"*snort* Is that all?", said my mother when she said she needed money and I gave her $500 just then
OH...MY...GOD. What does she need the money for? If she wants to charge you room and board to live with her,
she should figure out a set amount. When I lived at home in my early 20s, I paid something like $50 a week. I know that
times have changed, but if I'd ever given my mother $500 at once, she would have fainted!
