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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I discovered that when my parents offered to help me pay for college, what they really meant is they would get the forms for me to apply for student loans. FML
Today, my parents gave me a letter they'd forgotten about since late last year. In it was a $30,000 scholarship to a local master's program with an application due date of two weeks ago. FML
Today, my fiancée "thought I should know" that she has a $125,000 student loan debt. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML
Today, my husband announced the reason he had been working since much is because he had secretly paid off my tens of thousands of student loans. I then had to tell him I'm leaving him for his best friend. FML
Today, I called my dad to ask why my university tuition had not been paid. He said that my school was "too expensive" and he "couldn't afford it." He then asked me if I would take in his mail while he was away. He was taking his new wife to Hawaii; apparently it's beautiful this time of year. FML
Today, my wife received a $15,000 bonus from her work. I got a backpack from mine. FML
Today, my father's company shut down his branch, leaving him without a job. This is followed by a letter from my school's financial aid office, saying I'm not getting a penny because my family's income level is too high. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years asked me to marry him so that we can consolidate our student loans. FML
Today, my husband fell for an online scam leaving us 1450.00 in the negative. We get paid tomorrow and most of our money is going to cover that debt. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

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.

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....

"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.

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.

Why are people freaking about the envelope? My grandma keeps ******* 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 ******.
