My dad told me that in at least a few years I will need to refinance my condo, but to do that I need a job. Which just adds more stress to my being without a stable job. I actually asked my dad what would happen if I couldn't refinance by then and from his response it wasn't good. I panicked thinking I would have to sell my condo since I would have to downsize my living situation. My dad said he would pay up so I could refinance but I don't want to depend on my parents too much as it is. Plus, my dad has been talking about retiring. My parents shouldn't be financially supported me. But I couldn't say anything since I was about to cry over my money issues.
The money I use to live off on is investments that should be my retirement fund (even though I have an IRA) and I loathe dipping into my investments to sell off shares so I can money.
I even told my parents I'm to the point to walking into a retail store and personally ask if they are hiring and then introduce myself (so they are much more willing to hire me). Online applications are nice and easy but its basically a computer taking your info and its like winning the lotto to get interviewed or hired.
I think in my next milestone, I'll rent, not own. Responsibility of paying a mortgage can be a PITA.
