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?

Don't worry. I'm sure most of the smug 'i'm younger than you' kids will be debt ridden by the time they're your age and eligible to get a credit card/personal loan etc. ps. saving obviously turns people into bizzarely angry self rigtheous freaks anyway. Kind of weird.

23 - $240,000. But I have come to realize life really isn't about money. If I could go back in time, I would choose to *** the money and party my ass off lol. And education is useless. I kinda wish I went to a IT college rather than a fkn University. Waste 2 extra years. LAME. LAME @#$@#$ASKJFLASKJFL YOU SEE MY ANGER?!?!@!#! MONEY !J@# ARGGGHHHH NOT WORTH IT - LIVE UR LIFE TO DA MAX PARTTEEHHHHH

I'm 18 and have about 700$ saved up - which is no accomplishment since I'll need six times that amount between now and graduation in 3 years (assuming I keep my scholarship). The only thing I'm proud of is not being in debt. I'd say, OP, if you've managed to pay off/not incur debt so far then you should be happy. And BTW before anyone comments on me being one of those teenagers whose parents pay for everything, my dad may pay my cellphone bill but I've been living on my own since July.

if you have a job minus 10 percent out of your check and put it in a savings account. then slowly increase the percent.
