20 hilarious "Broke Memes" that will shift your perspective totally

Let’s discuss the topic – being broke – for a few minutes. Not like “I can’t afford that new iPhone” but “I just had to figure out how to make $5 last for a week”. Do you know that level of broke where you are trying to find ways to switch fast food napkins with tissue paper? Yeah, that’s real life.

But here’s the thing– it does not have to be a terrible experience, always. Sometimes, it humbles you into becoming the universe’s idea of a hustler – which, in this case, translates into surviving on little more than half a cereal box and whatever leftovers your mom has in the fridge.

If you know the feeling of opening an app and immediately minimizing it as if you saw a tragedy happen, these memes are here to tell us that things are tough and we need to deal with it. Calm yourselves for 20 more broke memes that will make you lose your breath in laughter.
