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.

if my parents pulled that shit on me i'd probably press charges. $10,000 dollars is a legitimate amount of money.

Everyone saying: "10 grand isnt gonna make a lot of difference" okay, depending on where you go it may not...but you have to start somewhere and it is still a lot of money.

I really hope I will see something on FML from your parents this time soon that reads something like My son/daughter went into my bank account and took 10,000 dollars without my permission

ugh your parents are assholes. that's so inconsiderate and nasty. demand they pay you back or find the password for THEIR account and take back the $9,900 they owe you. They deserve it. And treat yourself to something nice.

Also to any saying anything about hard work, how do you know this person didn't get a job as soon as they were 16, how do you know the parents even game them any money? Also when a student is in college and living on very little money 10,000 dollars is a lot of money to have taken away from you.

Wow... Tell them that you will never speak to them again if they do not give you the money back. Follow thru with this threat.

To the people saying s/he deserved it bc her parents had access to her account- if s/he's under 18 most banks need you to have your account under your parents account. Thus my mom has a card for my account so I'm sure the OP's situation is like that.

once again, NEVER allow anyone, even your spouse to have access to your finances. You are basically screaming "take my money" to your parents. However its not really your fault, FYL
