Summary

This quote suggests that poverty is not simply a lack of financial resources but also a mentality or perspective. The speaker distinguishes between being poor, which they imply is a mindset or way of thinking, and being broke, which is described as a temporary condition. This implies that one's state of being impoverished is not solely determined by external circumstances but can also be influenced by one's mindset and beliefs about wealth and abundance. It implies that while being broke may be a temporary financial state, being poor is a more entrenched perspective that can be changed through a shift in mindset and attitude.
