One in particular had a huge house in Beverly Hills.

It felt like sleeping in a mall after closing time whenever I stayed at his place before games.

I ran into him years later.

One of them had a modded-out, brand-new BMW.

It was loud, annoying, and screamed, ‘Yeah, look, I’ve got money!’

This was a six-figure car, no doubt.

He went to college and failed all of his classes.

He offered to pay her to stop, using my bank account.

I completely cut my son off, and he has NEVER used my money again.”

I let them know I can give my money to anyone or any organization I want.”

The whole trip, she sat by the pool and was on Facebook.

The professor jokingly said, ‘Hope you were using Wi-Fi.’

She had no idea what data charges were or roaming.

She thought that a phone bill of $800 a month was normal.

Her dad did not agree.

He cut her off.”

“One of my college roommates was very rich growing up.

“This actually served as a wake-up call.

She’s doing pretty well for herself these days.

We’ve kept in touch, and last we talked, she was considering grad school.”

My parents handed it over but then cut my sister off.

Today that portfolio would have been worth enough to buy a rather large house.”

“A guy from my robotics group had his entire life handed to him.

His son decided it would be fun to go on a school trip to Philly acting rich as hell.

“My child was in high school when I cut him off.

When they were denied entry, he said, ‘Just let us in!

If you do, my parents will pay you some nice cash.’

The bouncer laughed in his face and told him to leave.

“My husband had what I thought was a really strange clause in our sons trust fund.

I never understood why.

It was ironclad hes been on his own since.”

His father had cut him off without saying anything, and he just hadn’t noticed.

“I was cut off.

My father owned the patent rights to something you find in every house.

I learned my lesson and never drove again with a drop of alcohol in my system.”

He brought his PS4, only to find all his games gone.

After that, his parents cut him off.”

Somehow he got an ATM card for some account that they either never used or didnt monitor.

We would leave school for lunch, and he would always pay for everyones food.

Sometimes he would just hand you $50 for no reason.

I think he liked being the ‘rich kid’ in school and showing off.

He did this every day for two years.

Eventually, the bank called his parents and asked about the daily ATM withdrawals because it was so suspicious.

He was 18 and had nowhere to go.”

We let him stay with us for a few months for free.

I felt terrible, since I had taken so much money and free stuff from him over the years.

He basically had zero life skills and had a really hard time holding a job after that.

This was 20 years ago, but I dont think he ever recovered from it.”

One of the rich ones had the last name MacDonald and his family was loaded.

Mac was a trust fund baby and never bothered to do anything but suckle from the family teat.

We go out for drinks, and Mac shows up.

This, dear friends, pushed Mac over the edge.

For some reason, rather than taking a swing at Scott, he hit Cory.”

“Now, friends, this is important because Cory works for the Post Office.

Not as a postman, or delivery driver, or even in station management.

Several people dogpiled Mac.

The local PD arrived, and Mac found out that he had sucker-punched a Federal agent.

The police took everyone’s statements, and Cory definitely wanted to press charges.
