In 2007, my big brother was making good money as a trader on wall street. I had a dead-end job so he suggested I go to bschool. He helped me on my apps and told me he'd take care of my tuition. I took him up on the offer and got accepted to go to school in the fall of 08.
Early 2008 he got laid off with no bonus. He didn't have the extra cash so I had to get student loans. The job market sucks so I couldn't find a summer internship. Now I'm p*ssed cuz I'll be $120g's in the hole & don't know if I'll have a job when I graduate. I wouldn't have even gone to bschool if he didn't offer to pay for it.
He just got a new job so I think he should pay for the loans since it was his stupid idea in the first place. He says he's not making enough help out and that he only offered because he had extra money before. A promise is a promise so I think he should pay up. He needs to be a man of his word....
UpdatesThere was never a condition on your promise whether you had a lot of extra money. You made no caveats or conditions to your promise. I get into school and you would pay. You started back-peddaling on your promise starting May 20, 2008. Offering to pay $18K for my first year. That bothered me because $18k was far short of what my expenses would have been for the year and until that day, I thought you set aside the funds for my mba based on our agreement.
Needless to say, I didnt even receive the $18k from you (only $8.6k) and little by little, you started to shed responsibility and dissassociate yourself from this promise.
