You know you're broke when....

[ClassyLady]

-- 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
