ok, so this last year i've been doing REALLY good financially. looking after stuff, saving and what not. the only time i had less then $2000 in my account is when i bought a motor for the stanky. needless to say, i've been very happy with the way i've been dealing with my money, and for being only 18, i thought i was on the right track towards being in a good position to move out of my parents home.

so it started about mid-january, i was still doing great, and had about 4 grand in the bank when my mom needed to borrow $600. i knew she wasn't doing too well, so of course, without even questioning, i let her borrow the money. well, about two weeks later, she needed to borrow money again, only this timw it was $1600. slightly hesitant, i gave it to her, she assured me i would see it again, and i wasn't really worried until directly after i bought my motor, she needed to borrow another $600. now mind you i am not pissed at my mom in any way. she works hard, makes good money, and is very honest, and i knew she just got in a tight spot, but it was starting to bring me down. my money was leaving me just as fast as i got it, and it kinda sucked lol. but thanks to starting a new job a week earlier then expected, i needed to buy about $400 worth of tools with the $600 i had in my account, then this and that happens, and here i am today sitting down, wodering how im going to pay my phone bill, i just cashed a paycheck yesterday, but already it's almost gone. my insurance is now lapsing because i can't afford to pay it all right now.....im pretty worried. i love my mom and she's great, but jesus man, just a month ago i was fine, and now my mom's kinda draggin me down with her. now im adding up my bills and i dont even know if i can sort this out even with next weeks paycheck coming too.

like i said, sorry for the vent, but i had to get it off my chest. thanks for listening guys i appreciate it.

Can't take money from an empty piggie bank. I understand hardship but it sounds like you have given all you have. I would give either one of my parents what they need... including my dad 15k which I will never see again... but anyways... As hard as it is you have to look out for your own wellbeing too.

The rule of thumb is when you lend money to family members just consider it a gift b/c the chances of ever seeing it again are slim and none.

yeah, i dont really care i f i ever see it again, i just hate that im being dragged down as well. im glad i dont have more bills and stuff otherwise i'd be completely screwed right now.

Oh So True... EXAMPLE: my Older Brother Works At Fords(Mind you $29/hr) i dont work Much.. He needed 2000 to go on vacation, i tried getting him a hook up at the bank that is my own. (Just tryen to help him out).. Well the Bank said No Soup!.. i felt bad Gave him 2000 of the Mustang loan, (that was almost paid off).. that was back in FEB.. its now April he told me he was gonna pay it off in 2-4 months.. hes only Given me 450.. im not pist But ive already Paid twice that, he still lives at home new ford 500 is all he has.. not that many Bills.. he Should of already had that loan paid Mostly off by now.. Nope.. then he comes back with a new pair of okleys MP3 sun glasses and 30gig i pod... i was Pist.. im not worried about it, ill pay it off if i have too.. But Moral is 29\hr Him some weeks 0 for me.. he should have been more responsible then he is..

i appreciate your ftw-ness dude but i pretty much got everything i need. thanks a lot though man

money sucks. big time. im getting used to my stuck (totally dead) strut in the left front, buying gas in quarters, and living paycheck to paycheck, only being worth around 20 dollars most of the time. it was scaring me for a while so ive been doing better. im holding around 100. i cant wait to make good moeny for working.

anyways good luck with everything. hope it all works out.
