1. Broke: You don’t have hardly any money. Some, not all of your bills get paid on a regular basis. You rob Peter to pay Paul. Your daily meals might consist of Top Ramen and the frozen burritos they always have on sale.

2.Barely makin  it: Your bills get paid, but you never have any money left over to do what you want or buy what you want. The $12 matinee is definitely not your friend. You don’t go out much because you don’t have the money or the gas to get there.

3. Comfortable: You can buy just about anything you want, after saving up for it. You have the option of going on vacations every year. You may even own a house and a luxury car. People ask to borrow money from you, not vice versa. You work hard to be where you are. But, may not necessarily be in love with your job.

4. Ballin: You’re way past comfortable and it’s been like that for awhile now. You no longer worry about money and how you don’t have enough. You own a house and probably a couple of cars. Your bank account contains commas.

5. Wealthy: You have a couple million in assets. Sometimes you think that you have way more money than you need. You probably own a yacht and/or private plane. You can buy whatever you want, without having to ask or think about how much it costs. You probably work for yourself, because you discovered a long time ago that have a regular 9 to 5 does not get the job done.
