Jesus was neither rich nor poor. He did not seek earthly possessions (Matthew 6: 19-21) but He did not lack the necessities of life (Matthew 6: 31-33).
This idea that Jesus lived in poverty occurred in the fourth century through misinformation and most of the incompetent monastic and ascetics who believed that poverty was a virtue and the idea persists today.

He feared that he would deny God if he prayed for riches and feared that if he lived in poverty he would steal, and take God's name in vain. Jesus was a rabbi. He should be known as a job and a livelihood. Jesus was a carpenter (Matthew 13:55; Mark 6: 3). John 4: 8 it says that the disciples went to the town to buy food. This means there is cash flow. Jesus and the twelve had money boxes to buy food and give to the poor (John 12: 13:29). They are financially supported by women who have recovered. Six to eight are mentioned in the record of the crucifixion but Luke 8: 3 says "many more" contributed. At the crucifixion, the Roman soldiers did not tear His robe, without a veil, but they cast lots for it, meaning that it was of high quality (John 19: 23-24). The Bible does not say, nor does it mean, that Jesus lived in the desert as a hermit, as was the case in those days.
