Money is all relative. I know people who have net worths in the multiple millions and they think they are broke because it takes more money than what they have to maintain their lifestyle.

I also know people who are truly in debt and think they are very well off because they have their health.

Did she think they were broke when they left the White House? Maybe to her they were. G. W. Bush thought so when he left the White House and said so several times. This despite the fact he had a ranch worth a few million and had just laid out cash for an $800,000 house. But Bush was very clear about how he needed to start making speeches to "pump up the old bank account."

Laura was making noises about just dumping the ranch and solving any money problems they might have, but he wanted to hang on it since it is a part of what he is.

Wherever your treasure is; there also will be the desires of your heart.
