Money: Today, I went to the bank to make a withdrawal in order to celebrate...

Today, I went to the bank to make a withdrawal in order to celebrate my last day here in Italy with my friends. Apparently I'm overdrawn by 187 dollars so I'm eating nothing but leftover stale crackers to survive until I get free plane food on my way back home. FML

Today, after two weeks of living on plain pasta, I finally got my paycheck and was excited that I'd get real food, and ride the subway instead of exhausting my malnourished body with the two-hour walk to work. My surname was misspelt on the check; the bank is holding it for ten days. FML

Crackers

Today, my company is doing so bad that I had to take down my symbolic first dollar so that I could buy a roll of crackers for dinner. 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

Today, I withdrew €40 at the ATM to pay for dinner later tonight. It wasn't until I went to pay for it that I realized I'd taken the receipt, but left the cash in the ATM. FML

Today, I was so broke and hungry that I went to Olive Garden and faked being stood up, just so I could eat their breadsticks. FML

Today, I was overdrawn $15 at the bank. I paid in my last $80 in cash, only for them to inform me that I've been slapped with $90 in overdraft fees. FML

Today, after calling my bank to see where my paycheck was, and waiting on hold for my entire lunch break, my boss told me she forgot to submit my deposit. I was relying on that money to pay for lunch today as I used all I had for bills. Looks like I eat tomorrow. FML

Today, I went to have a drink with my friend. On the way I withdrew 20 bucks and when I arrived at the bar I realised I had taken my credit card but not the banknote. 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'm running so fucking low on money, I have to go to the supermarket to eat free bites of ham, cheese and whatever they have on their aisles for breakfast. FML

Leftover stale crackers to *survive*? Oh, honey--are you sure you'll make it? Maybe you should call the embassy.

Wow, some friends you have if the only way you can have fun is by spending money, so FYL. On the other hand, YDI for not keeping better track of your finances. Oh well, just be happy that you got to spend time in Italy. Who cares if your last day wasn't great.

YOU DESERVE IT, genius. If you're broke then don't go to Italy and spend too much money.

You're pathetic if you can't live on crackers for just one day.

It's your last day and you have to "survive" on shitty crackers? Protip: you can live more than a day without eating.

a) if they are your friends, they will invite you or lend you money. b) It is EASY to miscalculate how much money you have spent if you withdraw from ATMs in a different country in a different currency. Balance inquiries don't necessarily help because transactions can take days to go through and exchange rate fluctuate, so I see how you could end up in this shitty situation. c) you will survive

I had to go 2 days with little food, due to me getting paid late because of my dick of a manager cocking up. It was probably the equivalent of the crackers you just ate. -.- Being a student with a **** of a manager = FTL. But hey, atleast he gave me a little bit more pay for his **** up. GET OVER IT, IT'S A FEW BLOODY HOURS
