There is nothing wrong with it except that it is a blanket statement and
isn't true. Most people, when broke, do without.
If that's what you wanted to write, you should have written that instead of
attempting to pass it off as a grammar correction.
I don't disagree with you; most people go without. But I was (and still am, to
a degree) somewhat obsessive, so sitting idle drove crazy.
