I would keep your cable for now, because you are using it. If you have a smart TV or a laptop you can connect to your TV with an HDMI cable, you can usually get a few free weeks of Netflix or Prime to see if you like the content. There are a TON of movies and TV series on Netflix. We mostly watch TV series so I'm not sure how their selection of movies is.
But I don't think now is the time to get rid of any of the things that are giving you some comfort.
I really don't think it's fair of your Mom to say she will cover you, and then change her mind after you signed your lease. Can she at least cover you for a few months?
In any case it sounds like having a roommate is a good idea long-term so you can pay down debt and save. So finding a good, reliable person and taking time to verify they work where they say they do and that they have references is worthwhile. A good long-term roommate is a valuable thing.
I have fingers and toes on both sides crossed for you to have some good luck soon!  |
Thank you @
Samicat.
It wasn't fair of mom, but then again, I think I may have misunderstood. I thought she was agreeing to covering the $2500 per month that I need. She wasn't, so I misunderstood. But now she says she will with a loan plus interest... I still need to talk to her again to clarify this.
If I have a roommate, I can keep my cable. But so far, I don't have anyone who is biting to move in.
I am still SO pissed at my landlord for messing this up for me for this month. I would have had a roommate already, if it weren't for him. I can't believe he f'ed it all up!
