Today, a co-worker invited me to go out for lunch with him. I politely declined, saying I had too many errands to do. The truth is that I'm just too broke. I'll be buying myself a burrito using quarters I found on the floor of my car. FML

OP here! I appreciate everyone's feedback and helpful comments! Although I make considerably less than most of my coworkers because I have only been here about 7 months, I have no room to complain. I just thought this story would make a good FML. Me and my boyfriend make a decent living on our own and this situation happened after I had to fork out some money on some unexpected expenses! I do pack my own lunch about 4 out of 5 days and have actually been working on budgeting a lot more! Even reading Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover.. I have definitely noticed a lot of money saved by not eating out as much as I used to!

Don't be ashamed of not having money.. It happens.. Just be upfront and take a rain check with your co-worker. They should understand

Simply say, "I would love to, but budget is tight this month. I'm very sorry! Maybe next time, though?" That can't hurt anything, and maybe he'll offer to pay! :) I hope things go better in the future!

Money is a blessing. And a curse.

I know how you feel! For the first time in 30 years, my hubby is laid off & our bank account's overdrawn! I can't afford to pay attention! It's hard being poor! :-(

Maybe if you sold that challenger, your iPad, and iTouch it would help out some.

Same happened to my dad once. Money is almost impossible to come by.

Kayley93, Maybe you mind your own business! I've sold many things I had to make ends meet! Do you think he needs the car to job hunt? BTW, he got a great job, $30 an hour, less than his last one at $32 but it's a job! I'm a Grandma, not a kid! I know what needs to be done, little girl!!!

Times are tough. I've been eating nothing but rice and ramen for the past week.

Hot Pockets always burn the roof of my mouth. But that second bite is always short behind it.
