cash-poor
Wealthy but broke
Cash-poor describes having wealth tied up in assets—property, investments, equipment—while lacking liquid funds for immediate expenses.
A person might own a million-dollar home but struggle to pay monthly bills: The estate left her land-rich but cash-poor.
Often paired with asset-rich.
