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

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

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

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?

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

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.
