Totally Broke

Money is an integral part of life as it is often necessary for survival. How long have you ever been without one penny to your name? This includes absolutely no money in the bank, in your home or on your person? What was the cause and how did you pull through it?

Broke Totally

In my adult life this was how it was for the early years. I would pay my bills when I got paid, buy groceries and then when the money was gone, it was gone. It just meant no extracurricular activities until the next payday.

Name: Jerome

Comments: Well, I'm living that situation right now, and to make it worst I'm in a foreign country.

Yes in my early years I would go a week or more with no money and little gas in my tank. That meant I did not get out much. Lucky for me I joined the military and was able to start saving some money.

Sorry to hear that Jerome I hope things improve. I have been fortunate in never being completely busted with no monies in sight. I think after college was the worst. I 80 to my name and had to use it all for gas to get back and forth. Thank goodness for the food bank took enough to get me by till payday then returned it all plus some.

No shame in asking for help if you are doing all you can.
