And thanks to student loans, most college grads STILL know the feeling. There comes a time during your college career where it becomes very apparent that if you don’t get some cash, things could go very south. It’s important to exhaust every legal method of acquiring some cash, however, sometimes you have to make that call to Mom and Dad. Nobody likes to do it, but occasionally it may be necessary. ForRentUniversity.com has some tips to make it less awkward for everyone.
A great place to start is the truth. Picture this, you come up with the ultimate excuse and they send you money. However, they are parents so eventually they will find out the truth and will be way less likely to help you out in the future. If you blew all your cash on parties, just be honest. Is there an emergency? Do you need more money for books? Just tell them. It shows them you are taking responsibility, owning up to mistakes and learning life lessons. If you lie to them constantly, though, they will begin to see right through it.
