i need money, does anyone know how to help me ?

Question

My parents don't give me money even though i help with chores and things. They are earning a lot coz my dad works in Canary wharf but when i ask them their like "no, and what have you done for me lately?" I don't even get a monthly allowance !!! The only money i have to use is my savings which we've been saving since i was born (im 16 now) and thats empty ! Well nearly. Whenever i want something i have to beg , like , really beg and be good for a week or two, if i want something like a top. And i have tryed to ask for a job, and their like no and then wount allow me to get one for the summer either. Which is so gay !! why do you think they wount give me money? Coz im not a bad person, i do work hard, and i do everything i'm told.

Answer 1

i have the same problem its not fair. my parents say "use ur own money" but i dnt have any. but this was the best, i tell my mom that i want to get a job over the summer and she goes "oh would u rather get a job r have me and your dad give u money for a few more years?" so i answered that they give me money, so then i asked my mom for money to go shopping and she said "use your own money", so i said that i didnt have any then she tells me to go get a job! its so not fair, but i can relate to how u feel.

Answer 2

i don't know.. maybe your parents do earn a lot as what you said but do you actually know the expenses incurred every month, utilities, your education, food, etc.. well you're 16 now so if you really think that you need extra money for shopping and leisure, maybe you can get a weekend job or something.. it's time to be independent.. you want something, you need to work for it..

Answer 3

paradox. its hard to believe it sounds all perfect and yet they wouldnt get the pocket money. so i think you missing smth, you are just a big liar and been naughty lately.

i dont know how else this could be explained

try to explain that u need in a nice way sit down talk to them, maybe they dont have enough money n they r struggling alittle lately. working in top jobs doesnt mean u have lots of money. the higher u get the higher ur bills to pay for ur living

they r ur parents, they know better trust their will n obey them, be good boy/girl. cos whatever they do they do it for u to be good man. although at the moment u might not understand them, believe me if i myself look back those years i hated my folks for just cos they were being my parents. burt this ud see later in life.....

now just stop crying be nice to them no matter what

Answer 4

I was never given money as a kid.........i didn't have an allowance.....i asked for it on birthdays............i baby sat and tutored...............they are trying to teach you responsibility............it pays off in the end.........you learn to work for your money...........you are at that age where you should start............they may not let you get a job..........but help out A LOT more around the house and get some small jobs like mow the lawn or something..........you have to start somewhere

Answer 5

well, man i was about to tell you to get a job, but i see your not allowed to work. i don't like asking my parents for money, so that is why i started working I'm 17. see, when i was 12 i really wanted to work, you a teenage boy gets dat need for money wants to buy this and that.... i say you should talk to your parents. tell them dat you need experience of working, cause u growing up fast and you wont have your parents forever and dat lil savings account isn't big enough to last your whole life. if this don't work, do what i did went to neighborhood houses asked if they needed me to cut their lawn or water their garden many other stuff but if i were you go for the first option.. but don't you DARE do something illegal to get money.

Answer 6

show them that you are a responsible person, ask them if they will give you an allowance and ask what can I do to earn an allowance, by showing them you will do the work they want you to and being responsible then you might can get a job later

Answer 7

Oh my gosh if you are only part of the cry baby at home like you are here, I can see why they won't give you money or let you get a job.

Try growing up and acting more mature. Then discuss finances with your parents again.

Answer 8

Your parents are just weird. I was going to say GET A JOB but you said that they won't let you... WHAT?!! you need to have a long discussion with your family and tell how how you feel and ask WHY you cant get a job

Answer 9

just go get a job, and if they get mad, then tell them youre only trying to be responsible and learn how to take care of your responsibilities, and if they are serious about not letting you go to work then make them the ones that have to go tell your boss that you cant work. make them feel like crap. then, dont do anything for them, dont touch a dish, or the garbage, just steal food from the cupboards in the middle of the night and stash it in your room and lock yourself in there whenever their home and awake, theyll get the picture eventually.

Answer 10

so what i never got an allowance.. shoot but i did work when i was able to. sit down with them and have a serious conversation with them. like an adult. so they know that you are trying to grow up, if they still say no. then make their lives a living hell. dont do anything for them, and so what if they punish u, just leave.REBEL!! thats what i did and i turned out just fine.. but dont do anything crazy you know your parents so you know your limits. and i dont care if anyone thinks this is bad advice.
