Today, I was watching a TV show about people with shopping addictions. One girl was $15,000 in debt and I thought how horrible it would be to live with that. Then I realized that I'm in medical school and currently $135,000 in debt. At least they have something to show for their debt. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I heard on the news that the average debt one is in when they graduate college is $24,000. I've been in college for one year and my debt is already $20,000. And it turns out that my school's accreditation does not exist like I was told. $20,000 in debt and no college credits to show for it. FML
Today, my fiancée "thought I should know" that she has a $125,000 student loan debt. 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
Today, I'm neck-deep in debt paying for med school. What's worse, the professors here are so terrible that even the morons on Yahoo Answers are 100 times better at explaining my coursework to me. FML
Today, I found out that my girlfriend of almost 6 years has put me in debt over $33,000. FML
Today, I learned I have over $10,000 in debt, despite never owning a credit card. Apparently, my ex-roommate had been replying to the credit card offers I was receiving in the mail. That also explains my missing driver's license a few months back. FML
Today, I did the math: back at college in 2011, I had a $20,000+ reimbursement from my school. If I had invested even half my cash into Bitcoin then ($2.50), I would be worth over $120,000,000. Instead, I said, "Fuck that! This is stupid", and am now over $200,000 in student loan debt. FML
Today, I checked my university financial account to discover I owed them over $1000. The reason? They had apparently given me too much money when I applied for a loan and now want it back. Oh, and I spent my loan money on books and a laptop for school. FML
Today, I had to listen to fellow classmates whine about selling one of their many houses, while I can barely afford to pay for a $100 textbook. FML
Today, I spent my remaining cash on a doctor's visit, only to find out that at the age of 22, I'm getting major health problems brought on by stress. I came home to relax, only to find out my roommate can't pay his rent, and needs me to cover for him so we don't get evicted. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

At least you will have a good career once you are done with school!

"At least they have something to show for their debt"? What does that mean? In a few years you'll have a respectable career. A pile of shiny things won't help you earn money the same way a medical degree can.

FYL for that huge debt. But seriously, medical school > closet full of unreturnable (maybe unsellable) crap.

Who cares? If you become a doctor, you'll make a lot more than that in a year.

You have the knowledge to help people and save lives. Will take that over some dumb stuck up girl. Especially when someone needs help...

My Humble RANT on school debt, Trade-Schools vs. University (College) I've got around a 100K invested in my brain; so far, I've got a stable, secure, decent paying job; I'm riding fine through the economic downturn (except for my 401K); I'm not worried about where my next tank of gasoline, or dinner is coming from...sure, this isn't as fancy as a new pair of shoes or a hot fancy car...it's much more than that. And please, no one else compare a CAREER which requires a 4+ year degree equivalent by any means to a JOB you get with a slip of paper from a Trade-School. I admit, there are some people who get there credentials from a Trade-School and end up making it huge; however, when considering...you're much better off with a 4+ year degree. I'm not certain, but I believe someone somewhere did a study about how people with degrees earn about $1 Million dollars more over their working-life than those who do not have a degree. And anyone who thinks you could pay off $100K worth of loans withing a few years doesn't understand taxes, living expenses, interest, and certainly that doctors don't earn 6-figures fresh out of medical school. Kind Regards All...
