Rents want me to get "real" job

I'm in the same situation you are.

I play poker and make lots more than my normal job. But alas, I live under my parent's roof. My dad told me I had to get a job this summer, or leave (I think). I complied and turned to a job I had when I was in high school (subway foods).

Subway foods, wtf? Is this different than the restaurant chain?

I withdrew like 4k to my bank account (which is like 2x what I would make this summer) and my mom was pretty cool with letting me play all summer.

I am very open with my parents (especially my mom) about $$ figures, which might be a big influence in this. As dorky as having my mom on 2p2 is, she sees the variance inherent in poker and understands it a lot more.

Maybe not applicable to everyone, but might be worth thinking about.

Having parents who understand basic math is also a large boon.
