Today, I learned that my dad invested my entire college fund into some shady internet stock, despite my dire warnings about being careful. He told me not to worry as he'd done some research, and he guaranteed everything would be fine. Two hours later that same stock dropped almost 75%. FML

I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

Your dad shouldn't be allowed to touch your college savings.

Your dad sounds like a great guy! Would he be interested in making thousands working at home, enlarging his penis or helping out a Nigerian prince? If so, send him my way.

Rule #1 of a college fund, don't touch it, only add to it.

I believe the ticker symbol for your education fund will be FAFSA.

Well, loans and scholarships exist, sorry if you earned that money but if it was your dad's he can (and did) whatever he wants with it.

Yikes! And they wonder why some kids try to sue their parents! Seriously, though; he had no right to do that if it was YOUR college fund. I guess it shows, even parents can do horrible things sometimes (whether they mean to or not)...
