To give us a semblance of control over our own lives, it pays to have a sense of humor. In fact, laughing in the face of your misfortune is sometimes the only way out of it. For those of us working-class folks who like to have a good chuckle, the surest way to do so is to giggle at our own paychecks (because this just HAS to be a joke, right?) Although it's a faux pas to talk about how much money you make, it's objectively hilarious to think of a silly euphemism that alludes to your meager means.

So without further ado, I've collected a list of movie titles that perfectly describe the diminishing return of every worker's paycheck. Because even if your own pay stub could be described as "From Prada to Nada", at least it's not "Gone in 60 Seconds". Scroll onward to enjoy the cleverly dark humor of other 40-hour workweek survivors and perhaps take a lighthearted 15-minute break in the lunch room.
