I have been at the state of being so broke that I had to decide between gas and groceries. Those were the 8 dollar a week grocery budget days. I have also been broke enough to afford neither groceries nor gas and overdrawn by 700 dollars.
These days, I consider us to be very rarely broke. We pay all our bills and usually have enough extra to go out to eat once in a while.
I still can't imagine considering <10,000 broke. I hope I live to see that for our family. It might not be until 10,000 is the cost of a loaf of bread, though.
