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?

I have a job and try to save as much as possible but by the time I get paid next time I normally only have a few dollars left. Apparantly everyone here has a job that's enough to pay every bill one could possibly have, pay for gas, food, and still has money extra left over. Oh wait, you guys probably don't have any bills whatsoever and because of that you're able to save money. Must be farking nice.

The original post is too vague to click "fyi" or "ydi." What if (s)he just finished college, and has a job, but has monthly expenses that include student loan payments, rent, car payment/insurance, electric, cable, phone, internet, food, and stuff such as that? In that case ftheop'sl. Or (s)he could just be an unemployed reject living in his/her parent's basement who has no incentive to improve his/her life. In that case, (s)hedi.

As for the elitist kids who are coming on here, and saying that they have more money than the op, I suggest you stfu. Now I am only 18 myself, but I am not going to be a condescending idiot because I am in a living condition(living with parents with almost no bills to pay, food to buy, etc.) which allows me to save any money I make. I know for a fact that I, and any of the idiot kids who posted before this comment, had to live on our own and pay our own way, we would be much much poorer than the original poster in a New York minute.

#21 you're right. Little miss/mr fourteen year old boasting about their vast savings doesn't have to fork out for utility bills every month and chances are mummy and daddy buy their food. anyway, I'd just suggest you open a savings account with interest, so you'll have a bit more than you do. you could also look for another job to tide you over.
