Being indigent is not good (4)
I believe the answer is:
poor
This clue is a double definition.
'being indigent' is the first definition.
('poor' can be similar in meaning to 'indigent')
'is not good' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for poor that I've seen before include "Needy or unsatisfactory" , "Impecunious; wretched" , "(Person) with little money" , "Lacking means; paltry" , "Mere" .)
