30 Funny Tweets From People Who Embrace Being Broke As Hell

apparently researchers found in 2021 that any solitary individual making above $75,000/year in USA at a maximum has reached plateaued happiness - $37/hour. To think federal minimum wage in the US is still $7.5/hour

I've never been rich, but I've been poor. I'm a lot happier when I'm not poor.

Same

Takes the edge off a lot of things. Don't care what anyone says, I would rather be rich and bored any day.

Right with you

Without the computer and phone, you'll never get a job.

This is like so true tho

Son ,thanks to Republicans, you live in a 3rd World Country !!

The difference between being broke and being poor.

Happiness is being able to pay for the necessities to live!

The person who spread around the idea that money can't buy happiness was probably a rich guy who didn't want to share. How happy is a homeless man who is cold in the winter, hot in the summer, unwashed and wearing filthy clothes, in danger of being burned alive for someone's amusment, and spending his life knowing that he's doing nothing with his life? How happy is a mother who can't feed her children and all she can do is watch them starve? I've never heard a poor person say that money can't buy happiness. I've only heard people who have enough money say that money can't buy happiness.

Happiness is to not have to worry about everything and money certainly makes that easier.

ahah, nice one

"That sofa bed is still usable... I just need to be careful the pissy side"...

Having supported myself during my student days with roadside (or even dumpster) furnishing "finds", some of which lasted well into my non-student days, I *still* do a double-take every time I see something abandoned which looks like it might be usable.

I've seen some absolute treasures on the road side!

Concerning a point in the Article, "living beyond one's means" is closely followed by "helping family and friends" as an expense that can lead to bankruptcy. IMO, that should be ONE category, because we're often called on to help family and friends even when it's above our means.

In my first apartment after college my roommate and I got all our furniture by scrounging. We brought a coffee table home once that was left out as trash, and it had some unidentifiable gunk on the bottom. We left it outside until we could go back out to clean it properly... then some squirrels came over and ate it all off. They liked whatever it was so much they chewed into the wood to get every last morsel. Sometimes things just work out on their own LOL!

Within the sound of dirt-poor.

At least it's an emergency number because this is a crisis for many.

Oh, in Korea, you can ♡ (for reference, 1000 krw is approximately 1 usd, yes, we're making millions here ♡)

Could be worse. Back in my day, in an emergency you dialed Zero. ("O" for "Operator")

I guess you can still dial 0 for an operator in some places! Lord knows my account needs help.

Odd quote. If you had that much money... why would it be sitting in your bank account?

Between savings, pension, and Social Security, I should be able to retire about three weeks after I die.

As long as I die yesterday… 😢

I know how hard cashiers and waiters/ waitresses work and what they make as a salary. I love to try to brighten their day with a quip or cute joke. If I know someone is an exceptional worker, I will talk to the management about our experience. I like the employee to be there during this time when I call out how exceptional their work is.

MUGGER: "Give me your purse!" ME: "But the purse is worth more than anything in it, and I got it at a garage sale!"

Sad! So sad! Crippling debt in the US. UGH!!!
