Having little money and few possessions (4)
I believe the answer is:
poor
'having little money and few possessions' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for poor that I've seen before include "Needy; meagre" , "Needy or unsatisfactory" , "In want; below par" , "deserving of pity" , "Of inferior standard" .)
