Not even close to broke, not even close to rich though either. My wife's BSN and my BBA are done and paid for completely (so nice to say that). I have a year worth of expenses in my savings account, I have 4k cash in our safe at our house for emergency needs. We have a nice, but reasonable house that we have a 30year mortgage on (meh), she drives an 09 Highlander (paying on) I have a 04 Odyssey that we paid cash on, I have a 99 K1500 Silverado that has a touch over 100k miles we paid cash for. We have a 7month old, we are very frugal, but can splurge if/when we want because of our aforementioned frugality. We are trying to stock away money for retirement, the only thing materialistic that I do want is a barn or outbuilding. I didn't think that not having an outbuilding or barn would be a big deal, but it sucks. My dad had 2 massive barns and 3 smaller barns on his old property and I think I took that for granted. Barns/outbuildings are just stupid money. No way in hell and I spending 40-50k for a decent barn, I am not mortgaging away our future for a want not a need.
