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

Libertarian nightmare
Today, when I checked on my last payroll, I realized that I pay more in taxes than I do in house bills. FML

Today, I had to take a taxi to work, because I was pressed for time, and didn't have a ride there. When I got to work, I paid the cab driver, and realized I had spent more money on the cab than I was going to make at work. FML

Interesting dilemma
Today, I learned that as much as I try to save my money, it always just slips through my fingers. After rent, I got paid $280 yesterday, $85 went out on my gym membership, $95 went out on my internet, $125 went out on my Hello Fresh. I have to choose between half a tank of petrol or breakfast/lunch for the week. FML

Today, after 6 months of training and going to the gym every day, I realized that the only thing I've lost is $300 worth of gas. FML

Pay a living wage
Today, I live in a world where I work 50 hours a week, and yet after paying all necessary bills, eating one meal a day, and only drinking water from the tap, I am £130 pounds poorer than last week, all because I had to use my credit card and increase my debt to buy petrol and pay the gas bill. FML

Today, I got a call from a job I had applied for. Everything went great until I realized I had applied to the wrong location, across town. I'm so broke, I went to the interview anyway. It will cost me more to pay for the gas to drive there to work, than what I will actually make. FML

Cost of living crisis
Today, I did my budget. I have a good job, make decent money, and work full time, but without including any flexible spending items like groceries, I make $32 less than my bills each month. FML

Today, I realized that my father's weekly unemployment check is more than my bi-weekly pay check. My full time job pays less than my father's unemployment. FML

Money for whining

Today, I pulled into the gas station to fill up only to realize I had forgot my wallet. By the time I went home, got it, and came back, the price had gone up eleven cents. FML

If you can, find a cheaper way to travel to work, or car pool with someone. At least you have a job so that's a start.

So basically you'd be better off not working at all, in that case, sit back and relax?

Go buy a $40,000 Nissan Leaf. At least your spending on gasoline will go to zero.

Assuming there are ample charging stations situated around her part of Mexico. As a former Nissan salesman I can say it's not very likely in Mexico.

Forget peanuts, it's pesos you don't want to be paid in.

Time to get a new job or relocate.

Last time I filled my truck from empty, it was something like $148 I don't know what kind of car you drive. But if you don't have much money to replace it. See if one of your neighbors has an old beater you could make payments on.
