Commentary for Ketubot 134:11

וחכ"א יש לו ואינו רוצה להתפרנס אין נזקקין לו ואלא מה אני מקיים תעביטנו דברה תורה כלשון בני אדם

The Sages, however, said: If he has the means and does not wish to provide for himself [at his own expense] we are not concerned with him. So how then do I understand “You shall lend to him”? The Torah speaks as an ordinary person.

Rashi on Ketubot

He has [assets] and doesn't want to support himself - from his own [assets] but rather only from Tzedaka and he afflicts himself with hunger
