Just felt the need to get this off my chest and I'm not saying it to offend anyone or hurt any one's feelings as I'm guilty off these things myself.
Ever told anyone "every thing's going to work out", "it's going to get better", "I totally understand" and maybe "just pray about it"? We all have. I know I have. Lately I hear these things a lot from people because of the situation I'm in and not to be rude but these comments all thou comforting at the moment really don't seem to help.
Right now I have ZERO money coming into my home and everything I mean everything is falling apart from keeping things on or keeping them in general all the way to my health, which caused this issue. Hearing "I totally understand, I'm broke too" seriously doesn't help. Why you ask? Well if you have a check coming in to your house any money at all you are way ahead of me. Not being able to go out on the town, buy a new outfit or get your nails done to me isn't broke. Broke is the bank calling EVERYDAY for the mortgage and telling you how close you are to foreclosure and the car loan company calling and you knowing one morning you might wake up and the car is missing from your inability to pay the bill, or your water or power being shut off, to me that's broke. Again, I too am guilty of saying these same things to people also.
I guess from this point forward I will watch very closely what I say to others especially when it is a financial situation because for me that by far is the hardest to hear comments about. I will definitely be more considerate of throwing the phrase "I'm broke too" around also as I might be better off then the next man because at least for right this minute I still have a roof over my head.
