Bootleg budget

A descriptive term that refers to someone who doesn't make a lot of money and doesn't have a lot of money with them

Some common characteristics exhibited by these people are:

-Always being tired looking, sounding or feeling (maybe even a combination of them)

-Being into something that many stupid people would consider "weird" or "childish" like anime or video games

-Dressing in very simple ways like a T shirt that's a single colour

Nathan: Hey man, you wanna go eat some Italian food with me?

Jimmy: No man, I'm on a bootleg budget. Still struggling affording high quality food, I live off of frozen meals. Sorry

Nathan: Oh... that sucks. Well maybe when you get that degree we can spend more time and money together

Jimmy: Yeah
