It wasn't me...
 
.You run out of Kool-Aid and decide to drink plain water and sugar mixed together, because you can't afford 30 cents for a pack of Kool-Aid. I love my Kool-Aid, but I haven't been that bad off yet :D.

you search your car for loose change so you can get a even $2.00 in gas.

...you start making up recipes that use only the food you already have in your house

...you start categorizing things by how much you think you could get for them at the pawn shop

. . . hafta get a payroll advance.

. . . hafta get another payroll advance from another place to pay the other pay advance off.

. . . you continue this insane behavior for 2-3 months.

. . . you are broke for 14 straight days because you had to use all of your paycheck to pay off that last payroll advance.

. . . all that's in your 'frigerator is condiments.

. . . you don't even have ice.

. . . you roll ALL your pennies and go trade them in.

. . . you usin' newspaper for toilet paper.

"Top Ten Signs That You're Broke...."


10- You start eating "condiment sandwiches" (i.e. ketchup and mustard on empty hotdog buns, mayonaise on white bread)

9- You see that ramen noodles are on sale, 10 for a dollar, and you only get 8.

8- You mix bacon bits and water and convince yourself that its a real meal. (I've actually heard of this done before :eek: )

7- You fight your roommate for loose change found on the floor.

6- You go out to eat with your friends and make a full meal out of iced tea and the "free" dinner rolls.

5- You start patching up the furniture with safety pins, paper clips, duct tape....

4- You start using jelly jars as glasses. (*Guilty as charged)

3- You start saving and re-washing paper cups, plates, etc.

2- You cut the car off the middle of traffic to "save gas".

1- You owe 17 different people money.

LMAO, NO........ THAT'S GHETTO. LOL
You run out of Kool-Aid and decide to drink plain water and sugar mixed together, because you can't afford 30 cents for a pack of Kool-Aid. That's GHETTO TOO.

when you don't have enough to buy your favorite 5 dollar combo at wendys, instead you go to the 99 cent menu.

You search your closet for a skirt, dress, shirt, or anything that may still have the tags on them so you can take it back.

-- you honestly think that ketchup and ramen noodles will taste like spaghetti if you season it right

-- you don't use electricity until the night time

-- the only thing in your refrigerator is batteries and baking soda

-- you start to wonder if there is any kind of food that you can make with just baking soda

-- you eat cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner

-- at a restaurant, you order water with lemon and try to make lemonade with all of those sugar packets on a table

-- you ask everybody that you know, friends, neighbors, coworkers, for a dime until you have enough to order a pizza

-- you have less than a dollar in your bank account

-- you will use any paper product in place of toilet paper, notebook paper, envelopes, receipts, bills, etc.

-- you go to a department store and steal fresh tags so that you can put them on clothes that you already own and take those back to the store (I've seen it done)

-- you try to pawn stupid stuff e.g. paper clips, lotion, socks

...you are really wondering when your girl is gonna pay back that $.75 she owes you

...you will do whatever it takes to get to the party before 11:00 (cause you know the price goes up $2 after that)

...you start looking in random places for loose change (i.e. under the seats in your car, at the bottom of old purses)

...you decide you're not REALLY that hungry... and just go to sleep
