It means a person lives in a poor area and doesn't have the financial means to move to a nicer area. You can't move in a better circle until you have the education and/or the good job to give you financial and social security to move into a higher status area.

This term has nothing to do with the level of a person's education, but has to do with their living conditions/income level. The term means living at or below the poverty level.

Poor and slumming it.
But that VW van w/million dollar thing above has a term too. It's called house rich and cash poor.

Politically semi-correct term for "poor and uneducated". Sort of like "visually challenged", for "blind", or (even worse) "handi-able" for "handicapped".
Another way to ignore a problem, by calling it something else that doesn't sound as bad.
