Being on a tight budget requires creativity. Sometimes that means finding other ways to have a good time. Sometimes it means varying your meal plans by having ramen one night, eggs another night, and ramen with a hint of hot sauce for something different a third night. Sometimes your friends will hit you up wanting to go out and so you have to fake a crying fit in order to get them to pay for you to join them. And sometimes you're not even faking that crying fit. Sometimes it's an actual crying fit.

If any of these scenarios resonate with you, then I hate to break it to you but you're probably broke. Not to worry, though: so many of us on this site are. For the sake of mutual commiseration, keep scrolling below for this collection of broke memes and fails.
