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

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 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 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 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 discovered my parents have spent my college fund because "2012 will happen" before I graduate. FML
Today, I discovered that my mom got my college fund in the divorce. I will never see that money again and now I can’t afford a four year school. FML
Today, I found out that I owe my college a little over $10,000. Why? Because, due to a slight misspelling of my name, the scholarship that I have been going insane trying to meet the requirements for is not actually giving me any funding. FML
Today, after months of living on five dollars a day for food in college, I found out my parents bought me an expensive meal plan and forgot to mention it. FML
Today, I learned that the new granite countertop in my parents' house cost $12,000. Coincidentally, this is also the amount of money I would have needed to go to the college of my dreams instead of the cheaper school I currently attend. 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 discovered that when my parents offered to help me pay for college, what they really meant is they would get the forms for me to apply for student loans. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It blows my mind, how many of these FMLs you see about empty-headed, deadbeat parents that do things for their own benefit to intentionally **** over their kids. FMLs like these are astonishing. These irresponsible wastes of parents need to get their shit in gear.

How did they get access to *your* bank account? You kept *your* money in *your* account, right? Might want to file fraud charges against them, since they impersonated you and tricked the bank into getting *your* money. Oh wait -- you mean to say it was *their* money? In *their* account? Yeah, grow up and pay for your own damn college.

Pfft, unless you're planning on living with them, even at a state school $20k will only get you a year and a half, tops.

Boohoo? One: That wouldn't even pay for a year in a state college. Two: **** you because most people's parents laugh if their kids even ask if they HAVE a college fund. People like you shouldn't be allowed to complain about anything until they've lived a day on welfare. Go get a job like the rest of us and stop depending on Mommy and Daddy dearest.

Jerks. Parents have a responsibility to help their kids actually get a real start at life, if not it's like kidnapping somebody, dropping them off in some random spot in Oklahoma, an saying "but I brought you here, be grateful of that!" and driving off leaving them there.
