Sugar Baby

     As a college student, I know the value of the dollar.  I grew up in an affluent household with caring and understanding parents.  You can say I had a pretty charmed life.  I am lucky enough to be able to graduate debt free, thanks to my parents paying for everything.  They have also given me a significant monthly spending allowance and forbade me from getting a job.  This sounds ideal, but in reality everything isn't peaches 'n cream.  For reasons I won't specify, my parents owe a sum of money this month that has caused them great financial stress because they don't have the money on hand.
     My parents made a large investment a few years ago when the economy had just started to go downhill and they did not believe it would last this long, it was also something my father had always wanted and he therefore could not resist.  Three years later and the economy has not improved.  Since signing that contract, my father has been unable to get a good nights sleep and go a day without stress over our financial situation.  My father is older and although he is in great physical shape, stress can really wear a person down.  I love my father and want to be able to spend as much of my life as possible with him still around.    My parent's have made sure to reassure me that we are doing fine financially, but we are currently "cash poor" this means that our money is tied up in investments.  In order to pay off the money they owe this month, my father had to sell some stocks that his father gave him.  Stocks in the company that his father created for him and his siblings.
     I want to take the burden off of his shoulders, but in the limited time frame and lack of information on the situation I would not have been able to raise enough money unless I had sold all of my organs and more.  I tried to be frugal with my spending, but everyone knows that isn't enough.
     At this point I have missed the deadline to raise enough money, but that doesn't mean I can't help alleviate the financial stress my parents might feel in the future, nor does it mean that I can't help by paying for my own education.  Someday I want to be the majority shareholder of my grandfather's company and buy back the stocks my father had to sell in order to pay for his dream.  This is why I have poured my heart out to a dear friend and she (for her own reasons) and I have decided to do something that I have been half-heartedly considering for a long time now: "dating" men for money.
