[General] broke to the wide

[vil]

Dear teachers,

Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?

I was damned glad to get the job, I can tell you, I was about broke to the wide when they took me on.

broke to the wide = stony broke = flat broke

Thanks for your efforts.

Regards,

V.
