Not everyone has been quite this broke (I have!), but everyone hits their own personal low when it comes money. Only in the past six months or so have I managed to lift myself out of the bottomless pit of being so broke they charged me for being broke. I opened a money market account with a high interest rate in February, and get this - they really do give you money for having money. I've deposited $150 since I opened the account and they've given me $.29. Granted, a quarter and a few pennies isn't much. But all I had to do to get it was save a some money. My regular savings account is lucky to earn one red cent in interest in a month!
Maybe one day I'll earn enough interest to even out those overdraft fees I paid when I was younger.
