  I find it highly ironic your using an alt account to hide behind. I won't answer till you say it on your main.

  You know who that is ._.
  
  Also, theres no irony in it. I think its always so sad to see so many people use the word irony where it shouldn't be.

  What the hell are you spending all your money on if you think $300 rent is worth complaining about?

  
  Ugh.
  
  There's a lot of reasons people might not have money. There are other less obvious, yet still mandatory expenses that individuals may have. Loans, certain kinds of insurance, health things, etc. One person may very well not have to pay for a lot of these and maybe he has to pay for all of them. Or maybe he's just so busy with things that he can't work enough to pay for them. Maybe he does have the time and isn't able to work whenever he gets the chance because people haven't hired him in those timeslots. Maybe he just has other random financial obligations.
  
  There are so many factors involved in this.

  Would be the correct use of the word irony, if I was the one who made the alt account.

  The mods will figure that one out, so long as the person didn't use a proxy. Anyway, regardless of who it is, you should just PM him next time or something if you don't like posting unpopular opinions on your main.

  Surprise text from my dad

  
  
  Fuck outta here.
  
  If my Dad said that to me, I'd say peace and be out on the streets with my DS, chilling.
  
  
  That's not at all a part of growing up.
  
  Parents are supposed to be there to help you through those steps, not launch you into the wild. What are we now? Birds?
  
  Your Dad has such a weird view of how to raise children. You don't throw someone into the pool to teach them how to swim. Yeah, some people learn that way, but not everybody does. You teach 'em step by step and hope that one day if you do throw them into that pool, they'll manage to get out.
  
  As for rent, you'd better off gathering a group of your co-workers and being like, "We should get a place, guys. I need out." Didn't Kate wanna move out too or something, last time I remember?

  Not only is his dad's conditions totally fair, but actually GOOD.

  Don't be ridiculous. He's not paying utility, 300 dollars a month is mad cheap even if he shares an apartment with room mates, and given that he's gotta throw in tons of start up fees, deposits, credit check (and denials, mind you), its going to run way higher than 300 to start living by yourself.
  
  They're even paying for his food for a year. Food, even if you keep to a minimum, is at least 150 dollars a month. Thats about how much I was spending eating like 1500 calories a day, with the cheapest knock off brands.
  
  Living at home = 300 dollars a month + everything else he needs to pay for
  Living out of home = Easily 600 dollars a month + everything else he needs to pay for initially
  
  Seems you haven't encountered independent life yet to be giving ridiculous advice like "move out" when he's not ready to. He needs to go to school, he won't be able to work full time, his current full time job doesn't pay very well, he can't actually fund himself if he moves out now.

  I'm the most financially stable person outta my friends. Kate has bad luck with jobs keeping her, because she wants to be in the restaurant business while shes in school. That, and she goes to school full time, on top of having 3 part/flex time jobs. The other friends I talked to are paying for school themselves, supporting their family, or moving on with their lives (ie: engaged, have a baby, etc)

  It's the way he goes about it which is questionable. That, and you should have a conversation with em, omg I want to kill myself afterwards. Though, yes, it is a a whole lot better then some situations.

  I already know all this, though I do have enough saved up to get me started off pretty well. It's gonna be me and 2 other friends living with each other at some point because we've had enough with our crazy family.
