Advice from Amy Dickinson.
Despite the difference in our ages , we have many common interests and enjoy spending time together.Conversation the other night turned to the subject of money.He then offered to let me live with him – for free! Wow!He explained that since he has to pay the utilities, insurance and property tax anyway, my presence would not increase his expenses.I asked him how I could ever repay his generosity. He responded by saying, “you could repay me by being the best possible mother to our future children.
If you had, you’d be skeptical enough to look into “Rob’s” background, social media and dating app presence in order to try to gauge his intent.His suggestion about you being the mother of his children might have been a joke, or a suggestion designed to steer you in a specific direction. Either way, you don’t even know him well enough to decode his intent.That’s the best-case scenario.
The worst-case scenario involves a “missing” poster with your picture on it and a camera crew from “Dateline” showing up at your folks’ door. You should approach friends and family members for ideas regarding your finances. You could get a roommate, a second job, or perhaps ask your folks if you could move in with them in order to dig yourself out of debt.My wife and I are in our late-20′s. We somehow managed to buy our own house last year and are planning to have a child within the next couple of years or so.I would consider this if they were unwell and needing help, but this is not the case.
