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

That's kinda sad. It doesn't matter was that her/his money or not, it matters that her/his dad is an asshole who cannot help their kids.

It's his cash, not yours. If you already have 64K+, you don't need college.

If your parents can save up $64K for you, don't you think they can make enough money to do it again, or at least pay your tuition on a semi-annual basis? That's a shitton of money. Just suck it up and use scholarships and loans like most college kids do now. Because of budget cuts, I lost $4K in scholarships this year that I was promised. You cry a little, have some wine, and fill out your FAFSA. Yeah, FML, but there is a LOT of support out there financially.

Why and how does your father have access to your account?!

Note: I will have to pay for college myself...... Ok, so, my parents can easily access my money. Most parents are able to because it's easy for them. Think about it; they have all of your info when you're young (prior to college). So, it doesn't matter whether or not that was his money. It was going bye-bye anyway... All these "SPOILED!!!" comments are pretty annoying. If this persons parents are able to save up that amount of money over 18 years or so, why not do it? I'd want my child to have the best education that I can afford. Just because their parents are helping them pay for college doesn't make this person an ungrateful brat. I'm sure they were thankful for such a blessing, and it's an unfortunate loss... Remember, in order to get into an expensive school, you have to have really good grades in high school and stuff. I'm sure they have been working hard, and I'm sure they have a job as well. Even if parents can help pay for college and stuff, everyone likes making their own money.... so, people, please stop hating on this person. This is no small deal. I feel bad for you :(

Wow, that's an impressive savings for *you* to have saved. You seem to do well for yourself, for a person presumably in high school. My only question is how did he get money out of *your* account? Oh, and I guess, what did the police say?

um you should sue. assuming it was the money YOU saved. that's still like way over a year of college depending where you go. SUNY (since you're from NY) are only like $19,000+ a year. so you have 3 years right there! still, you want your money back but look at the bright side! :D

Unless YOU made the money for that college fund and set it up... it's his money and he can do as he will with it. You're not entitled to a college fund. Do what the rest of us do and get scholarships and loans.

Because loans solve everything, don't they. You don't have to pay the money back or anything do you hey?! You don't come out of university with debts to think of do you?! If her parents SAVED that money for her for her education she IS entitled to it because they were saving it for HER. He can't then just go spending it on gambling! It's just immorale.

False. Just because they originally saved it for that purpose does not mean they cannot change their mind, for any reason. Until the money has been transferred into your hands, or you have a legally enforced (not just enforceable, but a court has already decided that they owe you the money) that money is *not* yours. Period, end of story.

If the money came from a Coverdell or other special school savings account, it can be illegal to use that money for something not school related, regardless of whose money it was.

I'll trade with you for your $64,000 college fund. A lot of us had to earn our own college funds, you know.

What $64,000 fund? You mean the $64,000 that's in the casino's pockets now?
