Well my step dad doesn't like that i spend money .
Hmmm well what makes me angry is that :
A) i earned that money from hard work .
B) i never asked for money as i earned it myself
C) i am obligated to spend my money where ever i want whenever i want however i want.
D) they do not own my credit card even though it is signed under my mothers name , it is mine to use as i wish and it always has been like that .
So i don't understand why do they have to control the money that they do not own and that i didn't borrow.
My step dads argument was that "ohh well you will need money stuff for school/college to buy and who will buy it?" well duh my mother will give me money and she always does ave it due to the fact she owns a hair salon . He always want to make me feel like i plundered that money from my mother when in fact i got them all from work , first i was dieing hair just to pay for my warcraft account then i was earning and selling credits just to buy my fiance the stuff he wanted.
This isn't related to the lot i got him now (will repay you Don on the weekend) . But i just need some valid arguments if they start rambling again .
I feel like i should have the right to control the money i have no ? i am gonna be 18 in 3 months and yet they still think that they own my money.
Yes i do understand that my mother buys me clothes and feeds me but that is something she has to do as a mother not something she chooses to do . i choose to earn my money to spend that money not to let it rot in my bank account .
Thank you for reading . I need some valid arguments to make him shut up and stop controlling my money .
Honestly i think that u shouldnt even be asked nothing about ur money. for the simple fact that u have a job, and u get paid for it. now im assuming ur a grown lady nikky, so thats another reason why u shouldnt even be goin through this problem with ur parents. now i do know how parents are. Don is right about parents always trying to be in control. so i wont really suggest u going off on them, even though they are temping you.. still bare their feelings, because out of it all they maybe just doin this because they care about u and they dont want to see u without money.. so they tell u not to spend all ur money or they tell u,not to buy this & go do this, and so forth. If this really bothers u, then u need to have a talk with both of ur parents one day, and tell them. that u have ur own life ur a grown up. u work for the money u get, so u have all the rights in the world to buy or spend ur money where ever when ever u want. its that simple. say it in the most respectfull way.. and just listen to what they have to say back. maybe they will give u a good reason why they tell u not to spend ur money or w.e.. Otherthan that. its nothing really no one can tell u what not to do with ur money. they can try tell u how to spend ur money but at the end of the day u can do w/e u want its goin to be in ur pocket not theirs.
. i guess i could i mean i only need 200 dollars a month to be able to live alone here.
