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

First of all she's a bitch for spending money like that while in debt, and second of all she should give you more than what you gave het.

You're better off without a cut of the jackpot. It would give you a taste of that honey that puts you on the one-way road to compulsive gambling addiction. You should have inquired about their debts before you forked over the grand. Mr. Slot Machine is not a valid creditor.

Really? You think someone is going to become a gambling addict if they get a share of the proceeds of someone else's gambling? REALLY? Let me guess, you think everyone will become a gambling addict if they gamble even once. I am betting you are a "recovering addict", and I think that because you should like an alcoholic who believes everyone who drinks is an alcoholic and anyone who has a drink will become an alcoholic. Quit projecting your weakness on others.

Family can really suck sometimes - if you were able to choose your family, most people would not choose their own. I would just absoluty bug the living shit out of them unitl they gave you back the original $1,000 and then be done with them. Look at it this way, if they do, or do not pay you back, they'll never ask for money again. Sounds like maybe they have problems managing their funds??? You now have the luxury of telling them to "**** OFF" in a loud and clear voice the next time they need cash.
