    True. Enjoy your youth. You don't get it back. Wish I had attended more shows as a young man, pre-mortgage and family.

    Still, be respectful. Always remember to listen, no matter how much you want to open your mouth and interrupt. It will go a long way.

    Avoid living beyond your means.

    If you choose to do so, you will have to pay for it eventually.
    Agreed! It's all well and good wanting something... but your dad wants the best for you. If you go to PJ, are you gonna need to be hitting him for cash soon? If so I can see exactly where he's coming from. Are you living at home? Your parents shouldn't be funding your habit.

    i appreciate the advice, its good to hear some different perspectives. i'm living with him, so i eat and sleep for free when im home, but beyond that i'm supporting myself. also during the school year he sends me a monthly check to pay for food and school stuff
    beyond that? :D I'm sorry!

    You do know it's not for free, right? Somebody's paying for your food.. it's just not you... so I can see exactly why he'd be pissed off when they're paying plenty of money on you and you just squander yours.

    At your age I wouldn't have given a fuck or seen the hypocrisy in it either!
