My comfort level and *broke* level are very different.

I have money squirreled away in several different accounts, which are my *rainy day* and back up accounts.....so in real terms I am never broke.

I get uncomfortable when my everyday account gets below 1k, and I start watching what I spend.

When I was footloose and fancy free with no dependants or obligations besides rent and beer, I wouldnt care if I didnt have a dollar to my name the day before payday, and that was the norm.

But now, very different. Being unemployed for nearly a month has made me tghten my belt and watch what I spend.

I dont think I have ever been Broke in my life, I have always had a job and an income, I havent always lived within my means, but that was my choice.
