iPhone 3G or wait for Android?
Well first.
So the new iPhone has some sweet features. Integrated GPS, Exchange server functionality, 3G network, plus its a sweet ass iPhone.
On the other hand, Android will be awesome. The ability to compile and install applications on my phone would be too cool. Downside, there is no known release date. I’d say at least 1 year till it’s even possible to be out, maybe more. I figure I might as well get an iPhone and enjoy it (plus Verizon is pro-rating their account termination cost).

frustration
I’m not really mad at my parents, just disappointed that they don’t see eye to eye with me on this issue.
They claim to provide me with so much, housing, insurance, food, utilities, etc. This is all fine and dandy, and I appreciate their help. They don’t seem to understand the fact that I pay $250 a month to them to help them with these services, plus pay for school and bills (cell phone, college loans, gasoline + auto upkeep). I can’t eat at home for every meal every day because I’m mostly at work or school. This leaves me with very little money for other things, like recreation.
The reason this really irks me is because today I received my federal aid information back from the government. Again, nothing. This is so frustrating because I am so financially stressed and they won’t give me a dime. I my disappointment to my parents and they replied with apathy (”We didn’t get any help with X when we were young.”).
I’m sorry, but I get really frustrated that EVERY one of my friends who is attending university gets some kind of assistance from their parents. The reason I get no money from the government is because I have an EFC (Expected Family Contribution) of $30,000. I don’t know where they get this figure, but it pisses me off. Either the government expects that my parents were the best financial planners 22 years ago or that they’re fucking rich. Either or, it doesn’t matter.
I know my parents are not fiscally irresponsible. They both started with nearly nothing and have alot to show for it now. They are trying to instill this ethic into me and I GET IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU WORK HARD FOR SOMETHING ITS WORTH MORE TO YOU. But I digress, shouldn’t you strive to seek improvement for your children so they don’t have to experience all of the hardships you have? I’m not comparing my hardships to theirs, but my father didn’t even go to college, he was Vietnam bound and didn’t have a chance.
This brings me to my final point. It’s not that I don’t de-value my education, its that I value my youth. I can go to school any time. But to truly enjoy my young adulthood and college years (which are slipping by so fast it scares the shit out of me), I need to be able to immerse myself in it. I am unable to do this if I am constantly worrying about financial problems like “How am I going to pay for the gas to get to school?” or “Will I be able to pay for a summer class?” or what is currently pressing me “Can I finish paying of school before the end of the semester? (No.).
This shakes me to the core.
