"In the end, I think we’re all sort of broke, in one way or another. We get used to living a certain way, with a certain level of comfort, and as soon as we don’t have the means to sustain that lifestyle anymore, we feel as though we’re up the creek without a paddle. Some of us may be monetarily broke, having to borrow money from our parents to get through the month. Others of us may be emotionally broke, having given all we can give and receiving nothing in return. We’re all trying to make the metaphorical ends meet.
The thing about being broke, though, about always running on almost-empty, is that it keeps us sharp. It keeps us, in some ways, in touch with the harsher realities of life; it somewhat prepares us for, God forbid, being actually broke. And it gives us something to complain about, because otherwise our lives are pretty much golden.”
