Today my husband's rich aunt and uncle came in town and handed us an envelope and said we hope this helps out with the student loans. Inside the envelope was just an article on new student loan procedures and how to get lower payments. FML

You have a husband and you expect his aunt and uncle to give you money for a student loan? seriously!? If you have a f*ing husband you dont need money from his aunt and uncle. why the hell would you still be in college if u got a husband? geez as long as ur husbands' got a good job who gives a shit bout school! YDI for being in school when u have a husband.

#115 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:10am by skyhi

WOW # 80 I never comment on these thing, but reading the ignorant dribble you let fall out of head, I was compelled to do so. Im sure your not familiar with how much it cost to attend collage these days a lot of people continue to pay off their student loans well after they have graduated. Secondly this is 2009 women are no longer under the false impression that they need a man to take care of them, and aspire to educate and be self sufficient on their own, with out without a man. Clearly you would be "OK" as an uneducated woman who does nothing more then lay on her back when asked to by a man...So when you get married, and have some man taking care of you, and decided to leave you because he realizes he married an IDIOT who's only mastered spreading her legs and upgrades for a woman who actually took the time out to educate herself...you'll be the one with the FML, and you will most certainly have deserved it.

They don't exactly owe you ANYthing, so not really a FML.

#3 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:25pm by atruegem

THANK YOU!!! thats exactly what i was thinking when i read this! the nerve of some people thinking they are owed shit

#91 - On 07/02/2009 at 11:37pm by damnthatsuck

It's not that they're owed anything, but the envelope thing was annoying.

#116 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:14am by bob1124

If I randomly knew any rich people and they came to me with an envelope saying "hopefully this will help you pay off your student loans" I would damn well assume it was some money. If they just wanted to show me the article, they could have just given it to me saying "we found this article, we thought it might be useful to you" instead of handing it to me in a freakin envelope.

It was a dick move by the rich people but not really an FML for the OP, just disappointing.

#139 - On 07/03/2009 at 6:14am by boatiebanter

YES!!! THANK YOU!!! People who think they are owed something in exchange for nothing are worthless scum who deserve a painful death!

#142 - On 07/03/2009 at 7:45am by EugenicMedic

Yeah, I would have to agree. They don't owe you anything and you shouldn't really be expecting it unless you asked for it. And maybe, just maybe, they got rich by working hard. I kind of had the initial response to this as "Boohoo, you have tow work hard for money."

#152 - On 07/03/2009 at 11:47am by curryndricegirll

What do you expect? She can't just bail you out. How would you learn how to take care of your own financial needs?

just bc u have a rich relative doesnt mean you can expect money from them!

that sucks.. you lose some you gain some.

#7 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:27pm by hurtshimself

I'd say it was pretty nice of them, you shouldn't have expected money. What they did was help you help yourself. Don't expect hand outs from people.

#8 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:27pm by Seti

My thoughts exactly.

Well, you shouldn't assume stuff. You know what that does.

#12 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:29pm by Crummie

Why the fuck would you expect anyone to give you money.
Get a job and pay for it yourself.
Douche.

#13 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:30pm by MeganH0LLYW00D

At least they cared enough to get you tips. Why should you expect a big loan in this economy? :P

Or at all. O_o

#14 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:30pm by milgalo

i would gladly take it. don't be so spoiled and just expect people to hand out money like it grows on trees. i'm sure the money your aunt and uncle made didn't just fall out of the sky.

#15 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:30pm by meeeep

your husbands* aunt and uncle

#24 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:35pm by meeeep

YDI for expecting them to give you money

#16 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:30pm by butteredbuns

Well at least they helped you find the material.

#17 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:30pm by 24788

hahah sucks that they got your hopes up

#18 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:30pm by Bizzile

just because they are rich doesn't mean u will always get money for u this is not even close to being an fml

#19 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:31pm by stiles

pfft, yeah, i have a lot of rich relatives
and my parents have money, but not much to spare.
and we never get a dime. its the way people work.
you're just being greedy, so suck it up and get a job.

#20 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:32pm by takemedown

What do u expect? Them giving u free money?

#21 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:33pm by TheUnknown

haha jacked up

#22 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:34pm by byterzwillbeeate

If they're self-made, they didn't get rich by having everything given to them, and they don't stay rich by hemorrhaging their money to all their friends and relatives.

On the other hand, if they're trust fund babies who are rich only by accident of birth, then yeah, they're douchebags.

#23 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:34pm by aback

Wrong. No matter how they got it it's their to as they please with. Period.

#28 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:42pm by satanicminnow1

Meaning if they're trust-fund babies, they're being douchy to do the whole "handing the envelope" bit. I don't give a shit what they do with their own money.

#135 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:40am by aback

They dont have to give you anything. They cant battle your issues. Thats YOUR responsibility.

#25 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:39pm by bethechange

that sucks so much. they'll probably laughing right now.

#26 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:39pm by Geist

If they're self made, dude, you can learn so much from them, stop whining about them not giving you money and take advantage of their knowledge.

#27 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:40pm by Mefreh

not really fml. just shitty circumstance.

#29 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:43pm by iwearfeathers

I hope you said thank you

#30 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:45pm by tunacansam

Wow, this is fucking sad. I feel nothing but contempt for you, just up and expecting everyone you deem better-off than you to just pay your way through life. Failure at life.

How the fuck did this get past moderation anyway? It's not a FML, it's more of an I-Fail-at-Life.

#31 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:56pm by angorashi

It IS the recession, after all...

#32 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:56pm by theflamezbegin

ehh, epically weak FML...
you're both adults now, so figure it out on your own; you don't need auntie and uncle to bail you out. :/

#33 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:58pm by yummehMOO

LMAO that was made of win! So true.

#36 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:08pm by Claymason

Yes, because people normally give others articles about money in envelopes, and women who want to pay for their kids' educations are gold-diggers.

#37 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:08pm by mezentius

it's nto for their kids education..it's for their debts from their student loans..when THEY were students.

#39 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:19pm by itsnotfair

This is freaking funny and too true.

#170 - On 07/04/2009 at 12:45am by weirdgirl_sf

Its very much a cock-tease.

#38 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:12pm by WorkSexMonkey

Thank you! My thoughts exactly.

Doesn't anyone else find it kind of unusual to put an article about student loans in an envelope? Why not just give them the article instead of getting their hopes up (because usually you put money in envelopes people).

Personally, I would have been annoyed too if that happened to me, because I would have thought it was money as well.

#122 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:40am by Maddoctor

heh heh heh

#40 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:19pm by beethoven

to everyone who's saying that she shouldn't expect to be given money,
and maybe she didn't expect it before,
but when someone hands you an envelope saying "i hope this helps with student loans"...isn't that what you would expect?

#41 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:24pm by lisafannypack

I agree completely. I'm baffled how anyone would NOT expect money when being handed an envelope when the topic of conversation is about debt. It doesn't sound to me like the OP was expecting money beforehand, just that the context was so overwhelmingly pointing to a financial gift, which of course would be disappointing.

#45 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:36pm by vanillafire

That's what I was thinking. To me it sounds like she wasn't expecting a thing, and was surprised when the rich people handed her an envelope and made a misleading comment to fool her into thinking they were giving her money. I mean seriously, who gives an article in a fucking envelope and says it's to help with a difficult financial situation? That's a shitty, bitchy thing to do to someone. Presumably it's a rich person's idea of a cracking practical joke. -.-

#46 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:36pm by paperfox

Today my husband's rich aunt and uncle came in town

So yah the gold digger WAS expecting money. Its like

My husbands aunt and uncle who own a Mercerdes Benz Dealership visited us, she knew how muhc I loved Mercerdes and how muhc I loved their car. At the end of lunch she said she was getting rid of it and didnt want it anymore and was gonna give it away before i could say anything she said she was getting a new SLR McLaren and her(the aunts) son was getting her old one.

She wanted the Mercedes and expected one becuz she thinks the world revolves around her.

1. Today my husband's aunt and uncle came in town who had given money before

2. Today my husband's rich aunt and uncle came in town

2. means GIVE GIVE ME GIVE ME!!!!

1. Means the aunt and uncle may give out money


Juding by this FML they dont give out the only parade it around..with a McLaren.. SLR Super Light Roadster...

#49 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:40pm by jdawg777

What the fuck? How is this a FML? They gave you more than they needed to.

Your being selfish so YDI

#52 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:46pm by Tashaxox

SHUT THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!!! Did you not READ what she SAID?? The aunt handed her an article INSIDE AN ENVELOPE and then said it will help with her debts!! What was she supposed to think???!! Have you EVER seen somebody give someone else a newspaper article inside an envelope?? >:(]

#53 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:49pm by dougelo7

fml i still have to pay the student loans i racked up while educating myself all by myself....just like i had always planned. even if there was nothing initially expected, the envelope and what the aunt said would only spike excitment for a minute until the envelope was open. so fml bc for a second i was excited then didnt get what i thought i was going to for that one minute? thats called life and yours isnt f'ed

#54 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:49pm by plutosaplanet

You shouldn't expect money from them. YDI

#55 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:50pm by taaam

Honestly, you should be able to pay for your own loans....Unless you went to a private school or out of state, they should be managable.
I take full responsibility of my loan and I don't expect a cent from anyone.

#57 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:55pm by scorpioserpent

YDI for expecting a handout.

#59 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:58pm by MrJentipede

YDI, they don't have to give you money and they were trying to help out. Sure the money would have been nice, but you shouldn't assume they will give it to you.

#60 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:00pm by N00d13s

What i want to know is how you have a husband, and most likely kids, and how you have student loans? Unless your a fucking doctor which your not, ur husband obviously pays bill becuase you NEED to pay offf the loans that apparently arent helping u, it might be me, but everyone in my family payed off all there loans, maybe its cuz were rich, but who knows?

#64 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:04pm by RJB

probably because you're rich

#94 - On 07/03/2009 at 12:05am by beethoven

it must be because you're rich- you obviously didn't learn much from your education. Learn to speak, please!

#97 - On 07/03/2009 at 12:12am by alliwannado

theyre not obligated to pay your debts, dumbass!

#66 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:09pm by wtfxckmate

Ouch.

#67 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:10pm by ILoveJace01

The only way this is a FML is if they promised to give you money to help pay your student loans off and then gave you the article. Since you didn't say that you just come off as GREEDY. YDI because you don't deserve any of their money.

#69 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:19pm by Lisasimpsonfan

Umm, just because they're wealthy doesn't mean they have to share it with you. This isn't an FML. Just too bad for you.

#70 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:21pm by Avenging_Angel

To previous comments. So a rich relative hands u an envelope saying here is something to help with your debts and your first guess would be a leaflet? Some of you are delusional little bitches, if only me and OP were as awesome as you.

#72 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:25pm by fishyfingaz

tell me about it. my parents couldn't make it to my graduation since they live in another country. they sent me an envelope. i was expecting a check since i was in need of money, and they made a big deal to rush mail it and kept asking me on the phone if i had received it yet. i expected it to be something important. it was only a card saying happy graduation....

#73 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:29pm by jb21

my aunt and uncle do this too

#74 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:33pm by Topguy

#76 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:36pm by JoshuaJosh

How are they douchebags when the aunt and uncle made it out as if it was money to go towards the loans? I'd be pissed as well if I were them.

#77 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:39pm by BLNovelist

They don't owe you jack. They made their own money.
Get off your butt and make yours and quit holding your hand out.
If you can't pay off your loans, don't take them out.
It's idiots like you who have screwed up the economy
and expect everyone else to pay for their free ride.
I bet you can't wait until your parents fall over
dead so you can get their money too.

#82 - On 07/02/2009 at 11:19pm by Emrysa

I don't understand how your life is f'd though because its not... your husband rich aunt and uncle didn't have to give you money! I honestly don't understand how this is an FML! I've submitted much worse FMLs than this one.

#86 - On 07/02/2009 at 11:33pm by ImAKlutz15

Because they gave it to them in a fucking envelope, idiot.

#119 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:23am by bob1124

Yes, but she was expecting money because she said my husbands rich aunt and uncle meaning she was expecting money. Her life isn't f'd.

#144 - On 07/03/2009 at 9:35am by ImAKlutz15

yeah,
ydi.
you shouldn't be expecting money from his family.
thats really rude.

#92 - On 07/02/2009 at 11:51pm by ChocolatexGames

I don't think they were expecting money, but the fact that they could have helped and gave them an envelope that they said would help them got their hopes up

#93 - On 07/02/2009 at 11:51pm by Noga452

i don't think she deserves it..if i was handed an envelope and told the same thing I'd too think it was money.And i think she stated that the aunt and uncle were rich because it helps show why she thought it would be money,.I don't know maybe i just try to see the good in situations and people rather than take my day's anger out on someone i don't know.

#98 - On 07/03/2009 at 12:28am by sexymessy

ha, they're histerical

#99 - On 07/03/2009 at 12:33am by AshleyRose784

I don't think they were expecting any money from the aunt until the aunt said "hope this helps". Who wouldn't assume it was money. But if they've been waiting for their rich relatives to give them money then yes they deserved it.

#100 - On 07/03/2009 at 12:41am by MonkeyButt55

don't expect anyone else to pay your bills for you. they probably didn't realize that handing you an envelope with the article onside was misleading. did the article have any helpful information?

#102 - On 07/03/2009 at 12:45am by Qup

What's wrong with all these miserable and cyncical commenters out there?! The OP didn't say she expected money, the fact that they relatives had money isn't even important. It was that the way the aunt and uncle had set her up was disapointing. If they had said "we found this interesting article about getting lower student rate payments, we think it might help you", then that would be fine. I HIGHLY doubt that the OP would have complained or had any problem with that at all. But being handed an envelope and told that it should help their financial problem, that underhanded, indirect delivery gives the impression that money is involved. What else is delivered in such a way?

Let's use a comparison: James Bond needs to infiltrate a highly secure base. Beforehand, someone comes up to him and hands him an envelope saying, "This should help you get inside". He opens it up to find an article on lock-picking. Think he'd be a bit pissed? Sure, he would have gotten inside on his own eventually and certaintly didn't expect anyone else's help, but after being presented with an envelope in that manner, wouldn't it be reasonable to expect a little more?

That might be true, but that's still not FYL. In my opinion, her life after the experience is just as f-cked as it was before. The disappointment of not getting what she expected or inferred she would get only lasts a little while.

This FML basically reads:
I expected something because something was presented a certain way.
I didn't get it.
FML.

She's no worse off because of it. And to some extent, it IS a "YDI" because she inferred that it was money without them explicitly stating that that is what they were offering. They said they were giving something that might help them out. That's what they gave--an article that might help them out. They didn't lie. It's not really their fault she expected something else, and I doubt they realize that it would come off that way. When you're rich, I would think you tend to take it for granted... unless rich people walk around everyday thinking, "I'm so rich. I better consciously think about my richness and how other people see my richness so that my actions don't give them the wrong idea!"

If they had given her a pile of poo in that envelope, well, then that would be FHL for sure. =]

#108 - On 07/03/2009 at 1:03am by englishmuffin

They weren't like goingthere to get a loan but she gave them the envelope saying that would help them they probably didn't open it till they got home ( that's what I would do) and they got their hopes up really high then opened it and got really disapointed

#106 - On 07/03/2009 at 1:02am by oogyboogy

YDI for evidently not copying them on the memo where you detailed which family members were responsible for subsidizing whose education.

#107 - On 07/03/2009 at 1:03am by haxromana

You should send them a thank-you envelope with nothing in it.....

#110 - On 07/03/2009 at 1:15am by hossgray

LOL and agree with #'s 110 and 112

#132 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:08am by sexymessy

I'd feel slightly insulted that they thought I wouldn't research that for myself.

#112 - On 07/03/2009 at 1:44am by MyHandIsNumb

Morons, the OP wasn't expecting money... until the wealthy relative handed them an envelope, saying the contents would help them financially. Pretty misleading.
That said, the rich don't get and stay rich by throwing money at other people. They're the biggest tightwads.

#113 - On 07/03/2009 at 1:47am by christopherlove

but the fact that she said my husbands rich aunt and uncle meant something... its just a disappointment not an f'd up moment

#145 - On 07/03/2009 at 9:40am by ImAKlutz15

Yes, OP saying it was a rich aunt and uncle meant something...it was meant to clarify that the aunt and uncle weren't poor or having financial troubles themselves so that other people wouldn't jump down their throats saying "Well what if they can spend money on other people?" or "What if they were affected by the recession" or something along those lines. The only reason the "rich" part was put in was to make it clear that they didn't have their own money issues to worry about.

#163 - On 07/03/2009 at 6:06pm by mcsnelly

At least they thought of you guys enough to give you some sort of info about student loans. You can't expect them to just hand you money right then and there. Your expectations are a little too high. You should appreciate the fact that they at least thought about you guys enough to give you some sort of information about the loans.

#114 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:01am by Fade_2_Black

I'm going to have to say you kind of deserved it for Expecting money but then again it is a bit of a cruel joke, or maybe they even didn't realize the hopes they were putting in your head when they gave you the envelope so it's hard to say :P haha

#117 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:18am by crashtest1205

hey fly but its congress and Obama taxing the rich more which doesnt cut congress overspending. or open jobs because the buisness owners are taxed more and cant afford to hire

#118 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:20am by car6435

you kind of deserved that one. why should they pay for you just because they're rich? i think they gave you very valuable information for your futures. maybe that will teach you how to make smarter decisions in your future, and prevent debt. it should make you realize that you shouldn't rely on other people's money to get by, and it's an early start to earning your own money so that you have a base for your future. just saying...

#120 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:33am by xxgfxx90

YDI for expecting a handout.

#123 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:40am by Kgeeh85

they're rich because they're "frugal." that's just how it is.

#124 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:40am by americayay

FYL

#125 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:45am by Maddoctor

That sucks. And for idiots saying "YDI for expecting money", if rich people handed you an envelope saying they hope it helps you pay for whatever, you would expect money too. What fool puts an article in an envelope when they are giving it in person?

#126 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:58am by Sambo110

they didn't get rich by giving money away...that's for sure.

#127 - On 07/03/2009 at 3:15am by Flavrmonky

Idiot! Use your education and get a job to pay off your student loans like most other people who have them. I think the aunt and uncle were just making it more formal and discreet by using an envelope. That or perhaps they were testing to see your greedy-ass' reaction when you saw it wasn't money. For all you know you're probably not in their will now, depending on your reaction. YDI for thinking that just because they have money means they should chip in for your education. Get a damn job or two and stop expecting handouts--leech!!!

#131 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:07am by robodoll

She never said she expected money, but when they hand an envelope over you would sorta expect it.

#136 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:54am by Sambo110

Greedy Fuck.

#133 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:12am by tomteh1337

Why'd you think you were getting money?...

#134 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:21am by xolauren584

Because they presented her with an envelope and said "we hope this helps out with the student loans". The fact that it was in an envelope implies money, doesn't it?
I don't really think is an FML though. More of a mild disappointment.

#137 - On 07/03/2009 at 5:10am by emkaytwo

how is this a fml and why does everyone agree it is? they gave you helpful information on how to consolidate and lower payments on a loan. what were you expecting? money? you think you deserve a handout? this "fml" reeks of greed.

#138 - On 07/03/2009 at 5:19am by Nightfallz

What, they have to give u money for that? They were still trying to help u, what right do u have to their money? Expecting money from them is selfish. YDI.

#140 - On 07/03/2009 at 7:10am by Ub3r_Crippl3

LOL, sounds like my family!

#141 - On 07/03/2009 at 7:11am by illgutcha

so since they are rich, they can pay your loans, buy you a vacation home, buy you a couple of cars, set up a trust fund for your kids. how do you even know they're rich? more money, more bills, more greedy relatives

#143 - On 07/03/2009 at 8:20am by deliapearl

Um...YDI for thinking other people who are only related to you by marriage in any way shape or form should give you their money.

#146 - On 07/03/2009 at 10:20am by LuckyCharms

stupid bitch

#147 - On 07/03/2009 at 10:28am by ugliy

Yep, YDI. Read the article and quit expecting hand-outs.

#148 - On 07/03/2009 at 10:32am by gern55

YDI for expecting money... who cares if you got an envelope without money god damn. that's not the only things in envelopes so quit complaining. and anyways isn't that what your graduation money is supposed to help with? they were just trying to help what's the big deal they probably figured that you don't have them payed off yet so instead of being a SELFISH BITCH you should be THANKING them for the help. why do people have to be so STUPID and expect stuff from there rich realitives... you don't see me posting a fml for getting a graduation card from my doctor without any money expecting to get some cause he's my doctor and has a lot of money so get over it. LIFES NOT FAIR deal with it

#149 - On 07/03/2009 at 10:54am by hope93

They are giving you a long term solution so you can figure out how to get out of this jam yourself, not with them giving out handouts and you two not learn anything.

#150 - On 07/03/2009 at 11:41am by xtremelifter

weird, must not be a lot of college students on here. i think it's a FYL, and i think if you have money you share with your family. family is the most important, that's just how i was taught.

#151 - On 07/03/2009 at 11:47am by danielleFML

Douchebags!!!

#153 - On 07/03/2009 at 12:05pm by FuzzyWalnuts

You shudnt have expected anything, but I can see y u did. For graduation my rich aunt and uncle with a bigass house they built from scratch gave me a 15$ iTunes card :p

#154 - On 07/03/2009 at 12:15pm by brunoisbeast

hahahahahah thats why theyre your "rich" aunt and uncle!

#155 - On 07/03/2009 at 12:47pm by element01

that was a douchebag move i mean in most logical minds, hope this helps with your financial situation+ envelope= money why the fuck would they put an article in an envelope this was an intentional asshole move by the aunt and uncle it's like their rubbing it in, I'm with the poster

#157 - On 07/03/2009 at 1:45pm by condescending

obama and bush are like diet coke and coke zero while they both tast different their essentially the same thing but like most people i prefer the black one

#158 - On 07/03/2009 at 1:49pm by condescending

This guy should get an envelope, mark "Thank You" on it and insert a printed version of all these comments. The aunt and uncle are jerkoffs for the way they did it, not that they didn't give any money. If you think otherwise you are an idiot.

#159 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:14pm by cimcanada

And of course the onus is on them to pay off your loans. Stop whining and just pay the fucking loans.

#160 - On 07/03/2009 at 3:52pm by godyourethick

YDI for expecting money from family in the first place.

#161 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:37pm by _DANTE_

Just in case their real message went over your head....

Learn to be smart about money and work hard.

I bet that article might actually help you with your loans if you actually read it.

#162 - On 07/03/2009 at 5:43pm by jakkal

I had a dream about this FML last night! It was scripted perfectly too! Haha imagine this and a mixture of the twilight zone. What a strange dream.

#164 - On 07/03/2009 at 6:12pm by morgarita

what else do u expect...? just because they're rich, doesn't mean they are obligated to help you out... you spent it, you pay it!

#165 - On 07/03/2009 at 6:44pm by you_are_funny

"Money, get back. I'm all right jack keep your hands off of my stack. Money, its a hit. Don't give me that do goody good bullshit."

#166 - On 07/03/2009 at 8:21pm by afmanslady

okay first off, why do people post idiotic comments? I hate stupid people, second, how the hell did that FML start a politics conversation? and 3rd, it was kind of tricky that they put it in an envolope, but its not their job to pay for your student loans, they worked hard to get their money and people should do the same for themseves and stop relying on people that have money because they have worked hard for it all their lives. Its your job to pay off those loans and not theirs, and at least they were trying to help, they didnt even have to help that much.

#167 - On 07/03/2009 at 9:17pm by HollyAnne

I don't think the OPs were "expecting" these relatives to give them money at all - until they gave them an envelope and said it was to help with loans. That's a pretty mean thing to do. And for all you know these relatives could have inherited it and not "worked" hard. I know too many people who do.

#168 - On 07/03/2009 at 10:41pm by 110879

"mean thing to do"? I doubt that was their intention. Whether they worked for it or not, it's still their money. They don't have to give it to anyone if they don't want to.

OP, definitely not a fyl.

#173 - On 07/04/2009 at 5:15am by Shizza

FML for what?! Why would you expect any relative even a wealthy one to pay off your debts out of the blue? You are wicked lame.

#169 - On 07/04/2009 at 12:41am by weirdgirl_sf

Now you know how they got to be rich! Frugality. More tips on student loans, credit, buying cars, etc. some via Oprah, are in section 99, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris

#171 - On 07/04/2009 at 1:30am by CLICKHEREx

Firtsly. Holly shit ALOT of comments got deleted.
Secondly. I'm Canadian, but (L) OBAMA!!
Thirdly. You can't just expect that just because they're rich means they're going to shower you with money....

#172 - On 07/04/2009 at 2:09am by xXlolololXx

They're equipping you with the skills for financial success.

#174 - On 07/04/2009 at 11:20am by RK5000

they're rich for a reason, learn from them and stop being pathetic and expecting things!

#175 - On 07/04/2009 at 4:41pm by pureamber

Makes me sad how many times I have to repeat myself, THINK before you post. Goddamnit you commenters here are bloody retarded, cannot read or whatsoever, always mistaking the actual FML (not counting in the inteligent commenters here).

They could have just handed the articel with their HAND. Unless they didn't know how said person would react, dick move by those 2.

#176 - On 07/04/2009 at 4:54pm by loooooooooool

Why are people freaking about the envelope? My grandma keeps fucking everything in an envelope, she'll give us an article or one coupon in an envelope, that's just what she does. 2nd) Obviously the OP was expecting a handout seeing how she started the story with "...My husbands rich aunt and uncle..." Why do people have to be labled by the amount of money they have? Just because they're rich doesn't mean they should give you or anyone their money, and just because they don't give your lazy ass some money doesn't mean that they're mean or that your life is fucked.

#177 - On 07/04/2009 at 6:20pm by Gingerly

boo fucking who

#178 - On 07/06/2009 at 3:46am by shadow14231

So, how is this a FML? You're in the same position you were before they came to you w/ that article in an envelope. Just because you're greedy and stupid, it doesn't entitle you to any money from anyone. People and their sense of entitlement....

#179 - On 07/06/2009 at 7:09pm by mkivsuptt

give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. You do realize that a large reason that they are rich is because they are SMART with their money....don't you?
