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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found a $100 bill on the ground and was thinking, "I'm so lucky!!" I opened my wallet to find that $300 was missing. I looked back and saw some guy picking up $300. FML
Today, I found $100 on the ground. My mom is taking $40 because she was there. FML
Today, I found $20 in an old jacket and celebrated by buying myself a fancy lunch (well, Burger King, but that just goes to show how well I'm doing in this economy). When I got home, I realized I'd left my wallet at the restaurant while paying with the $20. FML
Today, I found a $10 bill on the ground. I got so excited and felt like I was the richest person alive. That was, until the wind blew it out of my hand, never to be seen again. FML
Today, I was cleaning my apartment when I found a €20 note underneath the sofa cushion. I was pretty happy until I remembered I'd lost €20 a few days earlier and spent an hour looking for it. I'd finally found my own money and felt lucky about it. FML
Today, my main source of income is finding money on the ground. 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 saw a dime on the ground. When I bent down to pick it up, my $80 dollar pants ripped. 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 looked at my bank balance. It read $1.23. That's higher than it usually is. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Hey, why are you complaining? Free $20!

Aww, isn't that a little unsympathetic? No one can work 24/7...in fact, I believe periods of rest and relaxation here and there will generally help keep you happier and more productive. There are many reasons why OP might have a computer even though he's poor (ie: he is a student) and I think everyone deserves the occasional break without that invalidating their problems :P

Maybe you should spend less time on a computer or mobile device and go get a sustainable income

I'd like to know where you go the information to accuse OP of spending so much time online?

It's pretty much impossible to get a job that has you as a declared and legal employee without a computer.

Maybe he got his phone for free. Maybe he is using an old computer.

Good things come in threes . Maybe this is the start of a lucky spell. Keep smiling, it'll get better.

I don't see how this is an FML, you found money. It sucks that you are low on funds though

Fun fact: disposable income is income after taxes.

If finding a penny is lucky, twenty bucks must be magical! Cheer up, OP!

Invest it in something secure, like a local music band. They'll probably be the next One Direction and bingo! You're a millionaire.

$20 could buy you enough Taco Bell to dispose an entire room of people after the sharts you'll rip. Remember , aim for the wall.
