<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

**Background:** My dad has a big job and is very high up in his career. My mom has been a SAHM since I was a little kid, but she's always been more involved with finances than my father. He leaves it to her to pay all the bills, balance the checkbook, manage the budget, etc. This arrangement seems to have worked okay for them. However, since he's not the one managing the budget, my dad has always had a sort of delusional view of how much money we have. It's true that he makes a lot, but they also live in an expensive area, paid for my college, and are currently paying for my brother's private high school. From what I gather, they are well-off, but not *as* well-off as my father wants to believe.

I moved away from home about a year ago. I've been making ends meet and even saving a good amount. The problem is I hate my job, and I'm bad at it. I have an offer for a new position that would be a fantastic career move, but would pay me about 10,000 less than what I currently make.

**The issue:** With the lower salary, money would be very very tight for me. Now, ever since I moved out my dad has asked me frequently if I need any money or any help paying rent. He was unhappy with my old apartment because it wasn't in a great area, and said he would give me $600/month so I could move to a better place. I politely refused. 

I hate myself for even considering this, but I'm now wondering if there's any way for me to broach this subject with my parents again. I would never accept such a large amount, but if they *were* able/willing to help in some way, it would allow me to take this new job and move forward in my career. But I don't want to put my mom in the position of having to be the "bad guy" and telling my dad that they can't afford that.
<bot>: Dad has offered to help with rent in the past, and in order to take a new, lower paying job, I might need him to. But I don't know if he's actually financially capable of doing so.
