### 3/5 — Help

*2023-06-13*

I spent all my life saving on this app. My parents said they will kick me out because i stole every penny they needed to pay their bills, including their cash reserves for this app. They said that because of me they are going in dept. They are also planning to sue me for $50k because of how much dept i put them in. I also used my brother’s college savings to pay for this app. This isn’t a review it is a cry for help.
