17 Hilarious tweets about having insufficient funds

There is nothing more terrifying than the tense moments before you see your bank account balance. Whether you're reading a bank statement, using online banking, or at the ATM, you will always be expecting bad news. Budgeting is a skill that is learned through making mistakes more than anything, and those mistakes will have you worrying every time you have to use your card for anything.

Personally, if I am taking money out of a cashpoint - no way am I going to check my balance while I'm there. It's not the smart move, but I want to stay as far away from that number as I can until I have to check it out. But luckily, there are plenty of people out there who understand this struggle, and took to the internet to write hilarious tweets about it.
