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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found my checking and savings account to both read $0.00. My parents transferred all my money to theirs because "I'm irresponsible, and not fit to handle money." I'm a 3.8 college student and have a full-time job. They are currently unemployed. FML
Today, I found out why I haven't been getting my bank statements for the past couple of months. My parents have been hiding them from me, because they've been stealing from it. FML
Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. 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, I frantically told my parents that my bank account had no money. Turns out, they took the $1,600 I had saved up from a summer job and invested it in penny-stocks. I was grounded because they were "doing it for the family," and I'm being selfish. They also had lost it all in a matter of days. FML
Today, after weeks of allowing my parents to borrow money, I got a check for $2000. I took it to the bank only to find out it was fake. FML
Today, I had to dig into my savings to help my parents pay for their divorce. FML
Today, I'm 36 years-old, living with my parents, in debt. My mom always wants to solve my problems by giving me money, which she later claims as "borrowed", so now I'm highly in debt with the bank… and her. FML
Today, I found out that my parents used all of the college money I have been saving up for 8 years to buy a beach house. The reason they waited until now to tell me? A tree fell on it, and they need more money for repairs. FML
Today, I found out that when my uncle died, he left me and the rest of my family £2000 each. Only my parents kept and spent my share on themselves. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

See this is why separate accounts are a good idea.

This is why you don't give your parents access to your accounts, dumbass.

How old are you? If you're over 18, how do your parents have access to your account? I purposely made my mum a signatory of my account in case something happened to me but otherwise she can't get into my account.

probably because they know his social security number, dob, and full name. Banks are way less secure than most people realize.

Bah your parents have probably spent a lot more than that on you during your life so far, be ******* grateful they left you the 27 dollars :p

They sign up for that when they have kids. PARENTS raise and provide for kids, not the kids. It's not their job to ******* support themselves. Even if that were good logic, they could at least tell the kid beforehand. Also, should I start stealing from my parents without their knowledge, then justify it by saying, "Do you have any idea how much money it's going to take to build a mother-in-law suite and then later put you in a home, for YEARS possibly? Be grateful I don't take every penny to your name!"?

Yeah, and that shit can cost several thousand a month. The kids end up the ones getting the raw deal in the end.

Wow I guess someone doesn't understand a joke :|

I kind of figured you were joking, but there are a lot of people who really think this way. I just replied to your comment so mine would have context, instead of making it a regular comment.

While its sucks to be in his parents situation he should be greatful for the basics in this economic climate. I'm going to play the odds here and don't think he had more then a few thousand in his savings account. It is possible to have vast sums in their savings account thats losing value from inflation most would have it invested somewhere. If a young person has the means of accumulating such wealth they most likely would have invested it leaving maybe a months salary for emergencies. Clueless lottery winners notwithstanding of course.

Once again, it's not *just* your money if you agreed to allow them access to it. It is *your* money (plural), since you gave them access. If you don't understand banking, shut your pie-hole and deal.

You deserve it for not keeping your money in your anal cavity. - Make them pay when they get old, put them in an abusive retirement home that force the occupants to create old on oldy ****.
