How to give them the hint?

brianthebard · 07-09-2008 07:50PM #1

Ok I'm back at uni,which means poorness.I have to pay 250 quid in levies,leaving me 17e in the bank.I'm going to get a loan but that takes a while.The good news is my granddad left me some cash-the bad news is I'm not supposed to know(my sister was given her's last year).Even badder my ma isn't going to give me the money 'until I need it'.How do I give them the hint that I need it now,without asking and getting my sister in ****?Thoughts?

Just ask for some cash to get you started! Not a big deal unless you've drank the money you saved for collage allready, Anyway as a student you should be able to live for a month on €17.

ask your parents for a loan of a grand or two and say nothing about the inheritance.

Leave a copy of your bank statement somewhere where yore ma's likely to find it

"Jaysus Ma, I'm skint. I've only €17 in the bank after paying Uni levies. I dunno what I'm going to do in between now and whenever the bank decides to give me a loan."

Rob a securicor van for the moneys then blame it all on your parents in the trial. Make them feel really guilty.

Put up your picture and profile on a rent boy website and set it as the default home page on all browsers on family members' PCs. When they spot it tell them you needed the money. Hopefully they'll hand over the inheritance before your sphincter is the size of the Grand Canyon.

Tell them you're considering getting a student loan because you're really stuck and ask them if they'd be the required guarantor.

Am I stating the obvious or missing something?

If they don't have the money they may just point you toward the inheritance as the only other option they have to help their son go through college - isn't this what you want to happen?

jester77 · 07-09-2008 08:08PM

Tell them you are taking a year out to work as you can't afford college!

FlutterinBantam · 07-09-2008 08:12PM

Get a goddamn part time, job you lazy bollix.

Thats the way we all did it.

What do you think you are?? the first guy even to go to college??

Wise up there horse.

You know what .. **** it. Tell your parents you want the money. Your sister will survive.

The suggestion was to ask for a loan from your parents - not even mention the inheritance. In doing so (as you've said they don't have the money) they will probably mention the inheritance to you rather than have you "suffer" through college.

Anyway, I'm going out. Just ask your parents for the feckin money.

TerrorFirmer · 07-09-2008 08:30PM

250? That's nothing! How could you be skint after paying so little? I had to pay 1,100 registration just there.

brianthebard · 07-09-2008 08:42PM

My actual fees are 6+ grand,im deferring that and the coco will pay for it.250 is a lot when you haven't bden working.And bah,i just asked him to guarantor a loan but no mention of giving me money.

hi ho, hi ho... it's off to work you go! Get a part-time job as already mentioned. Maybe if your parents see you making the effort they might
reward you.

wtf?Who said i won't get a job?This is money i know is mine.Even if i started a job yesterday i wouldn't be paid for a fortnite.I'm going teaching grinds if you must know.Reported for abuse.

Magpie! · 07-09-2008 08:56PM

No No No. Save the inheritance for later. You can get better value out of it than blowing it on a couple of weeks in college.

Most of the banks are pretty quick to turn around loan applications now. I applied for an AIB one online early in the summer and had the money in my account in about 72 hours.

In the meantime 12c Tesco noodles FTW

Try make it through the rest of the month with 17euro, it'll teach you to be extra careful with your money in future and you won't end up ****ed like this again.

well thats good to know bout the loan.Its not a big inheritance though,so its not going towards a house or anything!Dord,most of the money went on rent and deposits,gym membership and the laptop.All pretty important.

AlmightyCushion · 07-09-2008 09:10PM

Just get someone to break your legs and when your parents ask what happened tell them you owe loansharks some money. They'll definitely give it to you then. Also if you find someone drunk enough they may be willing to pay to break your legs. Double win! You'd be a sucker not to really.

Magpie! · 07-09-2008 09:11PM

Even if it just pays for a plane ticket to start you off travelling after college it'll be better spent than a couple of weeks on the beer.

I came into a couple of bits of money in college and once its in your pocket at all its spent. But some of my best memories are from when i was skint. Blagging my way into parties and events to get free booze!

lolz when you put it like that...Wait why don't i just rob the drunk??Magpie! It wouldn't be beer money,most of it anyways,but i appreciate what you are saying.

You could say to your parents "Grandad left my sister money, did he leave me anything?" maybe do it in your sister's presence so if they say he didn't leave you anything your sister can confront them later on and tell them to stop lying and give you the money.

5starpool · 07-09-2008 10:01PM

It's your bloody money, you are over 18 (I assume), so why the hell didn't they just give you the money when it was left to you?

falipo · 07-09-2008 10:18PM

Your gym fees were hardly an essential if you were that hard up...

brianthebard · 07-09-2008 10:21PM

Totally was tbh.

connundrum · 07-09-2008 10:53PM

Man up and explain the situation to them.

Or go back in time three months and get a job like you should have done in the first place.

/swots off excuses.
