How Broke is broke?
I was talking with a friend the other day about what people mean when they say they are broke. Our mutual acquaintance was crying poverty and asking for free construction labor since she had already dipped into her 401k and was now down to a mere 420 grand. She is in her late 40s, btw, plenty of work left in her.
I've heard many people complain of being broke then taking three transcontinental flights for week long visits that same year. So, how broke is broke? Don't include the value of your house, (I think we learned that lesson) just liquid assets.
