Why do Americans pretend they're not broke when most Americans are in debt? - Lemmy.World

I am absolutely beyond broke on paper. My debts are well into the six figures and my bank account is in the low five figures.

I’m in my 40s and have a whopping $15k for retirement and no assets.

It’s pretty awesome.

I’ve been there. It sucks. But it was possible for me to get out. It took years. Be careful, and be ready to catch any luck that might come your way.

That's all we can do here. Sadly only some of us will be reak out.

But if everyone did their best, it would deny owners so. i profit at least.
