Buddy and Martha Whitacre, a blue-collar couple, celebrate early retirement with a trip to Spain. They return home to discover that they've been wiped out by the investment fund that made retirement and travel possible. Damn Near Broke is the tale of how they deal with impending poverty, each other, and especially the shame of it all. Chapters alternate between Martha and Buddy, two quite different voices.
