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

Sue. Sure, they're your parents, but God, being inconsiderate like that. It's your future.

That really ought to be illegal. You get screwed if your parents don't meet their financial aid obligations for your education, so there should be some legal requirement for your parents to meet those obligations.

Yeah my dad bought a boat with the money my parents had set aside for college so I can totally relate. My college debt total? Almost the exact amount that damn thing cost. Asshole.

Also um, #38, this isn't about respecting your parents. Yeah they take care of you for 18 years, but is it really necessary to buy a pool and an HDTV with your kid's money? No, and that's super ****** up for them to do that anyway.

What kind of jank-ass pool can you buy for under 10K, along with a tv? I call shenanigans.

Holy crap! The exact same thing happened to me. My I made my parents pay me back, but I charged interest.

That is massive theft and betrayal, and personally that would be the end of any relationship I had with my parents. If you've been contributing (e.g., not just the money THEY put aside), then they are 100% obligated to reimburse you.

that's bullshit, fXck them. i agree with 159 mostly - if my parents ever did that to me i would never ever see them ever again. i also agree with 17. take their ****** credit card and buy 2 pools and 2 HDTVs. see how they fXckin like it.

yeah that is pretty messed up on their part man, BUT...... one thing i will say is 10,000 dollars? that wont cut it man, you'd only last like a year on that, and thats at a junior college with no scholarships. work on getting scholarships or do 4 years in the military to get the MGIB.

tht happend to my sister my parents got a divorce and my dad was saving money for my sisters colledge and my mom asked for the money and my dad gav it to her thinking she would save it well my sister graduated from high school and guess wat no money for her colledge
