Miscellaneous: Thieves like us

Thieves like us

By Bummer - 30/10/2009 02:00 - United States

Today, I found my checking and savings account to both read $0.00. My parents transferred all my money to theirs because "I'm irresponsible, and not fit to handle money." I'm a 3.8 college student and have a full-time job. They are currently unemployed. FML

Today, I frantically told my parents that my bank account had no money. Turns out, they took the $1,600 I had saved up from a summer job and invested it in penny-stocks. I was grounded because they were "doing it for the family," and I'm being selfish. They also had lost it all in a matter of days. FML

Thievery

By ExtemelyBroke - 06/06/2009 02:24 - United States

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 was worried because it's July and I still haven't found a summer job, despite applying to 50 places. It was fine, because I remembered my savings account. I told my parents. Instead of being relieved, they said they're going to take the money from me for being lazy, and using it for my tuition, despite promising to pay for it. FML

Today, I found out why my parents have been trying to convince me not to go to college this year. I also found out where the $20,000 they just spent on landscaping came from. My college fund. Which is now $0. 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

Well are you 18 or older? If so, you should have to sign permissions for those things. Report it to your bank. If you're a minor, well, definitely FYL.

Okay, first of all: your life does indeed suck. That's terrible. Second of all: why do they have access to your account? Shut that down, bro.

Intelligence alone doesn't get you a 3.8 GPA. You have to be responsible enough to work for it, too. It was to reference his parents saying he's irresponsible. Though, allowing his parents account access was a big lapse in both intelligence and responsibility...

ROFL. FYL mx_rider, for having brah in your vocabulary. i'm sorry if you can't see the clear correlation between responsibility and GPA, if one is a student then most would think they're primary RESPONSIBILITY is to work hard in school and your GPA is a direct reflection of your efforts. see how i used both words in one sentence for you? stop being a ******* hater and gtfo.

Ah yes, another in the rash of "Mom and Dad cleaned out my bank account" FMLs. If you're an adult no other adult other than you should have access to your account if you don't want them to have it.

A student with a full-time job? How do you manage that?

It's what some students have to do to make ends meet :/ I've been full-time school/work for 5 years now, since I turned 18 and my parents told me I had to move out and support myself. to the OP: how could your own parents do that to you? I hope you take them to court, I would.

i worked 40 hours a week last school year and still had 15 credits. this year i have two jobs and work about 30 or so hours a week and i have 18 credits (6 classes)...it takes a lot of patience, time management, and responsibility i don't know that i believe this FML though...there are too many of the parents stealing money fmls...so change your bank account it is really easy to do...

My parents had access to my bank account until I finally turned 18 and was able to get them the **** out. All throughout my teenage years my Dad would take out almost $25 a week for 3 years when he ran low on money. ******* asshole.
