Money: Today, I realized that the closest thing I have to a savings...

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

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

Thievery

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, 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

OP could have a job...he never mentioned not having one. It is possible to have a job and not have anything saved. Granted its not a great way to make a good living, but let's not assume that the OP is a slob that does nothing to earn money.

Life happens. Learn from this and move on. Pathetic is if you continue like this and don't make any changes. Everyone goes through this phase at some point in their lives. It's thought but you'll make it through. Make a plan. Talk to your bank and start saving. Baby steps.
