Broke = strapped for cash- pp(quietly) & anagram of forced inside Stash(store)
Stash - secret store
Rap - criticism
P - quietly
For c ed
St rap p ed for c ash
Excellent = DEF
Little measures = ENs
I've = IVE
2.Def(excellent) + ens(little measures) + ive
Def (excellent) ens (printing measures) I've
Ignore my first post Toorak has it
Strapped for cash (broke) - 'rap' (criticism) + 'p(iano)' (quietly) + anag 'forced' (all in) 'stash' (secret store)

Defensive - 'def' (slang, "excellent") + 'ens' (little measures; printing) + I've
