When you have to charge something below a dollar on your debit card, and you're still praying that it doesn't overdraft...

 

You know you're broke when you steal from the Salvation Army donation trailer & sell it on e-bay.

 

You know you're broke when you volunteer to sort clothes at a clothes closet for the homeless...only to pick out the good ish and sell it.
