Today, I asked my parents if I had a college fund because I will be going to university in two years. They laughed. FML

Today, I asked my mom how much she had set aside for college. She then looked and me as if I were crazy and said "Why the hell would I do anything like that?" 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, my husband told his parents that he was quitting his job so that he could focus on school. They asked him what he was going to do for money. When I told them that I'd be the one working, they took one look at me and burst into laughter. FML

Today, I was accepted to college and received a scholarship equal to almost half the tuition. After sharing this news with my parents, I spent the next 35 minutes getting yelled at about how I wasn't allowed to go there because my boyfriend might go there. FML

Today, I told my parents I was thinking about joining the army. They looked at each other and laughed for about 10 minutes straight. I wasn't joking. FML

Today, I had to stop going to university with 2 years left because my parents feel it's not the right course for me. I am 23 years-old, living with my parents, $2 to my name and no job. FML

Never start a college fund!!! The more money you have to your name the less grants and federal loans you get!!!

welcome to adulthood. I will be at least 30 grand in debt before I even graduate, 20 if I'm lucky. student loans are a bitch, but without them I'd be screwed.

Better start picking up your grades and hoping for scholarships. I don't have a college fund either. I've known this all my life. I'm not complaining.

I have no idea why kids think it's their parents responsability to pay for their college, a good start to your adult life is learning to stand on your own two feet and pay for your own education there are various ways this can be done with loans or a side job etc,etc.

fyl. don't even go to college, get a job doing something you like and save up. it's just like going to college except u get to keep your 20 grand PLUS. college is for rich people. jobs that don't require degrees don't pay for degrees all set with 20 PLUS years debt
