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?

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?

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!!!

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

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

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.

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.

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.
