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.

That happened to me before. It was horrible but he eventually listened to me. :) I hope they listen to you.

You can try carpooling, quit, or ask for a raise :)

I also had the same realisation at one job. I quit very shortly after. One of the best decision I've made haha.

Is it a job that you need for experience? If not hopefully you can find a better closer job.
