Being broke is no fun — especially if the circumstances were totally under your control. We’ve all been there at some point in our lives. Spending too much money on a new outfit to wear out and consequently blowing the grocery budget for the month, or eating and drinking out five days a week and having to forgo cell phone access for three weeks.
