<p>Dropping out of school this semester so that your parents’ money is flushed down the drain is NOT the way to engender good feelings in them toward your new venture.</p>
<p>Maybe you’d be better off to work for a year and save your money to pay for your living expenses while you are going to MUD. The way to save the most money would be to live at home. </p>
<p>In the alternative, go down to NY and find a place to live and a job. Again, work for a year to get some money together.</p>
<p>When your parents see you seriously saving for your future, they may want to contribute.</p>
