“Harry Truman was broke when he left office.”

If memory serves, Harry Truman was pretty broke when he entered office. He left as he arrived, he and Mrs Truman drove back to Independence, MO and moved in with her mother.

I don’t know that he was ‘broke’—he still had his home in Independence, MO, but word is that he and Bess took a cab from the White House and rode the train back to Missouri.
