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

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

You should've opened a savings account. When the interest was higher I received at least that much a month and I'm a 20 y.o. student (majoring in accounting.)

#3, if you're going to tell someone they're an idiot, at least learn some very basic grammar. OP, you should probably open a savings account; I have one and I haven't had a job yet (I'm a student) and I've got pretty much by just keeping my money in. Anyway, FYL... with this economy it can get that bad even if you try hard, sometimes.

Everything that I wanted to say has been pretty much said already. All these kids telling how they have $200 savings. How would those $200 last if you didn't live at your parents' place, paid for your rent, food, clothes, internet, water and electricity (and so on)? Not even a week. #90, get a life. You live at your parents and don't pay for anything.

$10 or 10% whichever is greater out of every check, straight to the bank. I paid the down on my first car when I was 22 and my first house when I was 30 by doin' that. It's never too late to start saving. Good luck.

Where does it say that this person doesn't have a job ??? they might have a job but spend all their money cause they can't help themselves. But it is a good thing that you have realised that you don't have any savings, you are 28 that's young start saving now and you will have pretty pennies for when you retire.

Hey, that's better than mine. My hubby's been out of work for 5 months and I just counted out our change to buy gas. It was like $12. I swear if he doesn't get another job soon I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown. He won't take care of the kids and I can't make enough to pay for child care, so there's nothing I can do. And to #15? Enjoy it while you can. I had savings at 16 too. That was a husband and two kids ago. You're a moron.
