If you can afford internet (even slow) access, you may be poor, but not extremely poor.

The World Bank defines "extremely poor" as people living on an income of less than $2 per day.

The world attained the first Millennium Development Goal target—to cut the 1990 poverty rate in half by 2015—five years ahead of schedule, in 2010. Despite the progress made in reducing poverty, the number of people living in extreme poverty globally remains unacceptably high.
According to the most recent estimates, in 2013, 10.7 percent of the world’s population lived on less than US$1.90 a day. That’s down from 35 percent in 1990.

You can use an idiom.
Jeremy is a poor as a church mouse; he gets around on a scooter.
