Today, I'm so broke that I got buyer's remorse after buying a $2 bottle of pancake syrup. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I'm so broke that I had a money nightmare. I'd accidentally purchased a single potato for exactly $22 and it was non-refundable. 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 realized I have finally turned into my mother when I got excited about using so many coupons that I only paid 70 cents for $14 worth of groceries. I need a life. FML

Broke as ever
Today, I've been broke for so long that I felt a pang of envy when a character in a movie said that that they'd bought a tiny cup from a gift shop. FML

Strung out
Today, I realised just how caffeine dependent I am. I didn't have time for my morning coffee, work is out of milk, and I only have $1.30 in my bank account, so I couldn't buy a coffee. Today has been a struggle. FML

Hey, at least you had 2 bucks for pancake syrup!

Make syrup. Water and sugar, dash of flavoring. Simple.

You need to find the appropriate heat. No telling where to get flavoring you want. Have to figure out the right consistency… Not simple.

I have to say. YDI.. Don't like being broke? Get another job. Even at min. wage it'll give you a little extra money.

Oh yeah, it's really that easy, just walk down the street to the nearest store and get hired. Around where I live, every job is taken. It's near impossible to get a job. Even if they are hiring, you're bloody freaking lucky if you do get hired out of the other bajillion people unemployed and looking for jobs (or employed and looking for extra cash).

2 dollars? Lucky. I live in Canada and syrup is still like 15$ for a litre.

OP probably bought "butter syrup" or something, just sugar, not real syrup.

Also, I think it's safe to assume OP didn't buy a liter of it.
