If my daughter told me that I'd be over the moon with happiness for her. The last thing i want for her is to have a huge debt when she's done university. <br />Obviously your mom is distracted by other issues, I hope she can eventually be happy for you.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803104035204416080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254796351879341284.post-89793411770669399532011-04-23T10:01:58.264-04:002011-04-23T10:01:58.264-04:00Thank you so much for the advice, I agree with you...Thank you so much for the advice, I agree with you except I’m not very good at keeping my mouth shut.

But, as savingfortravel said, keep your chin up. Soon enough you'll be able to move to your own place. In the meantime though, perhaps consider refraining from the money talk around your mum. Can be difficult, considering finance is obviously a big part of your focus right now, but it might keep the peace a little longer until you're able to move.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254796351879341284.post-22405381419642255602011-04-23T06:47:39.693-04:002011-04-23T06:47:39.693-04:00It is sad when those closest to of us are jealous ...It is sad when those closest to of us are jealous instead of being happy for us.

I've been there as well! By achieving the debt free status it makes people feel negative about not being debt free and to rationalise their debt status they will make excuses or put you down.savingfortravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825279247293889747noreply@blogger.com
