Today, I gave over $100 to my online friend in presents for Christmas, only to find out he can't use any because of his strict parents. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I realized that not only did my parents not get me anything for Christmas, they also stole the $500 my grandparents gave me to buy a computer. FML
Today, I found out my school's financial aid had a "misunderstanding" of my finances, I can no longer afford to pay half of my bills or pay for Christmas. FML
Today, I thought my mom and I could put aside our differences and open our Christmas presents. When she opened mine, she turned to my dad and said she didn't want the present, so I could give it to someone else. 'Tis the season. FML
Today, my mom and I went to Best Buy for some Christmas shopping. She picked up some presents for me and told me not to look at what she was buying. When we got to the register, she didn't have enough money, and I ended up having to buy my own presents. FML
Today, I discovered my mom has been using my credit card to buy everyone's Christmas presents. FML

Today, it was sister’s birthday. I decided to give her money instead of a present, because I couldn’t come up with a gift idea. When she opened the envelope and took the $100 out, she looked at me and asked me if this was the best I could’ve done. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend wrote 50 dollars on my gift card just to look generous, it's really only worth five. I found this out after I tried to buy an arm full of clothes. FML

I will be your online friend. I don't live with my parents and will accept over $100 in gifts. I prefer gift cards they are everyone's size. I think it is crazy they can spend so much money on a friend, but at the same time the friend lives with their parents.

LOL I have a friend that ever since he was young his parents didn’t sallow him to use money almost at all except for the occasional hangout with friends and the pizza\mcdonalds every day and the hundreds of dollars he saved up are all going to his collage fund

OP - Real friends are people you meet face to face and get to know. It was very foolish to give such an expensive gift to an “online friend”. Consider this a learning experience - You could lose a lot more.

Stfu a lot of times online friends can be better than any friend you ever meet face to face, not like you’d know that though

I’ve had some of the same online friends for almost 20 years. We have gotten to meet each other in the past 10. It’s not uncommon for us to send expensive gifts back and forth. They’ve been there through good times and bad. One came to live with us and is like a son. You can make teal friends online. You just have to be careful not to think everyone you get along with online is a real friend.

Well-meaning but very foolish. Online friends can be fun but unless you’ve actually met them face-to-face not the best idea . Even then $100 is a lot even if you know the person extremely well . More so in this instance since you didn’t know the person well enough to know that a gift like that wouldn’t be accepted. Your online friends may not be who they claim . Be wary of who you gift money to or things that can be sold especially online .
