Remember when your bank account had all that money? Yeah, me too. Those were good times.

You go to look at your account and what you see is so appalling that you just stare at it wondering where it all went wrong. You work and at one point there was a lot of money, but each pay check seems to magically disappear as soon as it's deposited.

Instantly you start scrolling through your purchases desperately looking for the 500 dollar mystery transaction that's wiped your account. Unfortunately the only transactions you find are the one's you made.

4. Acceptance

5. Maximum Saving Mode

You've finally accepted your situation and until your bank account can reach an acceptable balance you become the cheapest person alive. You are the equivalent of a coupon mom. You eat at home. You vow to never shop full price ever again, from now on you will live in the Sale sections.

6. Pay Day

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
