Today, I looked at my bank balance. It read $1.23. That's higher than it usually is. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got tipped more than I have in my bank account. It was $5. FML
Today, I stepped on the scale and realized that I weigh more than the amount of money that I have in my bank account. FML
Today, I told my mom I had 73 cents in my checking account. She gave me a penny and told me I had 74 cents and it was even now. Thanks mom. FML
Today, I found out my bank charged me $50 for not having any money. Way to go bank, way to go. FML
Today, I was overdrawn $15 at the bank. I paid in my last $80 in cash, only for them to inform me that I've been slapped with $90 in overdraft fees. FML
Today, I have -$700 in my current account, $500 from overdraft fees because I spent money they told me I had. I don't get paid till the 15th and when I cash in my paycheck all of it will go to bringing me even. So the $9 I found in my wallet this morning will have to last me untill the 30th. FML
Today, I found $20 on the ground. I'm so broke, this is the first time in 3 months that I've had any disposable income. FML
Today, in an attempt to support and encourage my efforts in getting a new job, my boyfriend said, "Imagine having triple what's in your bank account right now!" Triple what's in my bank account right now would be exactly $38.94. FML
Today, I excitedly went to check this week's paycheck, only to see that I only received $9.00. This isn't a mistake, this is really what I make. FML
Today, I finally got a raise after years of hard work! Excited, I went on a shopping spree, but as I checked the latest prices, it turns out that my extra income barely covers the increase in my grocery bill. Thanks, inflation. FML

This post reminds me to appreciate everything I'm fortunate enough to have. Hang in there OP, I wish there was a way I could help you

-2.9% GDP.. lowest sincr 2008 recession in the United States, and believe me, those numbers affect the world economies as well.. Fortunately, private industry wont pay heed to Federal Oversight that hinders business, theyll just relocate.. thus the imvisible hamd of prosperity will continue, regardless of government influence..

Money management needs to be a priority in your life; you can't live without backup money to fall on invade of emergency, brah.
BSnapZ 21
You had me until "brah". Seriously, people are still saying that?
stevenN659 24
Last i heard a Bra was an inanimate object that held womens breasts. But, maybe im just not hipster enough to know the difference.

Regardless of budgeting some people (myself included) have to live paycheck to paycheck because of their crappy jobs. No amount of budgeting is going to make my rent any cheaper or my paycheck any higher. Its five days until payday and I've got 32 cents to my name, and nothing could have changed that.

Why assume that OP doesn't manage their money? For all you know they paid all of their bills and had that left afterwards....
mintypoison 22
This isn't poor money management. This is living paycheck to paycheck on a crap job that pays for shit. This is my weekly life thanks to bills every check and only getting paid twice a month....

thomcmoore 23
One does not simply do something Obama.
Crofty92 17
Hasn't Obama bailed you out from his own pocket yet? He did for me.

#5. You're. How about you help yourself first?
spluver0005 17
It shouldn't be up to the government to help every person who's having hard times. It's not exactly like the US has extra money to spare
underthesea12 24
Obama can't help this guy... he is Canadian

Why is everything always blamed on the government? God people are lazy.
PresidentNorth 16
Just to be fair our money has no value. Just what the government tells us. Thank you fiat system.

That's 60p in the UK, wow a double cheeseburger here is about £1.69 ($2.88)
PenguinBitch 44
Better quality, higher price.
Crofty92 17
Just saying you can't get anything for 60p

Junior Chickens are really cheep!

It can't be all bad then. You've got more than enough for an Arizona iced tea. Can never go wrong with those. Unless you're in a hoodie.

You can never go wrong with a pack of Skittles either.

A bird with a bush is worth two hands?

Man being broke really bites; you get excited about finding a dollar, even fifty cents is like a 50% increase in your wealth. You turn out all your pockets and start looking for those coins of loose change at the back of drawers and in couch seats. Been there brother, stay strong.
