Today, I checked my bank account that I've been saving money in since I was a kid for college. I have $100 left out of the $10,000 I had last month. Apparently my parents thought buying a pool and an HDTV for themselves was more important than my college education. FML

Today, my sister finally broke down and told me that our dad gambled away of all my college savings, and I would have to pay for school the best way I can. They have known for months, and when I asked why nobody told me, the reply was, "You're a college boy, we thought you would figure it out." FML

Today, I left for college. I spent hundreds of dollars on clothes, bedding and other things. After packing my entire closet and everything else I needed, I left only to have to head back home. My dad forgot to pay the first semesters tuition. He said "Oh well, you would have failed out anyway." FML

The post says "down 64k". That means dad lost sixty four thousand dollars gambling. regardless of who earned the money or how much is left that sucks!

Sucks to have a loser like that in the same gene pool.

I highly doubt that you had 64k+ of your own money put away for college. This was your daddy's money so quit acting like it actually belonged to you. And guess what! now you get to learn some responsibility and pay your own way through college and take out loans like most other people do. So why don't you quit whining you rich **** and get over yourself.

If the OP's parents gave them 64k+ for school.... THEN IT WAS THEIRS! Quit being a prat that is jealous because not everyone should have to take out loans for school if there are other options.

Umm... where in this post does it say the kid was in high school? My husband spent a couple years living at home with his parents and working full-time in order to save money to pay his way through college. He accrued a lot of money in two years. And it was a smart way to do things, because... guess what? No debt for him now. OP, that sucks. Even if it was your dad's money, he'd promised it to you for college, and now you have to make other plans for paying, or choose a different and less expensive school. Also, it's not like he took it out to pay for an emergency medical bill, or to make house payments, or to replace a car that broke down. He gambled it away like a dumbass. Way to be responsible.

I seriously hate everyone saying things like, "ZOMGG yer s000 spoiled its his $$$ you should be grateful! omgomgomgomg." You all do realize, that if it was her dads money, he most likely told her he would pay for college. Which would mean she didn't save anything of her own because she thought her parents were paying all, or most of it. Which would mean that now, she has no money to go to school. Which sucks. Not everyone is poor white trash like you guys. And there is nothing wrong with parents paying for their childs education.

Well, if you were depending on your parents' wealth to coast through college, I'd say that you only have so much room to complain. If it's your money entirely, then you should be dragging out of his ass. Then again, if it's entirely your dough, then why the hell should he have any access to it at all? If the latter is the case, you really need to be more careful about your belongings. It's a shameful reason for a reality check, but FYL anyway.
