The Top Ten Things A Broke Person Is Afraid Of
- The telephone. Thank goodness for caller ID.
- The mail. You’d rather open the Valpak envelope than the envelope from the gas company.
- The colored slip from the post office. You’ve got (a registered) mail!
- The long, long pause after the cashier swipes that piece of plastic. It’s like credit card roulette.
- The knock on the door. Beware, they also peek through windows.
- The piece of paper stuck to the front door. If colorful, it is probably just a flyer.
- The hissing sound from the faucet. Don’t flush the toilet. Yet.
- The utility company’s van. Right in front of the house.
- The tow truck. Near the car.
- The following day. It’s just the same thing all over again.

Jul 19, 08 at 12:10 pmHey Lily! Thanks for your comment! I love your blog already, it is so colorful and pleasing to the eye. I bookmarked it and will definately return to it in the future. Would you be interested in writing a guest blog for me? I will be writing more on being broke and instead of posts that are depressing, I want them to be hopeful and fun and funny and I like this list so much. Let me know what you think and we can collab! You can write me an e-mail or comment back on my blog.
Cheers and beers!
Jess
