I agree totally.........it's time you quit living off your parents and realized you cannot take vacations if you aren't earning money. It's not fair to them; they will need that money for their later years. Yes, you pushed too far.Originally Posted by calico2222
Honey, I think you are pushing it. I know you want to see your girlfriend, but sometimes you have to sacrifice in real life. I know you said your parents had money in a previous thread. That is fine...but that doesn't mean they have it in their bank account. Most likely they have invested most of it which means withdrawaling it will impose heavy penalties plus may put them into a different tax bracket for this year. There are a lot of things you have to consider from your parents point of view. Your school and living expenses are probably budgeted into their monthly expenses and they can afford that. But the extra trips may be strapping them.
You are old enough to start paying your own way for extra things you want to do. You sound relieved that you didn't get hired. That, to me, doesn't sound like someone that really wants a job.
Is there anyway your girlfriend could come and visit you? That would probably be a cheaper solution. All she would need is gas money, and stay at your place and you could see her.
