We're Broke!
This is one of the most overused phrases I have ever heard and apparently almost no one now a days knows what the hell it means. I hear this from my friends all the time. It is strange that they say this before they buy $35k vehicles or go on vacations 2 times a year. I especially love it when they go out every weekend and buy new outfits for their date nights. Why not throw the weekly $70 golf outing and daily starbucks. It is interesting how many people say they are broke but when it all comes down to it, it is nothing but irresponsible money management. If you could cut down some of your manicures, golf, movies etc you wouldn't be so broke or God forbid you get a car without every bell and whistle.
While we were paying off debt, people had a hard time understanding us when we said we didn't have money for $10 lunch or this or that because the term has been so dilluted.
