I cannot give a proper answer without knowing the religion that your girlfriend's family practices. However, since you speak of being born again, I am assuming that you speak of Christianity. \n\nYour girlfriend's parents are to forgive you if they are Christians. However, forgiveness in no way means that they are required to allow you the opprtunity to let it happen again. If someone were to steal from you, you should forgive that person, but forgiving them does not require that you trust them with your possessions again. See what I mean? That being said, you are young, and so is your girlfriend. What she is doing by keeping you up in the air is wrong. It is deceptive to her parents and it is not spiritually or emotionally healthy to you. I think that 18 is plenty old enough to make decisions about dating, but if she still lives with her parents, then she must follow their rules. If she doesn't want to follow them, then she needs to move out. \n\n We are not taught to obey our parents, we are taught to honor them. Honoring our parents often involves obeying them, but in instances where the parents are wrong in their commands, we are not required to obey them. That could be a misunderstanding that your girlfriend has, but it could be that her family accepting you is simply very important to her. Different things are important to different people when dating. Some people find education or income important, and some don't. \n\nI think that you should talk to her parents, and explain that you would like their forgiveness and that you hope as Christians they can give it. That would, of course, be easier for them to do if you make a commitment to stop having sex. It's a bit ridiculous to ask forgiveness for something you still intend to do. I would then talk to your girlfriend and make sure that if you do marry, she understands a few things. When you marry, you become one flesh. The days of doing things your parents' way is over, and her parents should not have as much influence over her once you marry. They can give advice and voice opinions, but they can no longer forbid anything, nor can they call the shots.\n\nIf after doing this, you find that you still cannot have a relationship with her, then put a stop to her visits and put it back in God's hands once again.

Whats done is done. You know better now.  So go and do better. Dont beat yourself up as long as you take the steps to do whats right. You know yourself and just know people make mistakes. You will be fine.

It sounds like you have everything you need for now, so maybe you could look to the future... retirement account perhaps?\n\nSounds boring, but if you start investing now, you will either have a lot of money when you retire, or you can retire early.  If I didn't need anything immediately right now, like a car or a tv or something for my house, knowing I could retire earlier would be nice.

work a little harder on your current job.\nIf you dont want to do that, then do some research on stocks and invest some money in them.

If you believe in yourself, i have experienced it in my life, don't work under anyone. Start your own one and see where life takes you. Initially, you may have some financial problems but tackle them and you'll reach your goal very soon.

i'll tried to help you to find the best answer in your situation....\nthere's different answer in different cases.depends on urgency.\n1. Friend of mine,from a poor family background, ask the same question. His family really need economic support, so i suggest him to have a part timer job. It's very good for him to help his family economic condition. what about you??\n2. in another case, if our family good enough to pay for it,no need to do that.focus on our study.if we're not focusing,10 years later,we'll regrett it, and we're too late to fix that.Focusing study, make lots of friends and earn more experience(get a lesson after school/course,do hobbies,etc)are good things to do..After we graduate, we can choose wisely the job were interest in and mastered the job we choose.\n3. if i'm from millionaire background.....just sit on my chair,sleep on my bed, eat on my table, no study,no work. if i were older enough, work on my family bisnis.earn more money...wekekekke........the 3rd one is a joke...kidding...hahahahaha.

Go back to school.  Grants are available and loans can be deferred until you can afford to pay them back.\n\nInvest in your education.

Best not to worry about the future.\nYou would be far better off dealing with NOW.  The past is just your memories.  The future is possible plans.  You are Here, Now.

Get a job. If you have one already, get a second job.\n\nOr.... marry a rich person!

Pray to God for help and guidance. In this situation, because there is obviously nothing you can really do, put it in God's hands. I'll be praying for you!! I hope this helps. :)

You could:\n-get a job (now & during college)\n-get a student loan (that would be payed back after you're done with college)\n-get a scholarship (this can be done even if you're in college now!)\n-have your parents pay for it (you'll be lucky if they do...seriously!)

If you can afford to take the time to do it, build the house. That way it's what you want. You'll build up equity sooner that way and receive much more personal satisfaction.
