Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML

Today, after being accepted into the college of my dreams, I found out that my mom has spent all my college savings on alcohol over the years, and she says that it's my fault for not "helping her get help." FML

Today, I found out I'm on wage garnishment because my mother, who took out a student loan for me back in '05, didn't pay off the $2015 owed when she said she would. I got screwed over financially because of her. 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

Remember the promise you made

Today, my mom decided to go against every promise she's made to everyone once again and left us in financial ruin. How? She took advantage of my kindness, and didn't pay any of the money she owes me for driving my car, and for so much more. I'm more than $2,000 in debt now. FML

Today, my mother asked me if she could borrow $200. Being the lovely daughter I am, I gave her my bank card to withdraw it herself. She gambled it away and maxed my bank account out. I had $1500 saved. FML

Today, after months of helping my mother with bills because she claimed she had no money, I found out she makes way more than what I do. She just wanted my money for alcohol and drugs. FML

Moral of the story: your mom shouldn't have access to your savings account.

This is why I don't have any joint bank accounts... Sorry dude, hope you can get the money back somehow.

How does your mom have access to your account? Are you twelve years old?

If mom's name is on the account then sorry OP, you have learned the hard way. Keep your own account of your earnings , always , even if your married. It is your responsibility to manage this privilege.

I have to ask... Were these funds something you worked for and saved up, or is this money from your mom to begin with? It seems strange that you would let her be joint on your account if she doesn't have claim to the funds.

Okay, so if you are over the age of 18, go in secret and make your own account. Then remove the money from the savings and put it into your own.

Go to the bank with the mother, clean out the account in front of her then open another. If she can sign for money, they'll need her to sign to close it. On second thought, clean out the account a day in advance so she can't try to stop the transaction. But definitely open a new one while she's there. Just to drive home the point.

I had an ex whose mother would had access to her savings account. I never understood why. It was nothing but a constant source of hassle when her mom would "borrow" money.
