Today, I lent my sister $1000 because she and her husband were in some debt. They used the money to go gambling in Vegas and won a major jackpot. They won't even give me a cut. 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, I placed $20 in a slot machine at a casino and in a matter of 5 minutes lost it all. My sister then sat at the same machine, put her $20 in and quadrupled her money. FML

Today, I went to the casino and put $500 into a game and lost it all. I tried another $100 and won it all back, plus some. Instead of walking out ahead, I kept trying to hit bigger and ended up losing all my rent money. Rent is due and now I can’t pay it. FML

Today, my sister stole my credit card, used it to rack up a small debt, then told my mom she will pay me back in the future one day, “happily”. But not right now because she has better things to spend her money on. 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

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

Scammers all the way down

By Anonymous - 15/09/2024 10:00 - United States

Today, and for the past 2 years, my aunt has owed me money. She just admitted that she fell for a scam, and gave the scammer more than double the amount I'd loaned her. I felt bad for her… until I realized something. When I asked how she had it to give to them, but not to pay me back, she got mad and hung up on me. FML

That's stupid. You should at least get back the money you "lent" them.

I see key word "lent" not "gave" I do not think they understand the concept of lent

Whenever you find money at their house take it.

You shouldn't get a cut of it. They took the risk, not you. You are entitled to your $1000 back, but no more. If they had lost it at the casinos, would you have shouldered some of that loss?

Wait a while, the sister will waste the money and be in worse condition later. I've seen it again and again, if you've not had any time to change and did not work to change, you will do the same thing again and again. Look up poor lottery winners, most end up broke or worse than before.

What ever happened to doing nice things for loved ones without hanging it over then when they have some good luck. I feel bad this happened, but move on

Unless you had a verbal or physical contract that states that they HAVE TO pay you back then they owe you nothing OP.

If they returned the $1000, that's all they owed you. Sucks, but that's life. Just refuse to loan them any more in the future, because while they got lucky once, it was terribly irresponsible to gamble debt money.
