70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
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?

That's horrible! How dare they! You should sue them when they get back on their feet.

in my opinion, this isnt really an FML when someone (even your parents) takes your money, you have the right to sue, but then youd probably have to pay for a lawyer and waste time getting the money back through court when you could earn twice as much in that same amount of time id just make them pay it back when they get back on their feet. dont just put it on FML, its not that big a deal. :)

What if some of the money their parents took was for something important? Like their rent/mortgage money? or the money they needed to pay any bill really? When a bill is due, that's when its due. Most places wont give you extra time cause your money got taken.

I'm a minor and my mom can't access my account, probably because it's under by deceased fathers name though......

You guys do know that if you start an account when under 18, your parents are on it, and if he recently turned 18, his account would still be accessed by them as the accounts are still connected, and parents usually know yout SSN, DOB, etc. Money, being a few thousands, a few hundred, it all makes a difference, money is not easy to come by, and only being left with 27 bucks sucks.
