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?

Well, not really... A savings account at least has interest (albeit not much unless you have like 50,000+). Otherwise it's just another regular "account". If you have something to show for it at least, then good for you. If not, then yeah, FYL.

I hate the everyone is saying, "get a job." Odds are, you have a job. Having a job doesn't change the fact that you need to pay rent/mortgage bills every month, along with insurance, electric, and phone bills. Half the people here are kids like #10, saying, "I'm half your age and have more than that." Yes, little 14-year-old, you probably get a nice allowance and your parents set you up a bank account when you were little. How convenient. Thank you #21--I completely agree.

35: I don't have a job and I have almost 2000 dollars in my savings account. You save up all the money u get for ur birthday and other holidays and when ur 18, u get social security. It's not that hard to get a lot of money without having a job. OP: even tho I just said u can have a lot of money without a job, u need to get one bcuz 1) u don't save the money u somehow manage to get and 2) ur 28 yrs old-u should have a job at that age.

Yeah, I agree with #37 AND #38. Because you aren't being financially responsible, you go here to post about it? Congratulations. I hope things work out for you, though. Posting on here probably opened your eyes a bit. (sarcasm) Holy crap, #37 and #38 are the same person! o.O (/sarcasm)

To all you people that say get a job etc (the 16 year old with $600 saved up for retirment) its not that we dont have jobs. I have one, and I have a little savings account. It only has maybe $900 in it. Mostly because im $20000 in the hole with student loans, I pay rent, I have car payments, as well as credit cards that I need to pay. So when you become of age and stop living under your parents roof, when you actually have to pay for shit like groceries, rent and utilities, good luck saving shit.
