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?

I got a minimum wage job at Dunkin Donuts and saved just the tips in a coin-jar. In three weeks, working sixteen hours a week, I had more than sixty dollars in change. Get a job, ya schmuck. Also: Where I live, just opening a savings account gets you $25 already in it, jump on it!

instead of sitting on your computer writing fml's about the situation you should be out looking for a job. at the point where you are right now just about any job would be better than what your doing.

I put between 100-400 euro a month on a savings account, its not that hard! Specially if you keep in mind that I usually only work 1 day a week and im 24. (And i need to buy my own schoolbooks etc.)

I agree with #21... People who are "half his age" (14) saying they have more money, are living off their parents. Just because they put money into your account from birthdays and Christmas, doesn't mean you're a financial wizard... That being said, OP needs to get off his ass and do something with his life. If all else fails, join the Military. I did when I was 17 (21 now), and it's helped me a lot. After my deployment, I was able to buy my new bike (cash), get my new car (I financed 7,000, to keep my credit up), a new computer, plus various other things I wanted, and I still had 15,000 to add into my savings account (which I already had a good amount in there). It takes a little work and a little time, but it's not hard to build up your savings.
