Little-a Little

[Jesule]

Hello! How is it going?.

Take a look at this sentence:

"I´ve always had little money"

Does it mean I´ve always been almost poor, i haven´t got much money?

Sometimes, I confuse "little" and "a little".

Thanks in advance!

Jesús

[Tdol]

little money = poor
a little money = not rich, but enough to get by
