the only thing you can buy that makes you richer the broke way.
means An exciting, risky, or unusual experience or undertaking, often involving the unknown.
from From Latin adventura, 'things about to happen' — the future tense of advenire, 'to arrive' (ad-, 'to' + venire, 'to come'). It rolled through Old French as aventure before settling into English. Originally it carried the flavor of chance and risk — whatever fortune was 'about to come' your way — which is why it lent itself so naturally to tales of danger and the unexpected. The stray 'd' was later restored to honor its Latin parent.
