juldeaIf anyone is curious why I'm so fanatical on being financially independent, excerpt from a phone conversation with dad:
Julia: It's the starter. Luckily only a $205 repair, I can cover that. It leaves me with less than I wanted to have for the trip, but I won't run out of money.
Dad: Well, I'd like to help you, but taxes hit me harder this year than I thought. I might be able to help some more around the beginning of next month.
Julia: Actually... that might be really nice. I don't know if Adriana is going to want all of June rent up-front at the beginning of the month, and whether I'll have all of that sitting around at that time. I know that during the month I'll make it, though.
Dad: I'll see what I can do. But, honey, you're going to have to start trying...I mean, you do, but... I can't write you off as a tax deduction anymore, you know?
Julia: Yeah, I know.
