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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, I'm so broke that I had to call in sick to work because I couldn't afford to pay my bus fare. FML
Today, I was so broke, I couldn't come up with enough change to pay the parking meter at my job. FML
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
Today, for breakfast, I made a butter sandwich. I'm that broke. FML
Today, I was so broke that I paid for a $0.28 candy bar with my credit card. FML
Today, I'm running so fucking low on money, I have to go to the supermarket to eat free bites of ham, cheese and whatever they have on their aisles for breakfast. FML
Today, after already having a terrible day, I went to Starbucks for an espresso. Being nice, I put the last dollar I had in my wallet in their tip jar. While paying for my drink, my card was denied for insufficient funds. The world hates me. FML
Today, I had to empty out my coin jar to pay for gas. Trying to be considerate, I only brought quarters, but the cashier refused to take it because they didn't want to count out my $10. I don't know how I'll get to work today. FML
Today, I was hungry and I was trying to buy the cheapest burger at Wendy's, but I'm so broke that I had to call my friends to lend me some money. Ugh. FML

Time for a change. I bet you'd have more money if you didn't buy coffee everyday.

Perhaps if you didn't buy so many cups of coffee, you could afford your own $10 coffee machine and coffee beans. That way you can make your own coffee for a few pennies a cup, and I guarantee you it's 100x better than that swill they sell at Starbucks.

It could be worse you could be scrounging up money to just eat something tonight

You'd have a lot more money if you knew how to buy the important things first. Coffee is $1-3 a cup depending on the size.

Strippers and prostitutes have gotten expensive there too?

Maybe if you stopped wasting money on cafe coffee, you wouldn't be scrounging for dimes

My job gives out free coffee (and paid for a decent brew).

Tea is better tasting, better for you and much cheaper. Just saying...

Been there, not for coffee but for gas. I feel your pain hope it gets better for you.

Afaik: 1. There's always some crap you can sell or pawn off. 2. There's always demand for manual labor. I mean, if you want to eat, you don't really care what job to take. 3. Drinking plain water is cheaper. Water + bread + microwaved potatoes should be also cheap. 4. If you still have electricity and internet access, that's not the rock bottom yet.
