=== Summary ===
The movie begins with a titlecard over a city, presumably Ann Arbor, Michigan. It reveals the name of the movie, "Young, Dumb, and Broke". A cutscene occurs, revealing the main character, Dave. It shows him gaming in what looks to be a basement, where he is on the phone with some of his friends on discord. It is very obvious that he is a stereotypical dropout in their late twenties to early thirties. He is playing what looks to be an online pvp (player versus player) game, and he is notably good at it. He is drinking Miller's Lite on the side, which eventually and very obviously gets him drunk later on in the movie, resulting in a long and uncomfortable scene.
Dave eventually gets off the game in a very quick manner, by exiting out of the game and ending the call abruptly, before running into the bathroom and throwing up. He passes out, and is eventually woken up by the sound of his phone ringing in the other room. He moans lowly, before getting up to go see who's calling him. He discovers that his livestream on youtube is still going, where he then closes out of it. He sits back down in his chair, before surfing the internet. He eventually goes to a website that is unrevealed on the movie, and an obvious scene of self pleasuring is shown. He finishes, and goes to his bed, which is a mattress on the floor next to his desk. He falls asleep, before another cutscene occurs. 
A cutscene occurs, showing that it is the next night and he is still asleep. Dave wakes up later into the night, before running up the stairs to go get another pack of beer. It is implied that he has been neglecting himself, which becomes increasingly obvious as the camera comes closer to him in the scene of him opening the fridge, revealing the amount of oil that has built up on him. He goes back to his room, where he cracks open another beer, before self pleasuring again. He finishes, before getting back on call with his friends on discord, and getting on a survival multiplayer game, where he sees somebody by the name of "whiskeybenthellbound". He notices that the person is unusually close to his character, which sparks anger in him. He finishes his 5th beer, before asking his friends to "id" the person, before calling them a "dumbass", followed by a racial slur. 
Dave turns his microphone on in the game, before calling out the other character, who already had their microphone obvious, and it was obvious that they were streaming. The person turned, before asking them if they could be helped. Dave starts to go off on them, before laughing and insulting everything about their character and personality. The person pauses for a moment, before asking what the point of doing that was. Dave pauses, before responding with a simple "why not". The person takes a moment to respond, before telling Dave that they hoped he got better and that they wished they could help him, because he obviously needs help. They then turned around, before teleporting to a random part of the map. Dave paused, before sighing. Throughout the rest of the night, it becomes increasingly obvious that everything that the person said genuinely affected Dave.
Later on in the game, Dave and his friends are setting up a camp, and it is obvious that Dave is drunk. Eventually, his friends tell him that they have to go, before individually logging off one by one. Dave notices that they are still online, and playing another game, without him. He sighs and starts to roll a blunt on his desk, trying to form an idea on what he should do about his friends obviously leaving him. 
Dave notices another person nearby setting up their camp. He goes towards them, due to his friends departure leaving him with no shelter, or materials to build one. Dave notices that it is the person from before, and immediately becomes embarrassed. The rest of the night becomes a blur as Dave gets extremely drunk and eventually greens out, making him collapse in his own vomit at his desk. He rests for about an hour, before waking up to the feeling of the vomit against his face. He throws up upon realization, before rushing to clean himself up. He notices that his discord is open, and that he added the person from the game that he was playing before he passed out.
Over the time of the two talking, which also becomes a routine for Dave, it becomes obvious that his health is steadily getting better, as his drinking becomes controlled, and his cannabis intake is steadily decreasing. The two continue to conversate, showing that his addictions of illegal substances have been replaced by music and new hobbies, before a timeskip of over a year occurs, showing the viewer that Dave has gotten addicted to numerous different illegal drugs, and that his drinking problems have returned, and that they are worse than before. He gets back into his addiction of masturbation, and has even reconnected with his old friends from the beginning of the movie. 
Dave once more greens out, before passing out on his desk on stream. He wakes up to his stream automatically disconnecting due to inactivity, before hearing a discord text notification. He sighs, before opening discord on his phone as he cleans up his vomit from off of the desk. He notices that it is from the same person that he used to talk to over a year ago, and gasps. He goes and sits down on the bed, before responding to them. As he shoots up heroin, the camera zooms in on the phone, revealing that the two talked every day and were practically best friends before the mystery person disappeared. 
Dave also develops an addiction to self harming, which is shown in a flashback towards the end of the movie, where he is cutting himself up in a scene after he convinces himself that his friend is never going to come back for him, and has left him for good. 
Another text notification comes in, and it is the person asking if he is okay. Dave sighs, still in his high from heroin, before responding with a simple "I guess". The person immediately takes this as a red flag, before calling Dave. Dave answers, reluctantly, and asks them what they want. The person apologizes for leaving, before explaining why they left in the first place. Dave responds that it's okay, and that he's used to people leaving him. The person tries to explain that they didn't leave, but Dave hangs up on them. 
Another time skip takes place, showing that Dave is once more in recovery, and making more appropriate videos on Youtube, instead of doing inappropriate streams on twitch while also smoking and drinking. Dave and the mystery person eventually meet up with Dave's money from youtube, revealing that he's actually doing well on youtube, as seemingly nobody knows about his deleted twitch account and it's streams. The two bond more in real life, as Dave kicks his bad habits completely, giving up masturbation, drinking, heroin, cursing, slurs, self harm, and cannabis. 
The two eventually get together, which is shown at the very end of the movie in a scene of the two slow dancing in a living room together, before kissing, which is the absolute final scene of the entire movie, ending it on a beautiful, raw, sweet, and passionate note, the exact polar opposite of the beginning, and a nice change from the middle of the movie. It is revealed that the living room is a room in a house that Dave has bought with his revenue from Youtube.
