Hi all


What are equivalents of 'limitedly resourced'?


E.g His a limitedly resourced student who is compaigning for a noble cause.


Thank you

Success - it is not the position where you are standing, but which direction you are going.

It is a very awkward-seeming phrase which it seems to me you made up, PBF.  We cannot so often premodify so creatively, and though you can perhaps turn 'resource' into a verb without risk, I don't think that 'limitedly' will be a recognized adverb any time soon.


The expected is 'He's a student with limited resources who....'.  If you want slang, you can say that he is 'a student strapped for cash'.

Thanks for replying MM.


Yes I made up the phrase. Just wondering, 'with limited resources' doesn't necessarily mean money right?


Thank you

You're right, not necessarily, but it ultimately boils down to that.
