I've always seen the words broke and poor used in the opposite way you are using them. Being broke is a temporary situation, being poor is more of a state of being. e.g. Elon Musk is broke but he's not poor.
- wisty 16y agoI'm using them in a similar way. Elon Musk won't solve his problems by getting a part-time job at Wallmart, so why should he bother? The same is true for a lot of people who are also broke, but happen to be poor as well.
