Today, my 4 year old son thought it was funny to put money in the shredder. He stuck over 500 dollars in it. FML
Today I realized that my boyfriend has more money on his Metro card than I have in my entire bank account. FML
Today, I told my son to get a job and start paying rent. Five minutes later he transferred me rent for the next 5 years. When I demanded to know where he got that kind of money, he showed me his bank statements. He’s made more money mining Bitcoin than I’ve made in 15 years. FML
Today, after creating a swear jar for my son, I came back to find a $20 bill in it and him saying, "How much does that buy?" FML
Today, I realized the only way I can pay my bills this month is if I steal from my 8 year old's birthday money. FML
Today, a little girl I give horse-riding lessons to told me she had saved up $8.00 for her own pony. I laughed and thought how cute she was, then realized that was more than I have in my own savings account. FML
Today, my six year-old son maxed my credit card on Robux. FML
Today, I realized that the closest thing I have to a savings account is the cup on my dresser with coins in it. I counted it, $17.34. That is my savings. I'm 28. FML
Today, my 7 year-old daughter was counting all the money she made over the weekend from her lemonade stand. She made sixty dollars and said now she has more money than I do. She's right. FML
Today, I let my young son play on my RuneScape account, figuring he was too young to do much more than walk around randomly. I came back to find out he'd somehow gotten into my in-game bank and lost a huge amount of money. FML

Kids cost money, hopefully you are spending yours on him! There is nothing wrong with being broke if you are using your money for the right reasons.

Or OP is having to spend their money on bills, groceries, and other necessities that aren't too cheap
Kallian_fml 21
It's those damned expensive kids! They're so expensive these days, with the night lights and apparently required daily feeding.

wow imagine if OP was joking

That reminds me of how broke people are these days. At least OP is spending his money on a good cause (hopefully). This 8th grader and this 6th grader have to SHARE a phone. That's how broke they are.

#83, phones aren't really a necessity tho. If anything its just one extra bill.

I know this is a pretty rare situation but maybe the kid has a LIT sacked, I remember when I was 4 I had $800 in my piggy bank because I did little shows for my mom and drew her pictured so she paid me fit them.

Some times I wonder if I want kids, they are not cheap or easy to handle. But one thing is I don't want to be like my friend who has 2 kids and ha not had a job in 2 years

Kids dont have bills to pay. i had more money than the adults in my family until i had to start paying for everything
Horsempeg 25
Kids don't have bills, and I don't know your life choices OP, but your kid has a chance to have a wonderful life. Depending on if he keeps on saving.

I agree with 93. When I was 21, I was able to save up $11,000. Then I moved back out of my parents and started paying off my student loans. 4 years later, I am broke and owe $300 to my dad plus other bills.

It's true. I had way more disposable income when I was a kid than I do as an adult. My grandparents would send me a twenty for christmas and I'd be all YAY! TWENNY BUCKS! Now I work my ass off, get paid, cover bills and rent, payments on this note and that one, pay off my gas card and... YAY! TWENNY BUCKS! Plus ca change...

well he certainly learned from someone... maybe your husband's good with money

Why would you assume OP is a woman (or a gay man)?
184886837272837 32
OPs username actually says "poorman"
Clay_Pidgeon 11
woah woah woah...hold the **** up. I can understand gays fighting for rights and marriage. but why must he assume OP is a gay man. By saying that, you cannot assume that anyone is anything. Hell! people can assume what they want to. I may be overacting but I just don't understand why people must assume that others on the internet gay. I just felt like this had to be said I'm okay with the downvotes
184886837272837 32
Well generally if a guy talked about his husband to me I would assume he's gay... does that make sense?
SininenAave 9
#42. Having a husband would make you either a woman or a gay man. #8 didn't specify. Has nothing to do with gay rights.
184886837272837 32
Yes and that's what #32 said silly billy.
omgimdying 15
sorry guys I didn't pay attention to OPs sex. sorry if I offended anybody
babygirl4855 11
They weren't assuming anything just stating op is a man so he is either married to a women or a man.

Well, kids don't really have any financial troubles to worry about. They can save and save and save.
joselgarciac 9
So here is a solution, have plenty of kids so they can save lots of money, solid logic right? No? Anyone? I'll let myself out then...

There is nothing wrong with that as long as you are using your money the right way
