Last year I didn’t have a job, but I lied to my mom and lead her to believe I did to get her off my back. I had just come out of a really hard personal devastation in my life, and I went into a depressed mode. I lived off of what I had saved up. I felt embarrassed and depressed about the situation, and my mom’s the type that isn’t understanding, and can really make a person feel much more depressed and stressed out, so I lied to keep her off me. I lived on my own, so it was easy.
Now it’s income tax time, and she’s been hounding me to give her the information so she can do the paper work. And I’m assuming she also gets some sort of benefit from having me listed as dependent, even though I’m really not anymore. I’m not sure what to do. I saw that she got a paper from Chase bank that looked like an account summary sheet with my name on it that said something about the income tax, listing $12 (compared to my sister’s $87 who worked about 3-4 months part time doing retail work). I don’t know where $12 came from. I now live with my boyfriend (and working + student), and I was thinking of telling her we just did our taxes together / online through turbotax.com (I have to file anyways, even if I didn’t work) … but if she gets some sort of tax rightoff, she probably needs my W2.
I know the logical answer is to tell her I didn’t work for a year, but if you knew my mom you’d know the nightmare it would bring. I wish I could just brush this embarrassing thing away and move on from it. File my taxes on my own like every other personal financial thing of mine that I handle. She’s not involved in my finances anyways. Maybe I can tell her I did a lot of freelance web design like I used to, and that’s why the bank summary / lack of W2 reflects no job?

Help! I just received a letter from my school saying that my financial aid award is available to view online, checked it, and only shows a loan! My EFC is 0, and my fafsa told my that I would be able to receive my whole COA(cost of attendance) through the Pell grant, and it shows only a Direct Loan for 3500. Obviously I would rather not receive the loan if I am able to get a grant for what I need. It also does not show my Hope GED 500.00 certificate that I had sent into the school earlier.
What is going on? Do grants take longer to process into a student’s aid package or something? I emailed my financial aid office days ago and still haven’t gotten a response.

I have a girlfriend with whom I’ve had a serious relationship. In considering the future, however, it seems that the concern about finances comes up every once in awhile. Recently we’ve been able to talk about it a lot, and for me, I don’t want it to be something we especially strive for. That is to say, there are many important factors in life. Financial security may be one of them, but in terms of priority, vocation, love, family, time for family, religion all far exceed my pursuit of financial security. I am seriously considering spending a considerable amount of my time doing relief work abroad in the future, and I expect my financial situation to fairly tumultuous during that period.
My significant other, however, seems to value this sense of financial security. I don’t want to generalize, but is this something that is reasonably expected of women? She says she wants a big house, to live in the suburbs, and live the typical life. I just see this kind of life style boring, and to a large degree: meaningless. It’s not that I am fearful that I won’t be able to provide the her expected life, but it’s more a difference in our attitudes that I find clashes so jarringly.
What am I to do? Should I come to accept her views? Is it possible to compromise our values?
Is it unrealistic to expect my SO to share the same values of financial security as I do?

Okay, so I like this guy but he doesn’t know it. Everybody says he likes me. We talk to each other a lot because he is my locker neighbor and are assigned seat we sit next to each other. I really like him. I want to tell him i like him but I am really shy. I mean really shy. Sometimes I get deducted points on presentations because nobody can hear me. I have a bad reputation with liking boys because last year i had a crush on this guy for 3 yrs and I would stock him and tell him I love him, and I think that guy spread a rumor about me doing that. I am really scared to tell him i like him. At my school only popular people date and the guy I like is not popular and neither am I. What should I do? I don’t have a phone yet so I cant give him my number. My email is real embarrassing so I don’t want to give him that either. What should I do? How should I break the ice. I don’t want him to feel occward or anything because we see each other every day. He is in my first period class and 6th period. What to do. I’m real nervous. I love him.

I recently took a break from all these doctors visits just because it was hurting me financially and emosionally now I’m seeking for help since I want to get back on track. I just don’t know where to turn to. Either get a loan to cover cost and be in debt OR ???

My story is simply about, there are these 3 children that have a good life, until something bad happens, their parents die in a house fire. There house burns to flames, as their parents die with the flames. The 3 children were at school as that happened. So, they happen to live on the streets because they ran away from their foster parents. They go to this weird town with awkward things happening. They live in a box for a while. The oldest girl works for an old man, she cuts his lawn for him and makes £30 each month.
That is basically it so thanks for taking the time to read it.
