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 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, we started building our dream house. Next to my parents-in-law. FML
Today, I discovered my parents have spent my college fund because "2012 will happen" before I graduate. FML
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, after 25 years of marriage, my parents decided to get a very nasty and extremely expensive divorce. Using my college tuition to pay for it. FML
Today, after I just bought a house that is pretty good and suits all our needs for space, my in-laws moved in because they ran into financial troubles. Guess who is stuck with all the extra expenditures? FML
Today, I had to dig into my savings to help my parents pay for their divorce. FML
Today, I bought my first house, blowing nearly all my savings on the deposit. I had left myself enough for just a couple of necessary bits of furniture. It turns out the previous owner completely stripped the house when he left, taking the oven and even the toilet with him, amongst other things. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML

Your parents are awesome for building that. Sucks they had to use your college funds though!

Pay for it like the rest of us middle class students do, get a job... Scholarships... Or student loans! Trust me, you'll appreciate your courses a lot more when you're working your ass off to pay for them.

You should call Peter Jackson and Oprah and make sure both know you called the other. Oprah is always looking for people to give things to and this sounds like it would make a great story. As for PJ, the publicity might get him to kick in too! Worst case scenario you lose a couple hours writing emails and taking pictures and making phone calls.

How can you be mad at them for that. That's pure awesome. If anything, your parents were just teaching you to be more fiscally responsible so you don't grow up with a sense of entitlement and think you can just get spoon fed everything in life.

YDI for thinking your parents should pay for your college.

That was your parent's money not yours so they can do whatever they want with it. It does kind of suck that they planned to give it to you and then took it back though.
