The post says "down 64k". That means dad lost sixty four thousand dollars gambling. regardless of who earned the money or how much is left that sucks!

Sucks to have a loser like that in the same gene pool.

I highly doubt that you had 64k+ of your own money put away for college. This was your daddy's money so quit acting like it actually belonged to you. And guess what! now you get to learn some responsibility and pay your own way through college and take out loans like most other people do. So why don't you quit whining you rich **** and get over yourself.

If the OP's parents gave them 64k+ for school.... THEN IT WAS THEIRS! Quit being a prat that is jealous because not everyone should have to take out loans for school if there are other options.

but I guess you can't say anything coz it was his money to begin wit huh. spoil!!!

Umm... where in this post does it say the kid was in high school? My husband spent a couple years living at home with his parents and working full-time in order to save money to pay his way through college. He accrued a lot of money in two years. And it was a smart way to do things, because... guess what? No debt for him now. OP, that sucks. Even if it was your dad's money, he'd promised it to you for college, and now you have to make other plans for paying, or choose a different and less expensive school. Also, it's not like he took it out to pay for an emergency medical bill, or to make house payments, or to replace a car that broke down. He gambled it away like a dumbass. Way to be responsible.

don't worry. college kids just smoke have sex and drink anyway. @_@

I seriously hate everyone saying things like, "ZOMGG yer s000 spoiled its his $$$ you should be grateful! omgomgomgomg." You all do realize, that if it was her dads money, he most likely told her he would pay for college. Which would mean she didn't save anything of her own because she thought her parents were paying all, or most of it. Which would mean that now, she has no money to go to school. Which sucks. Not everyone is poor white trash like you guys. And there is nothing wrong with parents paying for their childs education.

Well, if you were depending on your parents' wealth to coast through college, I'd say that you only have so much room to complain. If it's your money entirely, then you should be dragging out of his ass. Then again, if it's entirely your dough, then why the hell should he have any access to it at all? If the latter is the case, you really need to be more careful about your belongings. It's a shameful reason for a reality check, but FYL anyway.
