For some people, broke means not being able to take a vacation to Aruba
For others, it means skipping out on dinner for two weeks
A flight to Aruba costs $150. Actually if you can’t afford to fly to Aruba you honestly are broke.
One-way, from Miami, or round-trip with connections? In my experience air travel that’s not short-range and direct has a base price of about $300 round-trip.
Anyway, the point is not being able to get there empty-handed, it’s being able to take a week off work and travel and have lodging and entertainment and things. This all costs way more than what the median American has in savings.
