Are You Broke? Perpetually So?
If you answer yes, you probably avidly try to keep up with the Joneses, buy stuff you don't need, never plan ahead, pay more than you need to all the time, and blame your problems on outside forces.
So says this post on 10 Attributes of the Perpetually Broke.

Some women are perpetually broke simply because they "have nothing to wear." Yet recently some former premium jeans buying women have decided to stop the cycle. They are voluntarily giving up the habit of buying apparel for one year. Yes you heard it right. 40 women, hailing from twelve different states, and one in the U.K. have bonded together on a blog with the single goal of giving up apparel purchases for one year. The blog is called The Great American Apparel Diet, http://www.thegreatamericanappareldiet.com. They are looking to grow the movement by allowing women to join up until Dec. 31st of 2009. The diet ends on August 31st, 2010 regardless of when you join. Most of the women started the "diet" on Sept. 1st 2009. All but a few are still on the wagon and enjoying the commarderie of like minded women who want to be more mindful of their spending.
