Topic: I'm moving

Well all, it's official. I am going to move half-way across the country (US) to move in with some girl I met on another browser game. Everything has been set in motion. I have told my family "F U all for xyz, and I am moving and there's nothing you can do or say to persuade me otherwise," and made all my necessary arrangements smile.

Whoo hoo!

Re: I'm moving

Dude what

This isn't logical

Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow...

Good luck!

I almost feel like the IC community has been the subject of a five year long practical joke.  What's next?  Deci is actually Obama?  Primo actually is gay?  Stefan will release a free, fully 3D animated version of IC in stores?

Re: I'm moving

Anarchy,

... I don't think IC would interest her, lol. And I quit playing IC a long time ago. The days of tris are over, the game keeps getting modified (like the loss in effectiveness for partax), and I lost passion for the game. Now I just post on the forum.

Fokker,

lol? Marriage only makes it worse, because then the costs and risks are raised even higher.

Salty,

Congrats!

Zarf,

ahahahaha!

Re: I'm moving

I like to hear of people 'doing things' so really enjoyed this thread Justinian I. I do think you giving up your studies is a big mistake though, and it sounds to me like your thinking of the short-term (adventure, love, sex, independence, getting away from your family). Unfortunately, I have found out the hard way, you have to put in hard work to get the rewards. So although leaving your studies may seem like fun with the above benefits, these are only short-term. Your going to get to the other side of the USA, have no study, no money, be bumming around with some girl you just met, living in her house, with no job. Having no job ain't romantic, its stressful, so your going to be forced into getting any job you can, just to survive and pay your way! And before you know it, you will b stuck in some dead end job and have no way out.

I hope you have looked at the long-term side of this. If she is the 'one' then you got many years to go off and live with her and do what you like. If you just want some adventure, fun and escape from your family, which is sounds more likely to be, then you just got one year left to graduate, then you can have all the fun and adventure you want.

So really, for the sake of one year of studying, is it really worth it? I can't tell you what is right and what is wrong, as you know the precise situation you are in, and you will know what is rght deep-down. Its also for you to make your own mistakes, not for others to decide. But you saying in your first post 'I am moving and there's nothing you can do or say to persuade me otherwise' tells me this is a hasty decision and hasty decisions are usually bad news!

My advise is do not sacrifice long-term gain for short-term gain. Because you will regret it! Put in the hours, do your year of study, graduate, then your a free man and can go anywhere and do anything and no one will try and persuade you otherwise! You can't go back in life, so if your going to make a decision like this, give it proper thought and consideration, 'nothing you can do or say to persuade me' tells me you haven't done this so far! Don't be scared to listen other other people's advise, and never rule out being persuaded, because that presumes you know more then anyone else, and no one can make that claim.

Good luck whatever you do and let us know your decision!

You can have sex when you're single, and there a considerable financial risks of being married. You may enjoy some tax benefits, but I don't think they're worth the high risk of divorce. smile

FrozenIce,

Indeed, I am planning to do something costly to my self. Education is an important asset that I have invested considerable effort and money in to, and I am about to put that all to waste. I am also leaving the safety net of my family, and exposing myself to considerable risks and lowering my standard of living to poor from my professional/upper middle class upbringing. But my family has effectively disinherited me and decreased their financial help, increased the demand for me to participate in the family, and they constantly pressure me to earn straight A's, go to grad school and to get an internship.

Furthermore, they ridicule my financial philosophy of "get the highest return for the least amount of investment." They think hard work is some how spiritually significant, and they are nutty Christians with puritanical morals. Honestly, I can not take them any more. I want to get away from them, at all costs. And the reason I said I will not argue them is because they present arguments like "I don't want to get a call from the police and have to identify your body." For me, the material loss is worth the social gain.

'But my family has effectively disinherited me and decreased their financial help, increased the demand for me to participate in the family, and they constantly pressure me to earn straight A's, go to grad school and to get an internship.'

Tbh, thats all kinder insignificant I think! Most people get no inheritance or financial help, me included! You seem to be trying to self-destruct, perphaps cutting off the nose to spite the face. Its a standard kind of rebel and I totally see why you would consider it. But that doesn't mean I agree with it, lol!

Getting on with your parents is never easy and if they are complete opposites which seems apparent here, then its character building! Running away doesn't benefit you or them in anyway.

In life, you will get ridiculed at times, thats the way life is. You've played IC, im sure you have come across dickheads. Thats the world we live in, lol. In IC, when someone calls you a newbie, or tries to wind you up for making mistakes, you don't quit! You become better at IC and prove them wrong. Same with your parents. Quitting just isn't the option.

Seems like the problem is with your parents, and your bringing your studies into this which isn't the right option. If I was you, I would sooner move out and live down the road, continue my studies, get the qualification, then im free to do what I like in one years time. That way, you get some peace and no hassle from your parents, while getting the qualification you have worked hard for so far! Plus, living in a seperate house from your parents will likely improve your relations with them. Sometimes living in the same house causes needless friction where you argue over nothing, living apart can help grow a relationship as you and your parents will get plently of space from eachother, lol!
