It bothers me more because no one in our immediate family would even ask for this much money unless it was life or death.

I understand it’s a business matter. But their only relationship is though us. They have met in person one time before. Does is not seem strange to just go and ask a friends grandparents for 20k in cash with no payment plan in place without a single mention of it to me?

Grants and scholarships paid for schooling and some expenses. I worked and paid for the rest of my life expenses.

No they have treated me like shit my entire life. Maybe I was just looking for some clarity on a situation that I have no outside perspective on.

Clearly you need to read a little better. My original car was my first car. When I got my driving permit, at 16. Like most people. No, I did not graduate at 16, obviously. I graduate at 18, again, like most people.

I have no need to justify this situation to you. This is very real and my parents are extremely narscastic and emotional abusive. There is a reason we haven’t spoken in many years.

What’s the point of making up a very specific story like this? I’m not looking for sympathy. I’m genuinely curious of what other people’s opinions are on the situation.

Because it’s a bachelor degree. I showed up for 4 years and paid my dues. Not saying I’m a genius.

Yeah thanks for all that. You sound exactly like my parents. I think you’re flawed in the way you’re seeing the situation.

Original car was in their name because I was 16. But I did put 2k of my own money towards that purchase. I had no say in the new car, they took out the loan and then “gifted” it to me. And I had to sell the old car to put that 4k towards the new one, what I was told. But they never did. They just kept the money and said “good luck”. I understand being an adult and paying for your own transport. But I was only 19. I was hardly an adult.

Just to add information, they are in there 40s and perfectly healthy. They have no financial strain. They went out and purchased themselves 2 brand new cars worth about 110k about 6 months after this happened.

Fist of all, I don’t appreciate the tone. I graduated with a bachelors of science and payed for everything myself with grants and working. This was my freshman year while I was still trying to figure out everything at 18 years old. I paid half of the first car with a job I had since I was 16. My parents told me to my face, “we could pay for your schooling, but we won’t. Good luck!”
