‘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 …

People will sacrifice a lot for love, even without the guarantee of it lasting forever. I’m sure many of us know people who have moved across the country for the sole purpose of being with a partner, and it went horribly terribly wrong. Who could forget that TikTok of a woman who moved from LA …

Many of us have been pushed to our financial limits, wondering how we’ll make up the difference at the end of the month.

Stay-at-home girlfriend of 11 years cheats on her boyfriend, tries to sue him when he stops supporting her lifestyle: ‘She said I should move out but continue paying the bills to give her and the new guy a chance to get on their feet’

Did your parents tell you never to discuss money and politics with others? When I was younger, I thought that was a stringent set of rules to place on yourself, but as time has passed, it makes more and more sense why it’s not always advisable to discuss such personal things. Unless you’re married or …
