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

F your dad's life for being a "whale". Don't know what it is? Google it.

Does it really matter who earned the money? it was this kids "college savings account" that Daddy looted to fund his Hunter S. Thompson memorial roadtrip. She/He was obviously led to believe that this account was set up to pay for college. Rich or poor, spoiled or grateful, this kid still got screwed.

It's $64,000... I have no money for college. That's enough for a full ride to a significant number of schools. Don't complain about having the privilege of $64,000. Shut up.

Go for a scholarship. And by the way, if s/he's a smart kid and wants to go to a good school, those cost money. Like $25,000 a semester. And that's cheap for out of state.

Maybe if Americans didnt depend on mummy and daddy and college so much then you'd be right.

Be lucky that you have a college savings account. I turn 17 in two months and my mom just started putting away money for me.

That was pretty nice of your parents to even start the savings account, I have to work full time and pay for my own college as I go. Lets just say that you are now a hard working citizen instead of a spoiled brat.
