Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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.

Are you driving a freakin panzer tank 10 miles a day? Seriously how is your gas cost higher than your pay

Petrol too expensive for you? Over here it is £1.40 a litre, so put that in your pipe and smoke it!

I know I sound incredibly stupid. But is that good or bad? I'm more used to US currency and gallons.

I'm pretty sure that's more expensive than gas in the States...

It's like 10$ a gallon

It is a hell of a lot more expensive in the UK yes, but it's all relative, we don't have to typically travel as far to get to work as they do across the pond and inflation and job wages included it works out to be a similar cost in the States and possibly worse of in Mexico as the standard of living is not quite as high along with lower wages.

Go...and find yourself the nearest bus station.

if you're only realizing that after a while, I think your job is paying you too much

The world would be so much better if we all drove mopeds. Seriously, you can get one new for about $800, they get 80 miles per gallon, and if the engine is 50cc or under then you don't have to insure it or get a motorcycle license.

And that is why I do not go to the office anymore and work from home.

This is my biggest fear for when I get my first job. FYL OP.

that's why you pick a job that you don't have to commute so damn far. You deserve it for being a moron.
