The talk

So, today I decided to give "the talk" to dad.

First, you have to realize.. I am very BAD at telling off dad. Since, he always twists things around to his reality.

Today I asked him about bills, and he said.. well if you give me $325 this month (the same as before), I should be able to pay all the bills except for aligning my truck. And with the study money ($100) I should be able to do that too. And it will leave me flat broke.

I told him that we need to be able to save up money and that the $325 isn't working for us, as it is half of what I make in a month. And that we will be leaving either this month or next. He just kind of shrugged that off and said well you need to start saving money.

I told him that the $325 isn't the only amount we're paying, we're also paying our 2 Credit card bills and a phone bill which all together end up leaving me about $100 for the rest of the month, which isn't enough to save up for moving. He was like, well the only place I see we can cut back on is food. (Note: we're getting food from the food bank, Eric and I only spend about $20 a week on food....)

UGHHH...

I need out.. and soon.. but I don't know a good place to go or work or anything.... Eric has an interview at Tech sometime this month or next and we need to be able to get him out there.. or already be there... I'm losing my mind here....

Savings : will be at 365 or 390 when Eric gets his money for the handwashing study...
