10 days.

That's the amount of time it takes you spend the money you get from work every two weeks. So what about those other 4 days? Well, real broke folks know that the days you spend with cents in your bank account give you a little common sense not to spend your whole paycheck over the weekend. Maybe if the direct deposit didn't hit on a Friday afternoon, that's when you're at your weakest, wondering if you've earned yourself a little treat for working so hard. We can blame inflation all we want, but broke people sometimes gotta look in the selfie cam of the $2000 iPhone they just bought to see the culprit of who's spending all that money! If you're one of those people who lives larger than their bank account, then you know exactly what it's like to be the broke one in the group. One of these days you'll have way more problems, because we're hoping to have a lot mo' money pretty soon.
