Having a six-figure income doesn’t mean you’re rich. Many high earners should be wealthy, but are actually poorer than those who earn less money.

You really can’t help someone who refuses to help themself. You can throw as much money as you want at a situation, but it will not address the underlying issues of irresponsibility and dysfunction that lead to the need for extra money in the first place.

‘I paid for $1.00 worth of Ramen with a check at a grocery store. The check bounced.’: Former broke people share the brokest things they did while living in poverty
We all have different definitions of «broke.» I would argue that someone who makes $150,000 a year but has $150,000 in debt is pretty dang broke. I can also admit that someone with that amount of money coming in is probably not living a stereotypically «broke» existence as someone without any debt who’s making $35,000 …

19-year-old college student breaks into the ice rink that fired him and eats the food in the break room, hasn’t been caught in 3 months: ‘The break room is my only source of fresh and hot food’
To say that I eat at work is an understatement. I subsidize my diet with the various fruits, cheeses, sodas, and chips that are provided at my office. If a green apple, a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos, two cheese sticks, and a can of Diet Coke isn’t lunch, then I’ve been doing it wrong …

It’s a sad fact of life that many kids don’t get the supportive parents they deserve.
