Being Broke

I am so broke that today I went to the ATM to cash the last N500 in my account. Yes folks, I am that broke. I have not been this broke in years. And to make matters worse, my car just stopped working.

We'll see how this goes.

BTW, the ATM did not give me any money because I did not have sufficient funds for the transaction. That is, I did not have enough to cover the N100 charged by the bank that owes the ATM.

The last time I was this broke, I did not have a job and that was years ago.

  3. i prefer being broke in nigeria than abroad ooo. if u're broke in nigeria, it usually means u don't have cash-at-hand. it doesn't mean u are owing credit card company and they have have given ur name to collectors. that one na true broke. as long as head is above water, u'll be fine.

  5. @all: Thanks all, for your comments. I noticed that no-one offered me money. That is serious O-Y-O. Is that how you guys do your good samaritan deed? ;)

    Lucky for me, some debtors deemed it fit to pay me just a day after I put up this post so I have bounced back.

  13. Until I read down the line, and saw you were sorted, I was going to offer some money even if you would've taken offence. I've been cash-strapped before and it can be a terrible thing.
    Glad you're out of it, but you can "lean on me".
