misio
Short answer
In Lima, "misio" means broke, with no money. The register is coloquial — fine among friends, out of place in a job interview or anything written to an institution. The standard Spanish equivalent is "sin dinero". In use: Estoy misio hasta fin de mes.

About a temporary state, not poverty as a condition. Said about oneself far more often than about others, where it would be rude.
