Today, I found out my dad spent most of the $500 I earned from mowing lawns on an Xbox 360 for himself. He was the one who encouraged me to put the money in the bank for college and to learn responsibility. I'm 14 years old. He's 37. FML

Today, I let my dad put my dollar in the slot machine for me because I'm not old enough to gamble. I won $200 but he kept it because he "put the dollar in the slot machine." FML

Family matters

Today, in response to the guy whose son told him to fuck off for disturbing his one day off a week, my son spent literally his entire savings account for a deposit on a shitbox one bedroom house because he’s sick of his dad finding him things to do every ten minutes, and I don’t even blame him.

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, as my 12-hour shift was about to finish, a young boy came in wanting to buy a $200 gaming device. His mom said he was purchasing it with his own money, which I found admirable. That is, until he took his piggy bank out of his backpack. FML

See if it's possible to locate the receipt and return it. Otherwise, sell it and pocket the money.

for goodness sakes, I've seen fully grown, adult type people transpose your and you're, there, their, they're, to,too, and two, etc. you're picking on a 14 year old for not being able to do what an adult can't do? give me a break. I'm 57. and before anybody craps me about not capitalizing, my program doesn't do it. and I know my last two sentences began with conjunctions. so what. get a life and leave our up and coming teens alone.

Go to the bank and make sure that from now on, you're the only person with access to your account.

Sorry, but this is impossible until he turns 18. A minor can't open a bank account in their name (a miner can), a parent (or any adult really) has to do it for them.

My parents got fed up when I couldn't get cash out for gas (and whatever else I needed it for) from my savings, and we were able to take them off my account. I was 16. But you might need them present for that.

Except people cannot have their own savings/checking account (without a parents name) until they are 17. I GUARENTEE one of your parents name is on your savings/checking account if you have one and you are 14 years of age in the US.

Well at least you know you won't turn out like him. Strive to be a better dad than your own one when your time comes.

My dad is 39 and I'm 19. My mom is 40. People think we are sisters. Anyway. My parents wouldn't dare touch my money when I had an account as a minor. They would ask me if they could borrow money, and try to pay it back when they could.
