Money: Today, uncertain of having a job next month or being able to...

Today, uncertain of having a job next month or being able to pay rent, I'm filling out tens of online surveys a day for gift cards to McDonald's, to buy hamburgers that I can freeze so I will have food for the coming months. FML

Mismanagement

Today, my parents accidentally bounced some checks through a miscommunication. They now owe the bank $700 and can't afford groceries, which means we're relying on me, a 17-year-old girl who works at McDonald's 2 days a week, to get us by for the next few weeks. FML

Today, working at McDonald’s, I get lunch money on top of my salary. Well, actually I don’t *get* the money, I can eat the money. No freestyling though, only items that are actually on the menu. I guess my health and my figure won’t be lovin' it. FML

Today, I’m so hungry. My parents only get food for my sister and I’ve been surviving on cheese sticks for the past week. I only have one left. I don’t get paid until next week. I’m so scared I’m gonna faint at the wheel instead of at home, where I’m usually able to sit down and get some water before I do. FML

Today, I had to spend all of my money on textbooks even though my refrigerator is empty. Starving and frustrated, I called home to ask for money for groceries. My mom told me I could afford to skip a few meals. FML

Today, my Visa card randomly stopped working. I have no other way of getting money or paying for anything. I was going to buy next week's food tomorrow, but I guess I'll just starve instead. FML

Hangry

Today, I'm running so fucking low on money, I have to go to the supermarket to eat free bites of ham, cheese and whatever they have on their aisles for breakfast. FML

Today, it has been 57 hours since I have last had food. The fridge is empty. The freezer is empty. The pantry is empty. Even my bank account is empty because my pay has been delayed. Again. FML

Today, my boss declared total bankruptcy of the company and I lost my job. The good news is my coworkers and I all received McDonald's 10%-off coupons. They expired in 2003. FML

Today, I got a badly-needed job at a local discount store. After being hired, I found out I'm to help with the soon-to-begin store closing sale, and I'll be jobless again after 3 months. FML

Today, as a single, 24-year old college graduate working temp jobs outside his field, the only thing I look forward to in my day is what I get to eat for dinner. FML

Maybe spend that time applying for jobs, instead of online surveys?

Damn... You've literally hit rock bottom... Maybe you should apply for a job there instead of gift cards?!?

I'm so sorry OP. I feel your pain. It has been three days since I had my last meal. I spend every extra minute searching for a job and have even applied at all of the fast food places here. Good luck to you.

So you're saying OP should spend money on false hope and a less than slim chance of fortune? You literally have a better chance of dying on your way to buy the ticket than you do at winning.

Somebody's going to win. Might as well be OP.

Here's a fun fact: You're more likely to die on the way to buying your lottery ticket than you are of winning.

Yeah, how about filling out job applications? At least you could get some real food, then.

You can't freeze those burgers, they have already been frozen before. You'll probably be back with FML's about food poisoning.

I am a bit confused OP. Why do you have to use all of the gift card at once and freeze the burgers? The gift cards for McDonald's are reusable, so why not buy the food daily and eat it fresh instead of eating reheated, nasty tasting burgers?
