My grandmother is going to die soon, and my father (it's his mother) is constantly "reminding" me that our extended family gets together for weddings and funerals.
Problem is, the funeral is 1500 miles away, which I don't have the time to drive, and airplanes are hard to come by, much less get a decent price right around Christmas! Not to mention my family is broke and has no extra money lying around to do this.
My dad thinks it's ok to go into debt for this, but I don't. I've been under a pile of debt for 6 years now and I've learned my lesson, and I'm not acquiring any more until it's paid off!
What should I do? What's a good way to break it to him that unless someone is willing to cough up some $$, I'm not going to be there.
