How nice, but I don't want to be a problem x.x
Julia's parents obviously want me down there to start my life pretty soon. They've always been very supportive of me attending college and has cheered me along the way. I haven't been able to move to do so and they know I can't afford college or anything at this moment, heh all I have on me is 15 bucks and thats left over from my pocket change of a income tax.

Well, now they are offering to help me out finacially, pay my way down there and help me there. They've already offered for me to stay at their place until I get on my feet. This is one of the nicest things anyone has ever tried doing for me. But I don't want to be a problem you know? I mean it's to much to ask of someone to help me out this much. I'm not there responsibilty and don't want them to feel like I am. I've never been one to take just out right handouts for those reasons. But honestly I'll do anything to start my life and am so torn on the subject. I'd get a reliable job but those are rather tough to find these days.

I'm going to try but they seem to want me down there after the 15th, or at least thats what I got from Julia. Which doesn't really give me enough time to raise money to help at all. I could ask my uncle for help but he never responded to my last plea. I don't know, eh money is truly a evil thing. I really hate it and wish life didn't revolve around it. sweatdrop I don't know what I'm going to do yet, I'll have to wait until we talk more about it I guess.

    Oi.
    I hear ya. Money is very evil, and I also wish I weren't so dependant on it.
    *sigh*
    I'm currently broke.
    No money, plus I still owe over $2000 to people.
    A sad state of affairs, I tell you.

    Dude. Not to sound greedy or anything, but if I were in that situation, I'd take their offer. Yes, I would also try to find a good job once I was down there, and yes, I would try to find my own place to live... but you didn't ask them to help, they offered. That right there is something most parents wouldn't do for their daughter's boyfriend... especially with the whole "staying at their house" thing. xd

    If you want my opinion: Get down there. Find the best job you can (or perhaps a part-time job while you look for something better). Take them up on their hospitality, but insist on at least paying rent or something once you get some income and until you find your own place. Let them be generous for now, and then return the favor as soon as possible. And once you do get some extra cash, take the whole family out to dinner or something. Impress them with the fact that you're willing to spend money on them, above and beyond what they're asking.

    Whatever you decide, though - good luck, man! biggrin
