A Battle over Rent: The Bloody Conclusion

This is an update of this thread.

The parentes and I had a nice long talk over dinner. Accusations were made, shouts, tears, etc. In short, it got messy. The end result? I got bent over a chair... Instead of $300/month they now want $450. I guess I'll have to agree cause its too damn cold to live in a tent or our barn. I might try and shack up with a friend but I dont know if that will work out. Im really at a loss here...I need to save a big chunk of dough for China, not to mention my best friends wedding (and the bachelor party I have to coordinate) and I just dont know how Im gonna be able to do that while paying my 'rents $450 a month. I make $8 an hour, so pre-tax that will leave me with about $850 a month after I pay my parents. After taxes I think that will be down to $600 a month. Since I will be here another 4 months (I leave in the beginning of August) that means I can save up $2400 max if I dont spend a cent anywhere else. Considering that the plane ticket to China is $1000, its not looking good amigos...

edit: spelling
