EnglishAntonyms
- Apretentious
- Bimpecunious
- Caffluent
- Druined
Explanation
‘Indigent’ means poor or needy, lacking the necessities of life. ‘Impecunious’ is a direct synonym meaning having little or no money, and ‘ruined’ also suggests financial collapse. ‘Affluent’ means wealthy and prosperous — the opposite of indigent. ‘Pretentious’ (making excessive claims) is unrelated. So affluent is the antonym.
