Does it seem that way? We really don't... ^^; Right now what we have to work with is my mother's income, which is about $1,000/month. My stepdad makes good money but he has never given us anything (he's an abusive, controlling bastard). Actually he's the reason we're leaving in a hurry, things have gotten really bad. The problem is that we can barely afford any place out here. I'm not sure what rent's like where you live, but in this area the average price of a 1br apartment is somewhere between $1200 and $1500.
My stepdad did cough up tuition money for this quarter when he realized we were really set on leaving as some sort of pathetic attempt to make up for the things he's said and done recently, but it's the first time he's EVER paid for anything for me.
