"Fixed income" doesn't necessarily mean broke though.

It literally just means it's not going up. I've had a dude with a networth of over $200k tell me he's on a "fixed income".

A net worth of $200k+ (and since you said $200k, that implies it's not $300k, and most likely not $250k) is not that much in the US. If he owns a house, that likely means he has under $100k of liquid assets. Even if that $100k is getting a 10% return, it's only producing $10k income every year. I believe that's under the poverty level. So, while he's not broke right now, there's a pretty good chance he will be relatively soon if he doesn't get some new source of income. He could very well be living entirely off of social security.
