Ok to sell family jewels for tuition?
I have an issue here and I need some advice. I am a second year university student and don't have a lot of money. I do not receive money from my parents and am currently relying on student loans to pay for all of my life and school expenses. Basically, I'm on my own, and a couple unexpected bills have cropped up recently. However, last year I did inherit five thousand dollars (read as: a year's tution) worth of jewelry from my late grandmother.
I know that my father would not want me to sell the jewelry, but he isn't a struggling student, and also isn't doing much to help my situation. Furthermore, other family members may not approve. However, I feel that my grandmother would rather that I have money to use wisely, as I would, than have a bunch of "bling-bling" sitting in a safety deposit box.
On the other hand, I realise that to sell the jewelry would mean that it would be gone forever and the decision would be final.
What should I do?

This is a very hard decision. If you are absolutely sure that you cannot get help from your parents or money from anywhere else, then I would suggest selling PART of your new inheritance. If it is, in fact, your final decision to sell the jewelry, definitely keep the most important/sentimental. Good luck--

I think if your grandmother was still with you she would want you to finish your education so i suggest you sell the jewellery to get money.
