Money: Poof, gone!

Poof, gone!

By Me - 12/09/2011 07:36 - United States

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 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, my sister finally broke down and told me that our dad gambled away of all my college savings, and I would have to pay for school the best way I can. They have known for months, and when I asked why nobody told me, the reply was, "You're a college boy, we thought you would figure it out." FML

Thievery

By ExtemelyBroke - 06/06/2009 02:24 - United States

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 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 finally went to Home Depot to buy a chainsaw to cut down the tree leaning dangerously over my garage. When I got home, I found the tree had fallen and taken out the roof while I was shopping. FML

Why did your parents have access to it in the first place if it's money YOU were saving. My parents can't go into my accounts.

Here's my answer; SUE THEIR THEIVING ASSES!! Require that they not only pay you back every cent, but also intrest as if it were a loan & for ownership of the beach house! Fix it up & rent it out!

If it's money you've been saving it sucks, if it's money they saved you gotta ask the question was there a reason for this? Did the op decide not to go to college or was not accepted anywhere and still expected to get the cash? Not enough information

Wow that's definitely deserving of a lawsuit...And they had the gall to ask for more, the leeches. Lawsuit? Seriously, if your parents are childish and immature enough to steal from your college fund to buy a beach house, then I wouldn't try to work out something with them. I would go to the law.

If they used your money to buy the house, isn't it YOUR house? You should sue them for the house or force them to sell it and give you the money. I am so sorry that happened to you.
