The Pros And Cons Of Being The Broke Friend

Money doesn't grow on trees, ya know?
  1. Pro: No One Asks

    Since you're always broke, your friends will just know not to ask to lend money.

  2. con: you're broke

    OK, so the obvious. You're broke and there's nothing that you can do about that...or is there? Being broke is never fun, but maybe you need to figure out how to change that so you can do, buy and save more.

  3. Pro: You get out of things easily

    When you're broke, you're more than likely a homebody. You stay home to save the money you do have. People won't really expect you to show and if they do, you can get out of it because your reason is always the same.
