Today, I went out to eat with a friend. I was supposed to be paying, but when I tried to, there wasn't enough money in my bank account. She didn't have money with her either. FML

I'm afraid that's all on you. with the banking apps available now you should have checked yours before going out if you knew your funds were getting low (which you should have known). ydi my dear.

Unfortunately the culture we live in promotes spending we cannot afford this time of year. It's still up to us if we make plans we cannot actually afford, but OP is not alone in this sort of situation... I can remember when I was struggling to pay my bills and sometimes my credit card was at risk of being declined. But there are apps and websites from your bank or credit card that let you know your balance and available credit limit 24/7. If you know you are close to zero balance, it's just foolish to make plans you cannot afford... OP, when you don't want to check your balance in your bank is exactly when you really need to do that... I hope you were somehow able to pay your bill between the two of you.
