Today, I realized that the closest thing I have to a savings account is the cup on my dresser with coins in it. I counted it, $17.34. That is my savings. I'm 28. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I’m starting my 28th year with 28 cents on my bank account. FML
Today, I realized that my 5 year old son has more money saved up in his piggy bank than I have in my actual bank account. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML
Today, I did the math: if I wiped out my savings account, the joint account I have with my husband, as well as the savings accounts I started for nieces and nephews to pay for student loans, I would only owe $41,000 more. FML
Today, I looked at my bank balance. It read $1.23. That's higher than it usually is. FML
Today, I checked my bank account that I've been saving money in since I was a kid for college. I have $100 left out of the $10,000 I had last month. Apparently my parents thought buying a pool and an HDTV for themselves was more important than my college education. 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, my dad came home from Vegas. Today, my college savings account is down by $64,000. FML
Today, a little girl I give horse-riding lessons to told me she had saved up $8.00 for her own pony. I laughed and thought how cute she was, then realized that was more than I have in my own savings account. FML
Today, I told my mom I had 73 cents in my checking account. She gave me a penny and told me I had 74 cents and it was even now. Thanks mom. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

bananzas your parents pay for a lot more than your food and clothes, how about utilities, the roof over your head? Plus any supplies you need for lawn mowing and car cleaning. You don't own your own business, get real, you do some yard work. Anyways I'm not gonna click FYL or YDI cuz he could just be some lazy bum or he could have just been hit with some bills that took any savings he did have.

yeah they do pay for housing and utilities, but I own 100% of my business, and pay for all expenses, i have to give my parents $100 per month to cover electricity and water used by car cleaning.

i don't see how having $17.34 in change makes someone a loser or lazy or unemployed. do you know how many people in this world live pay check to pay check? millions. just because we (yeah, i'm one of the "poor losers"!) don't have thousands of dollars in our bank accounts like apparently all of you do, doesn't make us lazy. most of us bust our asses to pay our bills. it really pisses me off when i hear someone tell someone to get a job and stop complaining they are poor. most of us DO have jobs, just so you know. i'm sorry we can't all be like you and live the glamorous life.

I've had a savings account since I was about 6. If you've never taken the time to create one, you totally deserved this.

#21 soooo true. Love that you pointed it out!! #37 the whole point of the web site is to complain about situations/you life being shit! Wouldn't be much of an fml site if it said "today, was a great day. I have a wonderful life. FML."

#10 "you have 2000 in savings" hahaha that's a month of bills! Hahaha my god you won't survive! I looooove all the kiddies on here with no bills talking about saving when they have absolutely no idea what the cost of living is. Yeah easy to save when your only financial burden is whether or not to buy a wii! So hilarious. And the kiddie with 8k a year....you would be living in a box if you had rent to pay.

...really? i put any change i had in a can for 2-3 weeks and had $20, and i don't even have a job. When you do get money, if someone asks to borrow it, just say no until they offer to pay more in return, I do that all the time and always have money to do something.
