Read this quote of St Basil the Great on a calendar today: The bread you store up belongs to the hungry; the cloak that lies in your chest belongs to the naked; the gold that you have hidden in the ground belongs to the poor.
Now that's something of what Saints are made of ... nothing material to be concerned of, in order to have their whole heart and mind lost in the Divine. Anyone living this sort of radical poverty today will certainly be termed mad! God alone knows!
