Writer's Block: Unlikely Benefactor

1. I pay off my parents' debt.
2. I pay for my brother to move into his own place.
3. I donate the rest to Planned Parenthood, breast cancer research, and my local animal shelter.

So, this just happened.

Otis: *won't stop yowling*
Me: Aw, come on, it's not time for dinner yet, Otis! Stop crying!
Otis: *keeps yowling from under the dining room table*
Me: *leans forward on the couch to stare at him* What is your prob--
Dexter: *bounces past on the way to the bathroom*
Me: ... oh. *hurries off to catch him*

Yeah, #1 would have been the entirety of my answer. So they could a) pay of the loans they took out to pay for my college education, b) pay off the mortgage they took out for same, and c) put some money away for a decent retirement home, and/or so they can retire early. They don't even need to guilt me about any of this stuff-- I do it entirely on my own.

Heh, I think #2 is part of the helping-relieve-my-parents'-stress plan. The three of them can't live in the house together as adults any more than my parents and I could.

Granted, I think paying off my own debt would do a lot for that as well (because my mom will find any excuse to worry and if my brother's out of the house and they have no bills, it falls to me to give her something to stress out over), but since I'm not allowed to take care of myself, everyone else will have to do. :)

Your answer looks like mine. Pay off my parents' debt, give my dad money to get the hell out of Dodge, and give my brother some cash to pay off his debt/make a few movies/get his own place. I guess everyone's family is fucked right now, eh?
Do you ever let your chins out to play on purpose? I feel guilty that I let mine out for like 20 minutes every 3 days instead of an hour a day like I keep hearing is recommended. :/ If you don't let yours out at all and they are not dead from boredom yet, I guess it's not that big of a deal. :D
