Today, my wife handed over most of our son's college fund, in cash, to an investment scammer going by the name "Herp A. Derpson". FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I caught my mother attempting to write a $1400 cheque. To whom? The proprietor of a "Christian charity fund" with whom she had been having Internet conversations. The proprietor's name, and that on the cheque, was "Herp McDerpington". FML
Today, I learned that my dad invested my entire college fund into some shady internet stock, despite my dire warnings about being careful. He told me not to worry as he'd done some research, and he guaranteed everything would be fine. Two hours later that same stock dropped almost 75%. FML
Today, my twit of a husband admitted to falling for an internet scam involving a dead foreign politician, the promise of a share in millions of dollars currently stuck in a bank, and him having wired a large amount of our money to "bribe an official". FML
Today, my husband had to admit that he lost 5000$ on a cryptocurrency scam that some asshole Twitch streamer convinced him to invest in via Twitter. FML
Today, my husband and I have been fighting because I gave our son his college fund, even though he got a full-ride scholarship. My husband didn't think it was necessary and wanted to use it for other things. FML
Today, I learned that my daughter pocketed the money I'd paid so she could go to college. FML
Today, my husband fell for an online scam leaving us 1450.00 in the negative. We get paid tomorrow and most of our money is going to cover that debt. FML
Today, I found out that the money my husband and I gave to my son for university courses, has instead been spent on pole dancing lessons. FML
Today, I found out my wife named our son after her ex-lover. FML
Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

No offense, but your wife is a dumbass. And wasn't there another FML where the mom was about to send 1400 dollars to a church, and the pastor was Herp McDerpington. Unlike that story, it's too late, I am sorry OP

I think OP's wife needs a college fund. Or perhaps an education in common sense.

Hey now, that prince has died many times, and one of these times I will be able to come into contact with the holder of the money I'm owed.

I don't know about you but the last time I talked to the prince of Nigeria, he promised me a plump wife and a canoe.

When the Prince of Nigeria contacts you directly, you don't ask questions! You help where you can!

Yeah there was I just saw it today, I don't understand how people buy into that BS....

I never understood how someone can be so easily fooled. seriously check references of everyone that will be in control of your money investment companies, banks, charities, etc. make sure you know where that money is going. it's really not that hard.

If your son inherited your wife's intelligence, he won't need collage anyway.
rileyrae0000 23
Lemme guess, you didn't go to 'collage' either

Actually, I did go to college. I downloaded a new keyboard on this phone and it has a mind of its own sometimes. Should have proofread.
