After playing this game 2 and a half times, I've learned there is more to life and there are goals I've made and I'm willing to share them
1: stop being rude and disrespectful to family and other people
2:get back in school and get my high school diploma and get a job
3:pay my dad back the money owe him for my lunch's from school
4:start a family and take care of myself for once
and last but not least
5:live long and prosper,die happy and leave my family a history to share

Shouldn't "start a family" come after taking care of yourself?

Well, Gendo Ikari didn't and he's considered a pimp by a significant part of the Eva fandom, so there's that
On topic: The goals are pretty nice although kind of awfully vague. #3 is kind of interesting though.

Yeah, is that really something to be paid back? A dad has an obligation to make sure his kid's fed.

Pretty much, which is why i found it curious. Have to admit i find it kinda badass, even if it is an unnecessary payment (and from what i've heard, young folks don't have much money to spare.)

Curious indeed. I wouldn't pay back obligation.
On the subject of money, my dad owes me $180...I was gonna buy supplies with that.
Boo.

Well, there are some people who feel ashamed of relying or being taken care for by their parents, even for something as basic as lunch money.
And although i doubt it's how it happened, i like to think that he asked for spare change, and when asked how much he needed, he fumbled akwardly before saying "180 dollars"

I wish that had happened. But no. I get money via Google Adsense that transfers to the bank every month after the $100 threshold. Unfortunately, it's a joint account. He uses it to direct deposit SSI checks. They're also mine but he's the payee since I've gotten them all my life and a kid can't be trusted to handle $700 a month responsibly. Just never started the process to switch the checks to my name. But anyway, he takes my money as needed (though I keep telling him to ask first) and I just track the debts. And it was $150. Miscalculation.
