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

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I realized that my 5 year old son has more money saved up in his piggy bank than I have in my actual bank account. 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, my sister, who has "borrowed" almost nine hundred dollars from me over the last few months, told me I was pathetic for not having my driver's license yet and that I "wasn't normal". I was saving that money for my driving lessons. FML
Today, a lady I know gave my 3 year-old daughter a little coin purse, saying, "Your mum can put some money in that for you." My daughter responded, "But mummy has no money." I would have laughed, had it not been spot on. 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, I learned that my daughter pocketed the money I'd paid so she could go to college. FML
Today, I took my daughter to a pony ride at the fair. I paid to have her picture taken, and when we got home, I emailed it to my mom. She replied, disgustedly pointing out that the pretty little pony was displaying a pretty little penis. FML
Today, my second-grade daughter asked her teacher how much money she makes. FML
Today, I checked my bank account that I've been saving money in since I was a kid for college. I have $100 left out of the $10,000 I had last month. Apparently my parents thought buying a pool and an HDTV for themselves was more important than my college education. FML
Today, I gave my niece a $100 bill instead of a $10 so she could buy ice cream. When I realized my mistake, she never returned it but thanked me and gave me a big hug. Now I don't have money for gas or food all week. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't you make money through lessons?

Considering her user name is iHateBeingaStudent, I would assume that's her part time job while she's in college. College seems to get really expensive so I believe she doesn't have any money left because of that.

Try getting a student loan

You earn money but if she works there she probably gives the money to the full time trainer and is a working student. But if she owned the barn the money she earns goes right back into hay, stable mix, bedding for the horses. Supplements and things like that.

Raising horses is expensive too, with the hay, the grain, they vet bills, getting shoes put on them, so if she owns the horse and/or barn, I can understand not having a lot of money saved

Even with a job it's not that easy to save up. Pshhh ignorant kids these days^^

Student loans are evil, working is the best way, I wish I didn't need to rely off of student loans cuz the interest and the restrictions they put on you completely sucks. I'll be stuck paying off my student loans till I'm old and wrinkly -_-

That's never how it works with me the money I made was 100% mine. The barn owner made their money through boarding cost.

Time to get a new job
kevsnev 7
Or time to start saving. OP could be spending more than she/he(forgot to look at gender) makes. EDIT: I didn't recognize that she could've been doing this as a part time job for college.

7 - Don't assume that's the case for all students.

I'm a student and I pay for everything myself. My mom helps when she can but times are really hard for everyone
CaptainSlow 2
It seems like she has to fix those things herself, hence the job and the fact that she barely has any leftover money.

#19 you said her food, clothing, lodging, and etc. came from her parents. You assumed that her parents payed for these things. While this may be true, a lot of students are more or less on their own financially with little help from their parents, especially students that come from families with multiple kids.

Wouldn't that be nice. If that was the case I wouldn't be so shit poor though.
desireev 18
Ha! I wish my mom and dad would help me! Most college students, nowadays, have to buy all of their own stuff. Assume makes and ass out of u and me. Remember that!

Don't people pay for horse riding lessons??? You sir need to start charging or charge more.
abbybailey204 19
That's more money than I have too
Clamcreepy 7
I guess she got the last laugh. I'm sure she will be laughing on her way to the bank when she has enough for that pony
ihasbrains 10
The sad part is, horses are super expensive. I could imagine her either finding an untrained, badly maintained pony for free, or a very nice one for around ten thousand dollars.

Get a job!

Did you miss the part where she said she was giving horse riding lessons, which typically are not given for free?

Before starring in friends, Matt LeBlanc (who plays Joey) only had 11 dollars to his name. just saying that anything is possible
davidbdb485 0
Anything is possible, but that doesn't make it likely or even probable. I understand your point, but most of us can't hope for something like that to happen.
