Do you not have a debit card? Just spend the money in your savings account. Why do you need 5k? Are you sure you aren't dealing drugs?

you mean doing drugs?

Or tell Dad you want to enjoy some money. If he says no, say that you'll get a loan that you'll pay back later when you get control of the money. He should see it makes more financial sense to just give you the dough up front.

I have 2 debit cards, one for my account at home, which has my primary savings, which is also at the bank where my Dad works, meaning he has access to what I am doing with that money. He wouldn't like me using it for this.

The other one is for my account at school which has significantly less in it.

I'm already putting up about two thousand per year drinking here. This could be used for other things too, like better accommodations on spring break, or renting out a bar for a party, or better nights out to dinner, etc. or...

Sadly, no.

I'm not asking him for any money that he's basically put in a trust for me later on in life to drink now. It's more of a respect issue than a "make financial sense" issue; I don't mind paying back the loan after graduation since I can pay it back way ahead of schedule once I actually have a job. As far as I'm concerned, that money is technically still his until I have complete control over it -- it's just in my name. He earned it, not me.

NozeCandy, this is your best strategy, imo.

Re: Student loans for drinking money
 

I'm considering it, but I think it would just cause him more stress/irritation than anything (and he is under a lot right now) and I wouldn't mind taking a minimal financial hit later to maintain good relations with my parents. Then there's the aforementioned respect issue, as I know he won't view this as a legit use of the money he's saved for me.

you're in [censored] new orleans. get a job bartending. drink while you work. profit.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm serious about this. I graduated from Tulane in 2003. I worked about 25 hours a week bartending at various places over the 5 years I was there; I drank for free, I gave away free drinks, and I was never wont for spending cash.

Is getting a job not an option?

Re: Student loans for drinking money
 

It is, but various scheduling conflicts make it difficult right now. I'm taking a lot of credits and still have an internship, but it should be easier to hold one down if I want next semester. What bars did you work at?

Is that facebook lending thing legit?

If I loaned money, is that basically like a 12% ROI or interest (w/e its called). Thats like 7% better than my money market account.
