Is everyone poor & broke?
not yet...
I don't know if everyone is poor or broke maybe they budget to keep it. Poor and broke could take on different meanings, for many of us we were once comofortable and now we are pinching pennies.
I will always be rich with life no matter how many pennies are not in the cookie jar.
I know a lot of people struggling. There are many different factors weighing on to determining why they are?
However, I'm presently unable to answer it, until my project, surveys, polls and other things I'm working is finished.
I've met of few of the local homeless people, I run into many in the community.
I'm not spending money on things as I did a few years ago.
I am not hungry and have a roof over my head; so I'm not poor but
broke.

0I'm better the some, worse than others...I've had to cut a few things from my budget, because they cut our hours at work. The reason I can afford internet...it's easy...it's a free perk where I'm living, I just use my friend's wireless signal.
If it matters ddsurfsca...in the U.S. that stat you have is about accurate.
On a global scale 20% of the population control over 80% of the world's wealth. And, I'm pretty sure this stat has gone up in last few years. However, before mentioned 20% is down to about 15%, with the latter rising up to as much as 90%?
Unknown exactly, because of the economic downturn devastated a lot of wealthy people. Some whom took their own lives, because of.
The stats I present are roughly about 5-10 years ago.
My access isn't free, but it will be the last service that I turn off.
I value internet over heat.
This is why I'm bundled up with my thermostat at a cozy 58º.God that's cheap1 Same in the UK, internet is cheap. Here I am paying €45 a month, which is about $30. Extortionate.
But I've no heating or television, so worth itI am doin fine, not filthy rich either, but just fine.
So are all my family and friends.
So true.
If the pay scale here doesn;t pick up I will be broken.
I have often heard this, that everyone on forums like this don't seem to be doing good, or are not rich anyways. The thing is, most forums are populated with people trying to figure out how to make a little money off the net.
The rich people don't take time to come onto forums like this because,, well,, they don't have to! If your rich your working hard making that money and doing things with that money.
So you find very few rich people on any forums, they don't have the time to be on them. Which is why you should always be skeptical of someone who is always on a forum boasting about how much money they make!- sneakorocksolidposted 13 years ago0
Well between taxes and some medical bills we are right now!
I am rich in so many ways and I haven't been fixed yet!

Oh please, never never feel embarrassed to feel your doing well! That's what we all strive for, to do well money wise. I'm hoping by the end of this year I'll hit my goal of making what I want to make each week. And all while working at home on the net.

There's poor-
and then there's broke.
The first is a state of mind, the second a state of wallet I got wiped out in the bankers crisis (which we paid for)so yes I'm poor by comparison to what life used to be like, when frankly I was kinda rich!
But I am more content now than ever before, and like our friend said, poor is a state of mind!
I'm definitely broke, and at 58 there are few 'jobs' available, and in Spain there are few business 'opportunities'.
Oh and they also stopped my health business last week! - that used to provide a few Euros each month!
Shucks, why did you even ask that question!
Johnnot poor...not broke...but not filthy rich...doing great with what we have...HAPPY
There are free internet access.
But for ours, we are paying like $24 including landline phone.
