I want know differences between:
I'm broke.
and:
I don't have money.
Are they different expressions? For example, if I say:
I don’t have money.
can I also say:
I'm broke.
Any ideas or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Taking the phrases exactly as you have supplied them...
I don't have money = I am not a rich man. Money is something I do not have.
I am broke = At present, I have no money.
We can make a small change:
I don't have money on me = I have no money in my wallet or on my person at this moment (but I do have money in a bank account or at home)
I don't have the money = I cannot afford it; it is too expensive for me
