Today, I got my paycheck. I was really excited since I've been broke for the last two weeks. On my way home, I got pulled over and got a ticket for expired tags. The $90 for new tags plus $135 for the citation will leave me with enough to buy a burger. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got called into work and I was really excited to earn some extra money. One block from getting there I get pulled over. Apparently my tags were expired, and there goes half a week's pay. FML
Today, I got a $200 bonus at work and was super excited about getting a plane ticket to see my family. On the way back from work I got a $300 speeding ticket. FML
Today, I got pulled over by a cop and got slammed with a ticket for expired tabs on my motorcycle. The DMV was literally across the street. I was heading there to get new tabs. FML
Today, I felt really depressed so I decided to go to McDonald's, get a sundae and cheer myself up. I got pulled over by the cops on the way, and was given a ticket for an expired registration. McDonald's was closed. FML
Today, I finally got my paycheck from working at my minimum wage job for the last three months. I was delighted when I saw it was worth $846. On my way to cash it, I destroyed my car's suspension. It's going to cost almost $800 to fix. FML
Today, I went downtown to pay my speeding ticket. After standing in line and arguing with a rude woman behind the desk, I get back to my car only to find an expired meter and a parking ticket. I got a ticket while paying my ticket. FML
Today, after finding $50 on the sidewalk this morning and feeling like the luckiest person alive, I got a parking ticket for $60. FML
Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket. I wrote a check, and on the way to deposit my fine, I got another one. I put both fines in a box down town, and I turned around to see a cop putting a parking ticket under my wind-shield wiper. FML
Today, I was pulled over and given a ticket for a broken tail light. On the way to the mechanic. To get my tail light fixed. FML

Maybe renew your tags on time like a responsible adult and this won't happen.

I don't see why there's so many YDIS. obviously if you were broke, you didnt have the money for new tags. ugh silly dumb people

But if OP had budgeted their money and paid on time they would have had more than half their paycheck left over.

Yes because you can so choose not to eat anything for a week. For a college student you're pretty dumb.

For real, I'm sorry but some people need food to survive. and even if they "budget correctly" Op only got SO MUCH on their paycheck. Maybe they have BILLS to pay? that would take up probably the majority of their already small paycheck. I've worked at a place where I got super small pay. no matter how well you budget you really don't have any money for anything extra, say like, car tags

1. OP knew that license plates need to be renewed ahead of time. If she put aside...say, $2 each pay period she'll have enough saved to buy her tags. 2. For the price of a burger you can get a half pound of deli meat, a loaf of bread and some fruit and that can be your lunch for the next week. The grocery prices at Wal-Mart are ridiculously low. And I live in the city so I'm not basing price estimates on rural prices. No one said anything about OP starving herself for a week but there's no need to eat out either.

Time to get a better job, or request more hours, or get a second job. I barely make over minimum wage and make more than that.

Make sure you buy some gas first or it may be a long walk home.

I'd like to say that you deserve it, but I'm totally in the same boat right now of not having any money, so I understand how much your life sucks. Go to court over it, and you'll probably get the ticket dropped as long as you bought the stickers quickly, and explain that you don't have money right now.
