!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My dad is giving me the $1000 I gave him from my bonds when he was in such a pinch and paying me the back child support for the three years he was unemployed.

$300 a month. For the next 3 years. Which will get me through, or very close to through school.

Finally a fucking BREAK.

I wanna do something special but IDK what.

I'm trying to decided if I should pay off my credit card (Pro's: Will get that to stop icruing intrest, will be how I pay for the trip next June/July to california, which could be HUGE for faeX) OR buy a scooter (Pros: Less gas use, and no parking fee cause people just park them over Cheery Creek at school)

Look. Things seem to come to all of us in waves. So hopefully it's a good sign.

will your dad acually do this? i now he's had some employmeny issues in the past. i don't want you to get your hopes up for something that couldp possibly flake out in a few months. the worst thing is planning something around someone else who you care about and having them have to pull back for whatever reason.

pardon spelling errors, i'm still pretty drunk from a drinkign game last night lol.

Holy shit. @_@ That's awesome! Congrats!

I'd say pay off your credit cards, though. Interest loads up, but if you don't pay them all off when you should it can affect your credit can't it? It's best to take care of the credit cards first. -nods-

Credit card? It'll look better on your history report for the future, methinks.

Yeah, that's what I decided to go with. Plus, if I'm getting $300 a month afterwards, scooters are only $1000 for the basic and me and bev are gonna split the price when she gets her raise in October, so it actually won't be a huge stretch then to make up my part. I might even be able to put it ON said credit card.

Pay the cards! Pay the cards!

It will help your credit scores, it will cut your monthly expenses, and lower your stress level a LOT. Trust me on this.

BTW, I am still working on the icon... trying to make it animated.

Yeah that's what I decided to do (althougth the bill is only $10-$20 a month), because I have a tooth that needs gone and can use the excess for that and some school supplies/clothes (although school has been kind with books/supplies thus far)

:D!!!! I'm going to upload it to my IJ, is that cool?

I say you pay off your credit card and visit Sonya =D

Scooter is also good though, you can get a honda for under 2000 and i'll be immensely jealous O_O

That is AMAZING. I'm glad your dad is making up for that lost time... that's a very honorable thing to do.

PAY OFF THE CREDIT CARD or at least most of it. That reduces SO MUCH STRESS. Which will make you a happier person, which will score you a 50$ an hour job, which will then buy you LOTS of scooters.

/hyperbole

yeah I'm gonna put it into the credit card, mostly (What I'm not using to pay off back rent and get my tooth pulled.
