I never really took it as Alma or her family as being "poor" they just aren't blue-bloods like Reed and his parents. I mean, her dad was a university prof with a whole lot of grants so I don't think they ever wanted for anything and I'm sure Alma isn't working at that school as a volunteer.

Also this series confirmed for me that Rosa Salazar is one of the most sincere actresses working right now and she is very enjoyable to watch because you can tell she cares. I think she is my new celebrity crush (as if my Alita avatar didn't give that away)
