rushing and the dues question

While I agree that it's good to be honest if there could be a financial problem, I don't think it's necessary to say what the OP said. Saying something like "Thank you for that information, it shouldn't be a problem" or "I've got that covered" is fine. It doesn't matter *where* the money is going to come from to pay those dues.

I would say something like, "That's all? I thought buying my friends would cost much more!"

i would just say "thank you" or "thank you for the information"when you receive the sheet of financial obligations and leave it at that.

I think saying "I've discussed it with my parents, and I am prepared to take on the expense" is a good response, because, IMO, chapters like to hear that your parents know and support your decision to rush/pledge. If you just say "Ok" or "I've got it covered", it doesn't give the impression that you have thought about it in advance. OTOH, you want to avoid the sense that you are not taking any responsibility for it.

Agreed. The house doesn't need to know anything more than the fact you can afford it.
