I think I only go to LiveJournal when I'm down and out. Or to read up on celebrity gossip. I'm a terrible LiveJournal friend! I can't help it. I'll try to come here more often from now on...
My mom told me that my dad borrowed $1000 from my grandpa and uncle to fix the old VW and my mom had to pay him back for it. And he told her that he was independent by 17 and Brian and I should be helping out a lot more to pay the bills and get extra jobs. I think he makes a very valid point, but for the wrong reason. If I had known he would have cut off child support immediately at 18, I would've started working a lot earlier and taken that fair job.
I'm torn between saving up for a laptop and camcorder, having money to transfer elsewhere/pay for rent/bills when I move out, going to the east coast for vacay this winter, giving all my money to my mom to pay bills and some to my dad so he'll stop asking me for money.
I'm mad because my dad told me it was only $200 to fix the car, then he told my brother it was $500 and finally, he told my mom $1000. I don't think that piece of shit car is worth that much. I could've just bought another car with that.
Phil brought up the point that my financial aid money is exactly for this. I didn't realize being an adult would be so frustrating. I just want to go to New York and visit Rachel and Boston! I want to pick up and leave and start over, debt-free, worry-free.
