You know what you want, but how long can you wait?

I know this is a bit late but I’ve been busy with a lot of stuff, both good and bad. Let’s start with the good things. One of my sisters had a baby boy 2 days ago and he is beyond cute, but that has taken up some time.

I’ve also just recently found out that I got a B on my last econ final that I didn’t even think I was gonna pass.

Moving on to the bad stuff, my phone has been at the store for service/reparations for the last month and a half. I’ve gotten it back three times but the problem has still been there so it’s now the fourth time it’s in (within this month and a half). So now I’ve gotten tired of it so I’ve enlisted the help of a person that helps consumers when they have problems with things they’ve bought. So now we’ve threatened the store to take this matter to the National Board for Consumer Complaints. Hopefully it will all be solved soon.

Moving on to the question;
Chris: I think charities are good and if I had more money I would support the ones that I believe in. But I would never give money to a charity just because you should if I don’t believe in what they are doing.

New question: Which one of your birthdays do you remember the most and why?

Decisions!

Tonight I was proposed with a very interesting financial offer from my parents. Essentially they would help fund my new car if I agreed to move back in with them for at least a year. I currently have an aging vehicle that is on its last leg. Don't get me wrong, I love my car, but realistically it is getting to the age that it could fail at any moment and is well past its prime.

From a financial perspective it makes logical sense to move back home since I would save a significant amount of money and actually be able to afford things. The other hope is that if I do move back, I would work a lot less during the school year and actually have adequate time for my studies.

This is all for the trade off of my freedom, and the hope that I would actually be able to stand living at home. I'm generally an independent person, and if things could stay that way while living there and they didn't get in my way to much it could be tolerable. But I will certainly need some time to think things over and make some sort of a decision.

I'll skip a question today since I asked the last one.

The condensed answer of my question is that yes I do support charities, but to an extent. I generally only donate or help out specific causes and efforts.
