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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

How is this an FML? "Today, I found $20 on the ground…FML" The quality of FML's is declining…

Instead of whining or complaining about your financial situation, work at improving it. If you're going through hell, don't stop. Continue.

Perhaps they can't because the full time minimum wage job they're working prevents them from affording the funds to invest in an education which they don't have time for because they're working a full time minimum wage job which they obviously need to make the bills. And they can't exactly quit either because the anemic safety net that's been consistently chewed away at by the ignorant and the uncaring isn't enough to support them. They might even be making too much money to qualify despite the fact that they clearly aren't making enough to actually live on. Welcome to America.

Thats a real good point. Instead of being focused on getting a job you are on FML wasting your life. At least you can pay part of your phone bill now huh.

How do you know OP doesn't have a job? Many people on minimum wage use their money to pay bills, rent, and food. They usually don't have enough for a treat.

So many judgmental people already, yet I bet they would all be thrilled to find money on the ground. It's so easy to judge when you're not in as bad of a spot, isn't it? Instead of mocking the OP for "wasting time" on FML, realize you're the one spending the time to type an unnecessarily rude comment instead of doing something more productive with your own time.
