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?

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

Stories like this are what make me hope that when I lose money, it's found by somebody who needs it. Chin up, OP. You'll be alright.

You know, Charlie Bucket bought some candy bars with money he found on the ground and we know how that turned out
