Put your hands up if you’ve ever gone overboard one weekend and treated yourself to two dinners out, a new outfit and rounds for your mates? Now, keep them up if you did it the day before rent was due and the same day your car magically ran out of petrol.
Bonus point if you’ve ever had to slink back home to your ‘rents and admit that you’re just a feeble child in an adult’s body, without any hope of achieving financial freedom anytime soon.
Truly, I think we’ve all been there and obviously, we’re lucky to have them. But wouldn’t it be golden to just once act like a grown human being — aka treating yourself but still paying rent without a meltdown. But before we transform into the fully-fledged adults we deserve to be, we want to get a little petty and that’s where you come in.
We want to hear your most chaotic story about that time you borrowed money from your ‘rents, and — along with our friends MyPayNow — we’ll give the person with the best story a hefty $5,000 to fill those pockets.
MyPayNow is a nifty new app that lets you dip into your pay before it lands in your bank account. They figure that because life (and all of its financial implications) happens faster than payday, you should also be able to access your salary as and when you need it. We’d never suggest you go ham on your upcoming pay and screw future you over, but dipping in when you’re in a genuine bind sounds pretty reasonable to us.
Go on, hit that giant form below to tell us your best story in 25 words or less about a time you had to withdraw from the bank of mum and dad to enter.
