I have since…

Illogical paranoia
Dilema of the day. My parents offered tro buy me a new sofa. I refused, saying second hand was fine, a futon was fine, and I could afford that. Then they offered to pay off my car loan. Now, I'm pretty ok with this. They want to, and they are comfortably off. The problem is actually handing the money over to the car loan…
