My 'comfort' level and my 'broke' level are two very different things. I am 'comfortable' when I've got a couple/few hundred in the checking account after having paid bills and put a couple hundred into savings accounts. I live fairly minimal. Supporting someone on a single income we usually manage to put at least $400 a month away, pay all our bills & groceries, and still have a couple hundred left over after every pay check.
As for how broke I've been. Well. I'm a little spoiled. When I was scraping bottom on a regular basis, I'd end up calling my parents for help. I've, therefore, never had to decide between food and gas. But having to ask for money from my parents on a regular basis pretty much destroyed my self esteem at the time.
