Money Question...

[krispar]

Alright, so here is my situation- I am 19 and just got married. I quit my job (please don't focus on this, I have a ton of legitimate reasons), and am having trouble finding a job that pays for all of our monthly bills (which we keep at the minimum- cheapest apartment, tight budgeting on food, toiletrees, etc... all util. paid in apartment, etc.), and my husband is full time schooling right now and again, don't focus on this, he in no way can get a part time job to help right now. we have about 3 months budget left in our savings.

The rest of the situation- I have stocks that my grandparents set up for me, that has quite a bit of money (It could pay for a 4 year degree quite a few times is how I'll explain it). Though I'm new to using them myself (dad always did that-I was young and it was for school).

Here is the question- Is it wrong/immoral to use those stocks to help pay while I look for a job? I mean, I have every intention of continuing to look for a job and do my best at whatever it is that I get, so it's not REALLY a matter of laziness, I guess unless you consider not applying at jobs similar to the one I just quit (fast food industry) is lazy.

I guess I don't think it's wrong, but I think I want to use it as a last resort, but I'm just curious if it wasn't a last resort, if it would be wrong?
Thanks for your input!

Pray about it, its not wrong or right, but Gods Plan needs to be followed.

Good Luck and God Bless

I wouldn't use all of it because NOT having money will motivate you more to look for a job. If you have to take it all out in order to use some of it, then I would reinvest it. We are to be good stewards of what we are given. Even when you do get the money out of the stock, don't touch it until you absolutely have to and pray that God will provide for you so you don't need to.

My advice would be to pray about it and also seek professionals who would advise you on how to spend on the stocks. You might end up saving some and also invest

Wow this is an old thread. I got hired and the money in stocks is safe until the school bills are due. Thanks though.
