Yesterday my dad enlisted my help shopping for a couple outfits to give my mom for her birthday. He also used that as an opportunity to inform me that I will not be moving back home and living without cost.
It's not as bad as it sounds.
My step-grandma Hannah's condo finally sold and now my dad has her money in an account with our bank. He was talking about just paying off my Visa (my main headache) and then I'll pay them back and he'll just put the money back into her account. I like that idea because then I'll be saving $40 a month in finance charges. Hopefully I can get him to do that this week. That would rock.
Also, he says that I am going to give him $250 a paycheck and then he is going to use that money to save for me for when I move out and also to help pay off the Visa.
So they are not actually keeping money, just not allowing me to get into the habit of just carrying around money. However, little do they know that I already have several other credit cards floating around that I have outstanding balances on. I'm going to do some math but I think I'll still be able to put more money towards my credit cards and lower my debt; especially if I get a second job.
At least I'll have one month of no rent that my parents won't take to use on a few credit cards.
In other news. Today I was left by myself to deal with a bunch of technicians. The other girl that works in the morning called in ... at 8am. When she was supposed to be there at 7:30. And our final softball game is tomorrow night ... at 9:15pm. Needless to say I'm working the later shift tomorrow AND my aunt is going to pick me up in the morning & drop me off. Hooray for saving a day of gas! Although gas is lower. I was actually able to get it for $4.08 yesterday. I know that's not the type of thing that one should rejoice over but it made me feel happy.
Laundry time.
