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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least that balance is in the black.

At least it's a positive number. Could be worse.

Actually #65 there is plenty of work out there, you just have to put in effort, I have just left school not even two weeks ago, have had one job interview and got the job already, you just have to accept a maybe more tedious job and work your way up XD

Depending on where you are, there is no work. I had to leave Ontario and go to Alberta for the summer because no where was hiring, even at the crappy retail level. Most of my friends ended up moving for the summer because there's no work where we go to university. Just because you lucked out and were able to find a job doesn't mean there's easily available work everywhere for everyone.

I think you forgot the "k" behind it :D

I might be assuming too much but get a job yo. If you already have one maybe look into a savings account where you can put, say 80% of your pay away and have the rest for spending. I've been there before, but more often than not we put ourselves in those situations.

Damn, wish I earned enough that I could afford to put 80% of my income straight into savings!
nlm92 15
It doesn't have to be 80. Any amount at all adds up over time

Damn, wish I earned enough that I could afford to have savings! Ever think that there's nothing left? The only people those plans work for are teenagers living with mom and dad who pay no bills and don't have any financial responsibilities.

When you're at a certain income level, then saving or not becomes a choice. I have a college degree and a fairly well-paid job, share a house with friends and generally don't spend much, so that I can save a lot of money for future projects (but by no means 80% of my income!). People who are in a situation like me, decide to spend their money on parties and expensive clothes, and then complain that they're broke, do put themselves in that situation. But unless you know that OP has a well-paid job and spends his money on things he doesn't need, you have NO right whatsoever to judge him. People who have to work hard every day to barely make a living have my greatest respect, that's definitely not an easy life.
