I'm going to be 48 with a new student loan????

So Hayley is going to start school in Dallas towards the end of January. We have gone back and forth on what is going on in both of our lives. First, she was trying to find a roommate, but other kids seem flaky. Then, she wanted to get her own apartment, but have me stay over so she wouldn't be alone. NOW, she has decided she wants a one-bedroom and I'm not even allowed to come over. Come to think of it, my family never did visit my first roach infested apartment off of South Cooper.
 
She has also decided to move sooner rather than later. I asked why and I got a surprising answer. She has decided she is tired of her boyfriend and she'd just like to move away and not tell him where she lives. Wow....but okay. I admire her spunk. I didn't see this coming since she spends a lot of time with him.

I am 48 years old and I'm going to have a student loan. Seriously. Hayley's school costs $20K. We get $0K in grants. Nice. And now because kids are so bad about paying back student loans, the government gives out Parent PLUS loans that are nontransferrable. She will borrow $10k and I'll take a loan out for whatever is left that I don't pay upfront. Urgh.

So my car battery struggles to turnover when it is cold outside. It is fine as long as the weather is good. It is 6 years old, so I thought I'd be proactive and go ahead and replace it before I'm stranded in cold weather somewhere. Well, the battery isn't TOO expensive, BUT, BMW say the battery has to be reprogrammed with the car. It will be more than $600. So tonight, I'm going to look at apartments for Hayley AND an American car for me. Nick is out of town, but he still took time to call and talk to the used car manager at the dealership for me. Love that.

Oh and my 22-year old son would like to know if any of my single hot friends are available to date him. So if any of my 50-year old friends are interested in a much younger and broke boyfriend, please let me know.

When I told my daughter what he said, she laughed and said he should know I don't have any friends. Love my spawn.
