And I especially mind paying taxes that are just handed over to the rich.

I live here and yes, yes it is. I used to work as a nurse and quit after a decade if watching sick people not get the healthcare they deserved because they couldn't afford it. F**k American healthcare

It's the money that is EVERY problem. People are forced fed a life from TV to effing 'influencers' etc. that few can actually afford. Want what you have not have what you want. And flipping save some aside will ya? 401k it if you can ya bums. Maybe pay down debt instead of new tattoo to preen and yak about on tktk. Jesus.

With THIS one, even mo broke!

I wish i were in a spaceship so i could get off this miserable dying rock hunk

You aren't paying $30,000 a year to listen to the professor. You are paying $30,000 a year so that after you pay $120,000-150,000, the university will give you a little piece of paper that says you met their requirements to earn a degree.

There's no excuse for being that bad at math. You literally have a supercomputer in your hand.

Or a bomb cyclone sweeps through and tears up your home's fence which now costs like $10,000 for some reason. ...So, some of us have fences loosely secured with bailing wire and prayers. 🤣

Every good deed..

But they're on opposite sides of the US?

Everyone talks about the little changes that COVID brought, such as more working from home. The unexpected one for me was my wife learning to cut my hair. I have always hated going to the barber, when I met her I cut my own hair and I started going for her. Now she's not getting out of cutting it for me, no matter how much she asks. It's her or me, never going to have a stranger do it again!!

Or some blood.

mine is wild horses... or letting down everyone who's ever had faith in me

Also, I feel like not being able to smell my armpits constantly is beneficial to my health. So I will continue to take my daily showers, thanks

Well, it's called 'broke' for a reason. My car is broke, my dishwasher is broke, my mind is broke, and my spirit is broke. And I can't afford to fix any of them.

Who is the woman?

Literally nobody is okay... Everyone has massive problems. I'm convinced that even the people who you think are doing great are secretly doing terribly. Donald Trump is a raving lunatic who may have power and money, but deep down spends all his time worried about whether or not he's going to go to jail soon, and doesn't actually see anything that goes on around him. Taylor Swift seems like she's doing great, but all that pressure and fame and everything else probably is crushing her. Your neighbor down the street might seem happy when you see him every morning and he waves, but he's probably very depressed. It is my belief that everybody in this world is depressed, psychotic, or some combination of the two. At least every adult, most children seem to have a great time. I could be wrong, it could just be everybody that I've ever met...

Sleeping brings nightmares.. when I was younger sleeping was the escape.

Oh, trump already promised that. Just don't hold your breath.

I suspect being broke, expecting money, but not getting it is worse.

But HOW do you overthink them? is it a little overthinking or a full blown panic attack? what is it the result of, bills? deadlines? just general anxiety?? AAAH

Yay Jozie my home town!

how tf are we censoring abbreviations now???

And more often than not lose.

They're looking for YOU!

I hated that part of my life.

Capitalism.

Oh, and if I do work I'll be, er, poor

What are small things? I have no things.

Being broke implies that you have no money, but also no doubt. If you have debt then you have gone below broke. I aspire to get to broke one day. Right now three mortgages and more credit cards than I ever should have been given prevent me from reaching the level of broke.

1 once found $10. I was 12.

Someone needs to deflate this dude

Above you'll see that we have here an excellent example of The Humble Brag. This fellow is not limited by lack of money and his 'problem' is that he now can't bring himself to buy the cheaper option because he doesn't want to 'feel' limited. He attempts to elicit sympathy for this with a statement about having grown up poor. Right. Moving on we have...

Or pre-broke.

Unemployment benefits?

I have never had anyone try to convert me, but if I did and they said something about the next life my response would be you mean there's more? Holy s**t man how do you deal with that c**p?

Welcome to life.

What the hell does this mean?

Broke boy by malia civitz. Good song

We're supposed to be poor so the wealthiest can be wealthy. Welcome to CAPITALISM!
