My dad is divorcing his third wife. She wants a house out of the deal. My mom is selling a house, the proceeds from which will go to my sister and me. My share will go to pay of my student loans. My dad wants to convince my step mom to buy the house as part of the settlement. That way his divorce settlement would indirectly end up going to my sister and me. One reason he wants to do this is because he knows then I will be able to pay off my student loans and that he won't have to help me, which he offered to do several times in the past.
I am currently moonlighting for a charity he founded, rewriting the copy on its website. He is not paying me, although he did help me while I was unemployed after graduation. Luckily, I was recently promoted at my current organization, a non-profit. Sometimes I find it hard to fill my entire day with work, but I stay there because I was promised a certain number of hours and I'm going to get them. I ask for more work occasionally but not often enough to be annoying.
Recently it was discovered that two young men have been going around the neighborhood claiming to represent the organization and collecting donations. Also today I found out someone stole my credit card information and spent over $1,000 on things like Pizza Hut and Dallas Mavericks tickets. A couple weeks ago Barack Obama was reelected President, defeating a man whose estimated net worth is $250,000,000.
