"The criminally poor always face a plethora of problems, but if your a wealthy elite on the other hand, then that's a whole different story"

Is it possible to use "on the other hand" in this sentence like this?

  • You can use it that way and it is idiomatic, however, using on the other hand is not needed in your sentence. Saying The criminally poor face problems but if you're a wealthy elite then that's a whole different story, means the same thing.

The use of "on the other hand" looks legit.

However, you should use "you're" instead of "your".

I am bit confused about about what "criminally poor" might mean.

  • Thank you so much! Oh yes I overlooked "you're" and when it comes to "criminally poor", it's just a casual way of saying "very poor" but maybe I should stop using it.
