So I've been given this wonderful opportunity by my sister and her boyfriend. As I mentioned in a previous entry, they were going to buy a rental property and let me rent it. Well, it's happened a lot earlier than expected. My sister called me on Monday. They bought a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo in Mesa. They want to rent it to me for $750 a month, which is only $100 more a month than I'm currently paying for my STUDIO. I could move in any time after May 1 and I wouldn't have to pay rent until June 1. Sounds great right? Perfect opporutiny to move to a place I've wanted to live for years with a ready made place to live.
Problem: It's going to cost a lot to move. A LOT. Like almost $1500 for the rental truck alone. And I have NO MONEY. Certainly not that kind of money. I could get that money, but not for a month after I quit my job. I'm going to refund my retirement fund and that could be anywhere from $2000 - $6000. I'm waiting on a quote now (could take up to five days). So if someone could LEND me the money, I'd be able to pay it back fairly soon. Like the first or second week of June. It takes 4 to 6 weeks after I quite my job, file the paperwork, to get the money refunded.
So I called my mom and told her that I need to talk to her and my dad tonight. I was going to ask them for money first. Neither of them know anything about this. Her first response? "I hope you don't want to borrow any money, cause I don't have any." So that goes to hell :/ I don't really know who else to ask! I'd hate to lose out on this GREAT chance because of a lousy $2000. As soon as I hung up with my mom, I burst into tears. I'm a big believer that things will happen if they are ment to happen. But I didn't realize I'd already gotten my heart so into this.
Anyone want to donate a few bucks??? ;)
WOOT! I love my sister! I THINK things have worked out I'm going to fly down there, we are going to drive up here, rent a trailer, hook it to her jeep, and drive back down. Lowers the cost to $388 for the rental, plus my plane ticket, plus gas. WOOT! So I can work that, since I won't have to pay rent for the month of May, plus I'll get my $625 security deposit back. I'm going to give my notice to work tomorrow. I've yet to talk to my parents, but I've been waiting for them to call me back all night. My stomach is all in knots about telling them. That's going to be the hardest part!
