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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

While in my second year of college, my parents spent my college fund on opening up a business. After a year, they proceeded to file bankruptcy for it. Due to all the loans they took out for the store, they had no money but about $50k in net gain according to taxes. I had about $500 of financial aid and no money for college. Thanks mom and dad. I graduated, but I'm $60k in debt thanks to their bad decisions.

Oh, and delfinofrank, I really hope you aren't that stupid. If so, I feel really bad for you. Good luck at life, you'll need it.

community college! it's a waste to spend money on a four-year school right out of high school, since most people change their majors and end up having to be in school much longer. take your general ed at a community college, work to save up money, and then transfer to a university when you actually know what you want to do and have the means to pay for it.

at least your parents had even considered paying for anything. YDI for being spoilt and expecting anything from them.
