Today, I found my checking and savings account to both read $0.00. My parents transferred all my money to theirs because "I'm irresponsible, and not fit to handle money." I'm a 3.8 college student and have a full-time job. They are currently unemployed. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 frantically told my parents that my bank account had no money. Turns out, they took the $1,600 I had saved up from a summer job and invested it in penny-stocks. I was grounded because they were "doing it for the family," and I'm being selfish. They also had lost it all in a matter of days. 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, I was worried because it's July and I still haven't found a summer job, despite applying to 50 places. It was fine, because I remembered my savings account. I told my parents. Instead of being relieved, they said they're going to take the money from me for being lazy, and using it for my tuition, despite promising to pay for it. FML
Today, the government froze my bank account for not paying college debt, and now I can't access my 0.30 cents. 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, 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
Today, I have -$700 in my current account, $500 from overdraft fees because I spent money they told me I had. I don't get paid till the 15th and when I cash in my paycheck all of it will go to bringing me even. So the $9 I found in my wallet this morning will have to last me untill the 30th. FML
Today, I had to stop going to university with 2 years left because my parents feel it's not the right course for me. I am 23 years-old, living with my parents, $2 to my name and no job. FML
Today, my dad came home from Vegas. Today, my college savings account is down by $64,000. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well are you 18 or older? If so, you should have to sign permissions for those things. Report it to your bank. If you're a minor, well, definitely FYL.

Okay, first of all: your life does indeed suck. That's terrible. Second of all: why do they have access to your account? Shut that down, bro.

Obviously you've not been mature enough to open your own account... go to the bank immediately and fix that.

hmmm, interesting isnt it? some parents... i had that happen to me but i was 18, kicked out, and had no job! i think she wanted to teach me a lesson. instead, i taught her by succeeding. whatever... u do what u got to do and move on. look at it this way, it was kinda like a backhanded compliment and u took one for the team. times are tough. obviously, they were too embarrassed to ask for the money and felt guilty for doing it. so they say something absurd to make them feel better about it. fyl ur parents *btw, its not easy having a full time job And maintaining a 3.8 gpa (depending on what degree and job, its even harder)

Why the f_ck are you in college, yet still share a bank account with your parents? Unfortunately, your parents are right: you aren't fit to handle your money. If you were, you would have your own account.
