I said this to someone else here, but I'll repeat the sentiment. A flat broke man that's good and willing is infinitely more valuable than the richest man on earth with all the toys who won't lift a finger. If you make up for what you lack, good people around you will see your value, beyond your monetary value. Being broke can also help you weed out the corrupted from your life, people who've bought into the jewish lie that money is the highest pursuit.
