Yesterday, I received an odd money opportunity. I found out, also, that even though I really want money to help with the downpayment fund, there are certain limits to where I'll go.
An acquaintance of mine, a former house mate, phoned me and asked me if I will be open to an illegal marriage to a friend of hers. He will get to stay in the country and I will get ~$20,000 in exchange. I will have to be married for three years. I believe she's asking all her single friends.
I'd like to think that I'm worth more than $20,000, but it took me a whole five minutes to say "No". Alot of reasons; self-respect, buying a small apartment in two years (which i don't want it to be in his name as well), the crime being a FELONY, and loads more.
$20,000 would have still helped out and I scared myself for taking that much time to say no....to have actually considered it an option because of the money.
