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

i know how you feel OP.. Readers ya'll dont know his situation for why OP is broke, maybe OP is in the same shoes as I am. It's hard to raise a child, provide food, a roof and other needs in this economy. I have a good job and still struggle with money. OP keep your head up it will get better

Hi OP, it's ok. There was a time when I had equivalent to $0.12 in my bank account on which I've survived for the better part of a month. Things will be better and do remember that happiness comes when you don't give a damn about your bank balance. Cheers and be positive! :)

Do enlighten me to how you spread out 12 cents. There's a big difference in surviving on little amounts of money, and spending 800$ in groceries and then only having 12 cents for the rest of the month. One leaves you ****** and hungry, the other has you perfectly set .

Thanks Obama!

Seriously? Obama had nothing to do with this. The economy started tanking before he took office. Why does everyone take the easy way out?
