BROKE 💰

[Different]

You're BROKE! You're absolutely BROKE LMFAO! 😂 Not a great way to start off a thread, I get it. Is it that you're living paycheck to paycheck and your bills are kicking your ass, or do you just don't give a damn and make idiotic decisions with your money? Nice cars, Rolex watches, fancy clothes, nice sneakers, tattoos, etc. So many of us are more concerned with how we appear in front of our peers rather than saving up money for our future. Yes, all of us have been broke boys before. We've all opened up our wallets (or bank accounts) and noticed that it's bone dry. BIG, FAT ASS ZEROS served on a silver platter! Yeah, I get it, that hurts like hell. But, who's fault is it? Are you going to allow those ZEROS to control your life and remind you how much of a loser you are, or are you going to get off your ass and hustle for the money?

Most people don't even think about investing or saving their money. Forget about 401k plans, retirement funds, budget plans, or even having financial goals. They're too busy drinking and living lavish lifestyles that far exceeds their means. Don't be one of those ignorant, dumbasses ok? Set financial goals, talk to a financial manager, save money, invest, and live on a budget. If it's not in your blood to be rich, then you'll probably never be rich. Eventually, you'll get tired of being broke, trust me.

When we're in incredibly, tough spots in our lives - some of us would work two or three jobs, take advantage of credit cards, take out loans from somewhere, or borrow money from friends and family that we don't even have. So unless you have experience with managing money properly, it's going to happen to you eventually. Most people would say that BROKE equals stupid. Yes, there are many tough spots that people find themselves in where they got laid off from their job, emergencies happen, they're behind on the rent, etc. But, the smart ones always have a back up plan to bounce back from failure.

Some people are used to piggybacking off someone else instead of making their own money. Then there are those who inherited millions of dollars from their parents and then blew it. Also, you've got the silver spoons who were born rich without making their own hustle. None of these people know the value of a real dollar because they've never had to work hard and hustle for the money. Finally, you have the desperate people who will do anything for money... and I mean anything. Murders, selling drugs, robbing people, joining mafias, financial fraud, and running shady businesses. Obviously these are bad people that you don't want to associate yourselves with. The economy is tough, I get it. But, being broke doesn't have to be a number 1 priority if you can help it.

Everybody on this site has been broke before, and the last thing that you want is to not be able to afford food, clothing, a roof over your head, and be behind on the bills. Also, if you have a car, it's not fun being broke when you have a major problem like a dead transmission that you can't even get fixed. Your boss isn't going to take any, sorry ass excuses that keep you from working. He or she will fire your ass and give someone else your spot.

The world is cold, heartless, and unforgiving. If you're unemployed, have over $100k in student loan debt, credit card debt, car debt, medical issues, and you're homeless... the world will continue to kick your ass aside because they don't give a damn. You could stand outside with that homeless sign all day long. 1/10 will give you $5 for McDonalds. Everyone else will tell you to get your ass out and find a damn job.

Then you have those who bust their asses off working a full-time job for little money, and they're still broke. So now the question is, how do you all deal with being broke?
