The definition of broke

The average western homeless guy in 2026 lives a more luxurious lifestyle than a king in 1400.

Their clothes are made of materials that literally last for 200 years.

Their drugs come with bonus drugs mixed in.

People hand them money and survival stuff for nothing.

If they go in a store and steal some stuff, the worst thing that can happen is they get locked in a jail where all their needs are taken care of for free.

They have RIGHTS. A concept that a medieval king could never even dream of.

I never again want to see a video of a person sitting in a car, perfectly sterile, in stylish clothes, saying “I’m broke.”

No, you’re not. You’re just comparing yourself to someone who sucks. You’re saying that anything less than an entirely unsustainable standard is a problem.

Relative poverty

You need to redefine the baseline of what counts as human suffering. Surviving without luxury is actually normal.

Having fancy shoes is not fun. It sucks and is uncomfortable.

Having a closet full of new clothes is not fun. Fuck a “personal style.” Just wear the same thing every day.

You don’t need a car. You sure-as-shit don’t need a gym membership. You can get a bike for free.

You don’t need makeup. Or hairstyle. Or coffee. Or perfume. Or tattoos. Or a new anything. Being ugly is fine. It’s fun. It’s freeing.

You don’t even need 99% of what we call “hygene”. It’s mostly fake and unhealthy.

Waaaaaa the rich are getting even richer! Yeah. Because you’re giving them your money. Stop doing it.

Oh no! I was influenced by social media! You are intellectually disabled. Go do something fun instead.

Reset your standard to reality

You are an animal. This is what you actually need:

• One single outfit
• Basic food. Just enough to not be underweight.
• A fresh water source
• A tarp
• Fun
