Well, time for another change in plans. This isn't even an thing anymore (at least for this year). My "job training" (that I probably don't really need, but I shall withhold judgement) is supposed to extend into the Autumn season - which is when I'd be in college. So, even if I originally had a full-time course load scheduled for that semester, it would be going out the window for this unpaid job training. And I need to pay for textbooks this time, as a result. I'm forced to take the next semester part-time, which means I can't use Financial Aid/loans this time. The cash being made from eBay is (understandably) being sent to another account, to pay for my remaining part-time semesters. And I can't work during the summer, because of this unpaid job training (waiting to see if I can get an internship next year, hopefully). The only money I'll be making this year is whatever I get from the Nexus 6P law suit, assuming that I get to that before getting sidetracked. And any tax returns that I would have gotten from working at Amazon (last year) are also being used for college last I checked - no funds from that :| So, at most, I'm bringing in 300-400 USD. Oh - and Mother's Day, Father's Day, and a Birthday are coming up this year ? I went on and told them to not get me anything this year, and use that cash toward college as well, because I really don't need anyone wasting money on me (when I'd rather handle that on my own dime when I move out atm). They could also use it to treat themselves, because I won't be able to get them anything aside from a card this year. But, we'll see how this goes. They'll most likely get me something they like, and I'll just let it collect dust in the room as a result (I already have one other gift doing just that). I don't feel like arguing with them - I'll just leave those items behind when I move out (in the garage). Aside from that, I'm holding off on getting a new smartphone, and will also be ditching the rest of the Shopping List for Summer 2020 as well. I might downgrade to a GTX 1080/1070 Ti if I get up the nerve to even continue this mess. Sorry for getting up all of our hopes - this was the one thing I was looking forward to this summer, and it's gone. Nothing could really fix that, and I surely hope that nothing else happens at this point :(

    wow... I wish you best of luck. Im still surprised you are able to handle this somewhat. I would be furious with my parents and we would likely argue a lot. I definitely would not be able to go trough all of this and make it.

    Maybe make a kickstarter for college, this way they wont be able to take the money from you because its for a college and then you can keep the money you originaly wanted to keep? :D
