Re: I just need some perspectives

[(Anonymous)]

People are being harsh on you, OP. You have every right to feel sad and disappointed, it's only human. And at least you're venting here instead of sulking at your friend...

I wonder if there's more going on in your friend's life than you realize. How close is she to graduation? Will the college fund cover all of it? Will she have to spend a semester scraping by, or dropping out to save cash and then coming back? Is she going to have to worry about finding a full-time job in her field at around the time the con is happening? Is she maybe feeling guilty about relying so heavily on a fund and her parents' generosity?

As a couple people mentioned, she might be in panic mode. She might change her mind in a month or two. Or she might not. My perspectives are a little extreme as I've just finished with a pretty serious doomsday budget, but being financially independent, not relying on parents or friends or credit card companies or whatever, feels SO good. She might just need a year of austerity. Or, she might have a few months of no-spending-ever and decide that she needs to reward herself (aka go to the con in April).

I also think the anon's suggestion to pay your friend's way is a good one. But if she's feeling like she needs to be financially independent, she might completely reject it. If she does, it has nothing to do with you. If you're worried about you guys drifting apart (which I get the feeling you are), you need to talk it out and not get money decisions tangled up in friendship decisions.
