%26#8220;有房的穷人%26#8221;来自英语%26#8220;House Poor%26#8220;

即%26#8220;一个人把他或她的收入的大部分用来支付住房所有权%26#8221;（House Poor：Describes a person who directs a large portion of his or her income to home ownership.）换言之，%26#8220;某人拥有住房但通常只有非常少的可支配收入，是谓有房的穷人。%26#8221;（Someone who is house poor usually has very little discretionary income.）还有人定义：%26#8220;有房的穷人即描述这样一种状态：某人在支付其住房融资和相关成本之后只有非常少的可支配收入。%26#8221;（house-poor：A description of the state of having very little disposable income after paying the financing and carrying costs of one's home.）最简洁的定义是：%26#8220;某人的净财富太紧密地与其住房联系在一起而现金却少得可怜的状况%26#8221;（The condition of having very little cash because nearly all of one's net worth is tied up in one's house.）不难看出，西方的%26#8220;有房的穷人%26#8221;就是我们所说的%26#8220;房奴%26#8221;。
