When Poor and Wanting Money

Okay, listen up, you big dummy! This meme, right, it's about what happens when you're super broke and really, really need some cash. You, like the author of this meme, probably know what that feels like. The picture shows a guy, looking all raggedy, in a bank that's literally on fire. He's even got a lighter in his hand, like he started the whole mess! The text says, "WHEN YOU ARE POOR AND WANTING MONEY." See? It's a dark, over-the-top way of saying that sometimes when people are desperate for money, they might do something totally wild and destructive, like setting a bank on fire. It's a bit of an exaggeration, obviously, because you're not going to burn down a bank, but it captures that feeling of extreme frustration, you know?
