Not Proud...

My parents just used their airline miles to get me a ticket to come home for Thanksgiving... and Christmas. I'm not exactly proud of that, but given how high flight prices have rocketed up, this is saving me $1,000! I'm secretly PSYCHED. (Sidebar: my mother works for one of the airlines and my parents can fly standby for free all the time, so they would rarely ever use the miles for themselves. I still don't feel proud doing the parental mooch at 24).
