I graduate.
Get offered a job. Work in retail management training program for a major company, 45k.
Rent from parents.
Parents strapped with student loans from all their kids, some on me, she tells me she is embarrassed when I say I am paying off my 20k in student loans. I went from 30k to 20k in one year, and I bought a SUV in full for about 13000 with low miles. I continue to pay rent, 400$, and pay student loans. I have 1k in bank at all times for security.
She has a house she can hardly afford and cannot sell because losses in housing market, 7 kids (including me), 30k in loans from sending me to school, in total 80k from sending 3 kids thru school...... and gets in a fight with me today because I said I was upset letting them continue using my credit card (where they pay me back) to make payments whenever they cannot pay so they do not get charged fines for not paying. She tells me she is embarrassed when I tell her I paid off more loans (my only confidence is paying these right now b.c. it takes a lot of sacrifice to do this) and this is because she has so much debt. She tells me I am all about money and I will be very alone later in life with my money. She says she should sign all of her loans to me. I tell her like I said before I went to the school that I would never have went to the school and you told me to go repetitively when I said it was too expensive. She tells me to move out in february (because I have already prepaid to that time frame). I said okay I have friends who are interested in renting with me.
I'm lost. Am I the bad guy by being prudent? Why should I feel bad about making financially sound decisions and trying to succeed in my own life and become financially secure?
I am still in retail management training program 2 years in and so I rent b.c. not placed and not too sure on security level of the job.
My bro. asks to use my credit card all the time too, I feel like the go to guy for everyone for loans.
