  2. "Broke" is a condition. You are living in a state that you don''t want to be in, but you do not accept it as inevitable.
    "Poor" is a mindset. You live below the level that you think that would be great to be at, but you do not do anything about it. You are poor because you believe that you will always be poor.

  3. when you are broke you are just passing through that stage of finances

    when you are poor you don't think you can get in a better financial position so you don't try to build wealth

  4. Broke is when you don't have a lot of money, but you're actively working to change that. You know that there are things that you can do, like working harder, saving, and investing to move beyond being broke.
    Poor is when you don't have a lot of money, but you don't really have a desire to change that. You don't want to work harder or take the time to spend and save your money wisely. You're content to take handouts and have accepted the situation you're in as permanent.

  5. Being broke is having no money and saying to yourself, "I'm just passing through."
    Poor is the state of mind when having no money and losing the willpower to change it.

  10. Broke means that you are currently out of money. Poor is more of a state of mind.
