They ARE Greeks. Different Places have different accents. Just like in England or Ireland etc.
Is this poverty ? come to Africa or Bangladesh and Laos to see how poverty is
For an european country this is not normal
They are not living in poverty -- not even close. They would be considered middle-class here in the Philippines. If you want to know what poverty is really like, you should come here.
Maybe in their country they are. In the US they would be considered low income.
They should be thankful they are not that poor. I mean go to asia. People go to trash bin to find food. Some eat insects to survive. Living on the streets cause they dont have a house. That is poverty
Asia is very wealthy actually . Almost all people in Asia afford good education luxury cars and big houses . And if there is 2-3% living in poverty it's because of overpopulation
'''People go to trash bin to find food. '' Who says we don't have such people too?? Come to the center of Athens once and see for yourself.
thats how euros define poverty.
They sound like lower class modest citizens and they aren't 'struggling' at all..
Growed up in Sweden..14 kids and many times we had only potatoes and onions for daily food and did never own cars. When We move from our parents we have to live on 200 euro per months for food and other devices. Creece people had 10 times better lives than We had
Look at her, look at her branded glasses, look at her purse. They are able to afford meat and cakes. Perfect hairs, nice cloths. Ohh the kids are poor so give them remote controlled cars. I never received any fancy toys and it's always been luxury.
What a strange way to define poverty.
At least they exited from recession... Hope it will be much better after a couple of years...
kos mos why?
Who exited from recession? You sure about that?
We are temporary "exiting" recession because we are selling public sectors, the country itself.
+SwordSkill2 Yep you do. That means the greece earns more money every year.But recesion existed for really long so one precent growth, wouldn't be very noticible for like a couple of years.
Szawel Saulencijus What more money?
They sell public sectors, I tell you, this is equivalent of considering ending recession if you sell your organs to the black market!
Do you have a clue what is gdp or gdp growth? If like other people buy public sectors and growing economy it is a good thing,like giving jobs,expanding the business...Gdp messures value added not sales.
This looks like poor royal family
Their so poor they have a car,a roof over their heads ,and full belly’s wow yet their is people who are actually on the streets and are lucky if they get one hot meal a week 🤦♀️
Dolly Girl : Amen. However, they are relying on a food bank for essentials. I do believe that there are people in the world that are worse off, but they may barely be holding on to that apartment & car.
Do we not realize why the economic crisis hit? It is beacsue we have tried to bend the rules of fundamental economics with Financial Gimics.
Resources cannot be replaced with papers and digits. We must help each other...the world will be a much better place without a greedy few
Now they have even more immigrants.
I know it is radical.But how about moving to village. start growing plants and animals. You cannot eat city walls.
This documentary scrapes the bare surface of what is happening in Greece
When ur Greek and you understand mostly everything they say
@@chachicore and then u realize that Im a dumb troll
They need to clean their house. Very messy.
If this is what's called poverty, then I am not a normal human being,sometimes we don't have to own everything to be human,we are naturally Human being.
It's the Walton's and 1932 again.
there will be no recovery,,,
LOOOL... "History homework" - Greek history no doubt.
the reasons for greeces predicament include harsh terms fro Germany and non-solidarity from many eu nations in not sharing the refugees burden. as to whether they are greek- I leave that to the law of the land and not prejudice.
