Today, I'm so broke that I got buyer's remorse after buying a $2 bottle of pancake syrup. FML

Today, I'm so broke that I had a money nightmare. I'd accidentally purchased a single potato for exactly $22 and it was non-refundable. FML

Today, I'm so poor that I've been scrounging around my house all day trying to find quarters and dimes so that I can buy myself a cup of coffee tomorrow. FML

Today, I realized I have finally turned into my mother when I got excited about using so many coupons that I only paid 70 cents for $14 worth of groceries. I need a life. FML

Broke as ever
Today, I've been broke for so long that I felt a pang of envy when a character in a movie said that that they'd bought a tiny cup from a gift shop. FML

Strung out
Today, I realised just how caffeine dependent I am. I didn't have time for my morning coffee, work is out of milk, and I only have $1.30 in my bank account, so I couldn't buy a coffee. Today has been a struggle. FML

You should feel bad, Moneybags, you can easily steal bottles of syrup from IHOP for free anytime. Sit in the booth, pocket all the syrup you want, put a toy cell phone up to your ear and yell, "I'm coming to the hospital right away!" There's a reason rich people are rich . . . they know tricks like that.

Everyone had down times where money is tight. I guarantee one day you can afford any syrup you want if you work and save.

If you can barely afford $2, where do u get the money for internet (or if free wifi) or a device to use the internet to post on FML?...

If you're that broke why do you have a smart phone. You should be really thinking about your expences

Or he posted from a public computer? Or like a lot of people, he has it on a binding contract? Just cause he doesn't have much disposable income, doesn't mean he isn't paying the bills fully.
