| Cae I just started paying rent last year, at age 20. My partner and I pay a collective 200 to my parents to help them cover apartment rent and groceries for us all since prices keep going up. But we are all legal adults and we only pay because they can't afford it otherwise. |

| Ceasar, American culture is people caring more about animals than children, or if they care for neither, they're a "hard-working, god-fearing christian." lmao |

| flo, the government actually gave people the advice to fight the inflation when we first started using euro, and it was either everything people have already been doing for 30 years, or the most out of pocket thing ever. telling 85+ year olds to go from one store to the other to compare prices and buy where its 2 cents cheaper? revolution. |

| Flue currently they still work for her, so that's not an option just yet. They already took their father to court for beating them (my partner was driving when their father started punching them in the head, causing them to almost crash. My partner wound up in the hospital with a bad concussion) |

| i also do not understand the paying rent to your parents thing?? the kicking out at 18?? wild as fuck to me, especially in current economy |

| flo, try living in the touristy city :') prices are adjusted for german salaries because of german tourists, and us common folk living here on our croatian, 1/3 of german paychecks? haha irrelevant~ using germans as example because its a meme at this point how everyone has at least three family members that left for germany in search of better life actual quote from our prime minister from few years back: "the people live well, they just arent aware of it" |
| Flueryn |
| BuggyOs, Parents play too much knowing what they do is illegal and also just morally wrong. This stuff is too common. I also have four separate friends whose parents did that to them. I'm glad your partner made it out of there. Consider sueing the mother to death. |
| Flueryn |
| Caesar, Why focus on tourism when the government exists in the first place because of its people? This never makes sense to me. Every place can be pretty if it it's taken care of, no landscape most people live on is that unique or special. I love to travel when I can, but I hate going to touristy places. I rather spend time in the local businesses and common spaces. |
| BuggyOs |
| Flue that sounds like my partner... their mom took half of their paychecks for rent, then would constantly ask for more and if they didn't pay, the electric or water bills wouldn't get paid so they had to choose between paying the bills or saving to move out. They live with me and my parents now though |
| Caeruleum |
| flo, i would not compare us to austria culture wise ^^" but its not just that for prices, its the fact that we've had the worst government for like a decade now, they basically destroyed all our production industries and only invested in tourism, plus made sure to send our people away and get outsiders to purchase land :') |

| Lady, Yes, that exactly! My partner's dad is the embodiment of that. Started taking "rent" from my partner when he was 16 working at a Subway. Parents are required by law to provide shelter, food, and clothes to their offspring until 18. His dad financially abused him and then goes on tirades about how my partner keeps "splurging." Brother, you kept taking all his checks so now he doesn't live with you he's going to mess up and spend his entire check on a game system because you didn't teach him financial responsibility or let him have fun. |

| And they wonder why depression and what comes along with depression is at an all time high and only increasing. |

| Florence It just sucks because the whole of the US expects you to move out as soon as you hit 18 but make it as impossible as they can unless you are born into money. |
| Flueryn |
| Lady, Word. Don't feel too bad, though, my sister and her two daughters keep having to move back in with my mom and two other siblings. My uncle who is 60 and his kids keeps moving back in, too, because of his health issues. |

Alliance Officers
Welcome artists one and all! Are you crazy about art? Do it casually? Not so good at it? The point of this is to give each other tips and advice! It's a community, and because of this, we value communication, friendship, and kindness. I send out mass mail to the group wayyy too much (sorry existing members xP) to remind people of contests and activities that are going on and encourage others to interact and socialize. Start a conversation in the comments! Invite friends to join our alliance! We really don't care about battling and dominance, so its pretty easy going. Don't stress! Avatar Credits: (Dear Mods,) This is a mash-up of multiple people's art. Here is the list of who did what: Pack 41402 did the brown and gray wolf with blue eyes and white splotches Pack 156867 did the green eyed wolf with the dark markings around its snout and the done-with-the-world look on its face Pack 212201 did the chibi wolf on the right with one eye covered and a shy sort of look Pack 189075 did the black wolf with green markings and wacky green tongue IrishWolven on FurAffinity created the black and gray wolf with blue eyes who is next to the green-tongued wolf. Flying wolf made by Pack 206567 Background created by pack 41402 Let me know if I need to recredit something xP Artist Tips! Put any tips you have in the comments ;) ~ There are many free digital art programs out there! ~ Angling your drawing pad towards your face can help you to keep your drawing from becoming distorted ~ If you want your digital art to be as great as your traditional, take a picture and trace on phone, iPad, and other devices. Recommended art app: Medibang paint, Sketchbook by Autodesk For Alliance Members: Constant: ~Avatar We are doing a combined art avatar! Submit a character, any character as long as it's non-human, and it will be included in our plethora of characters.
