Money and Holidays: Today, I canceled my ATM card, because it had been lost. Then...

Today, I canceled my ATM card, because it had been lost. Then I found it. Then I found out I can't reactivate it, because I asked for a replacement card. I'm from CA, and I'm in Mexico with only 20 bucks. FML

Today, I received my replacement debit card in the mail after losing my previous one. I've already lost my new one. FML

Today, I went to an ATM to see how much money I had in my account. I put the card in. It never gave it back. FML

Today, I ran out of cash. The nearest ATM to my house is over a half hour away by foot. After walking all the way there under the blistering heat of the sun, I realized I'd left my card back at home. FML

Today, as soon as I put my card into an ATM, the words "Out of Order" popped up and it would not return my card. Since I was at the bank, I got a free replacement. Trying to draw money again the second machine did the same thing and a third card costs more than what I have in my account. FML

Today, my wallet got stolen. I don't have a photo ID to get a temporary debit card, and since I don't have a debit card, I can't go to the DMV to get a new license. FML

Today, I finally picked up my new bank card after my old one was stolen. It took the bank six weeks and five separate orders to figure it out, on top of which they've charged me a rush fee. FML

Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. FML

Today, I hid my credit card from myself so I wouldn't use it. Now I can't find it. FML

Today, I received a new debit card, so I cut the old one into pieces. I then picked up my remaining card, and realized I'd cut up the wrong one. FML

Today, my Visa card randomly stopped working. I have no other way of getting money or paying for anything. I was going to buy next week's food tomorrow, but I guess I'll just starve instead. FML

Doesn't it take like 2 bucks to cross the border? Just go back and hitch home, or nip/buy a bike and ride.

As some people stated before, with those 20 bucks (246 pesos aprox) you can: pay 3 pesos for Metro ticket to downtown or "central de abastos", buy a bag of lollypops on some candy store for 60 pesos, another Metro ticket to Coyoacan, sell your lollypops at 3 pesos each stating your current situation (some people will give you more than 3 pesos, we mexicans are good people) at the end of the day you will have like 500 pesos (more or less), in coyoacan there are some cheap hostels (for foreign students) and they will cost like 250 pesos each night, you can then spent the rest but save 60 pesos, next day repeat! Yeah some people do their livings that way...

i give you a simple solution, do some sort of a crime, the police will deport you back to USA on their own expenses.
