When I was broke, no one ever offered to buy me a beer. Now that I have quite a bit of money, everybody tries to buy me beers. Where were all these people back when I was in college and broke?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
None of my friends were ever as broke as I was.
I was broke until I was 40. Really broke. I could get by, but I had nothing.
I was broke from 19 to 26, borrowing money from my parents or my brothers or sisters every week to pay the bills.
My dad was a bartender. My mom was a cashier, a maid and a stock clerk at K-Mart. They never made it big. They were never rich. And yet they were successful. Because just a few decades removed from hopelessness, they made possible for us all the things that had been impossible for them.
I drank beer, and I had a career year.
I grew up with no money. No money. I always struggled and had the sense that there was this other class of people who went to college - this was when I was younger.
It's funny how all of this has worked out - I wasn't popular in high school, but now every drunken guy in the United States wants to be my pal. They all want to buy me a shot, and pretty soon I'm throwing up.
I'm not gonna be broke, like my mom was broke, my uncles were broke, my sisters didn't have money, my cousins on down.
Well, I'm still here. Didn't have to go to rehab, and I'm not broke.
I'm not broke. Like everybody else, I owe money.
