Well, Jesus was poor. He decided to be poor so He could show love to the poor in ways no one else was willing to. BUT this does not mean He only loves the poor. God loves everyone. Yes, He loves you too. He loves everyone no matter what they have done or how many times they have done it. His love and grace is unconditional.
Anyway, the poor loved Jesus as He loved them. They wanted His healing, and He gave it to them. He can heal anyone of anything, even today. Isn't He amazing?

Is Jesus teaching 'blessed are the poor in spirit' means financially poor?
No Jesus was talking of poor in spirit, and nothing to do with finance. As those who are "Poor in Spirit" have the most to gain.
Are the poor rich?
Yes. In the way that when Jesus returns those who are last are first and vice versa. I also think this is true because the poor can be a lot nicer and less into themselves.
How were the poor treated during the time of Jesus?
When the disciples complained that money could be better spent on the poor than on expensive perfumes and oil, Jesus told his disciples to help the poor when they could but remember that the poor will always be with them. From this, he did not think that helping the poor should take first priority.
What do you think Jesus meant by his reply the poor you will always have with you?
the oil poured on Jesus was very, very expensive. It was Judas who said it (correct me if I'm wrong) because he was the treasurer (remember that he betrayed Jesus for money) and he probably didn't actually have much concern for the poor, because in the gospels it states multiple times very clearly that Judas had the devil in Him. But seeing the oil wasted, he was worshipping money and not elevating Jesus to His proper place. Jesus was reminding him (and them) that He would die soon - the woman pouring oil on him was doing good- Jesus is worthy of our sacrifice - and takes pleasure in it. Jesus is, however, in no way opposed to helping the poor. On the contrary, in proverbs it is written that he who ignores the cries of the poor will be ignored himself. worshipping Jesus has to be our first priority. and he is worthy of our sacrifice.
