Today, my main source of income is finding money on the ground. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I found $20 on the ground. I'm so broke, this is the first time in 3 months that I've had any disposable income. FML
Today, I found $100 on the ground. My mom is taking $40 because she was there. FML
Today, I found a $100 bill on the ground and was thinking, "I'm so lucky!!" I opened my wallet to find that $300 was missing. I looked back and saw some guy picking up $300. FML
Today, I found out that a street performer makes more money than I do. I have a full time job at the bank. 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, I discovered that the more money I earn, the more my personal belongings break down on me. FML
Today, I saw a dime on the ground. When I bent down to pick it up, my $80 dollar pants ripped. FML
Today, I have -$700 in my current account, $500 from overdraft fees because I spent money they told me I had. I don't get paid till the 15th and when I cash in my paycheck all of it will go to bringing me even. So the $9 I found in my wallet this morning will have to last me untill the 30th. FML
Meritocracy, amirite?
Today, I worked for 4 hours and made $28.00. I have $1500 of bills coming due soon. FML
Today, I spent my afternoon rummaging through old jeans and other pants, due to being broke and needing cash for ramen. FML

Yet you are using a smartphone/iPad/computer to post this....priorities, priorities.

I wasn't aware that because someone is cash broke one day, that completely negates them from luxuries in their life.
Patriots21 14
If you're looking for money in the streets, clearly your net worth is low, zero or you actually owe money. This isn't exactly the best time to indulge in life's luxuries. You need to get back on your feet first.

Could be using a library computer, or their parents computer if they're young. Either way, if you're out of work selling a device that allows you to look and be contacted for jobs isn't exactly the brightest option.

My workplace is always hiring and it often gets to the point where they will literally hire anybody who applies... And that's how I got a job and worked my way up to being a manager in 7 months.

Internet or smartphone is not a luxury my friend! when will you understand?
xygen 19
I have a feeling #37 that they have parents who help pay for it - or are using a computer to post it on the website. This is actually a website, not just an app. The website came before the app.

Its life to most people.
JayVicious 20
most places these days, the only way you can even fill an app out or find out if they are hiring is on the internet ...so it would make it harder to find work without this "luxury" also OP might be using a public computer or friends/family's device etc.

It's not fair to condemn someone who is broke because they have a smartphone. A couple years back I was collecting my change for ramen or skipping meals altogether to pay the bills. And I had an iPhone. Why? Because it was purchased while I was financially secure. Why didn't I sell it to make money? Because I was taking public transportation for one job and it allowed me to track arrival times. It also allowed me to check and respond to emails from both my jobs which was imperative to my productivity and income. And don't even start with computers. A computer is 100% necessary for job hunting, as very few establishments accept paper applications these days. Transportation to and from a library to use their computers is wasting time that could have been spent filling out one more job application that day. How about we all stop to think about the necessities and time required to find a job and keep a job these days rather than viewing useful tools as "luxuries".

youre an idiot. someone who is actually poor would sell their device to feed themselves. you can only go a week without food. if they were really desperate. no matter how important internet or phones are now a days they are STILL A LUXURY. real homeless, broke people have NOTHING at all.

The Internet is a great place to search for jobs, my friend.

Don't put that on your resume.

Try looking for job openings in newspapers or on the web, and apply for employment at nearby restaurants or grocery stores or something. You can make it OP good luck

i'm sure that OP can work at w/e fastfood chain, i mean they hire anybody, right? gotta start with sth, better than literally looking for money around :D
IWishIWasObama 12
Uh actually the economy is so bad that even fast food chains are picky.
xygen 19
Sadly #42 is right. They are very picky.

Newspapers can be handy for looking for jobs
natesmummy 11
Probably can't afford a newspaper
russfml 31
Where I live you can get newspaper with the classified for free, not to mention a bunch of cafes etc have newspapers you can look at for free

Try selling your blood...or other bodily fluids...
MalcolmRodrigues 9
I hope you're asking op to do a blood bank donation, but afaik you don't get paid for that. Maybe patients that need a kidney or something might.
ButtBooger 9
Then he'll have to resort to the other bodily fluids. Something women crave... That's right, butt sweat.

#21 in Germany you actually get money for donating blood, plasma and/or platelets. Since so few people do it, most hospitals etc give you at least a 10€ voucher (for plasma) up to 75€ for platelets.
daemonsparta 16
you do get money fir donating plasma... not much

sell your sperms or your eggs
