Your dad is trying to help you by making you responsible with your money. Since you don't support yourself and you live off of him, you need to do what he says. Believe it or not, in about 10 years you will be writing him a letter telling him what a great dad he is and how you wish you had been a better kid and not given him so much lip.

Your dad is looking out for you and by trying to teach you to put money in the bank for a rainy day. While you are living under his roof he has the right to tell you what to do until you are 18.I dont know what the rules are in America. Ijust know that you have to be 18 to be classified as an adult.

heck yea its your money and yes putting it in the bank is a good thing but in your own separate bank account and make sure you get your own savings account along with that so you can have money that you dont touch
but as far as your dad taking your money i think thats wrong but if he needs some money to pay a bill then you should pay it

I'm sure you dad is just trying to get you to learn how to manage your money. He is not being a "mean parent". The earlier you learn to save, handle, and budget your money the better. Talk with him. I am positive the two of you can come to and agreement. Listen and learn from your dad, he only wants whats best for you.

Is that your money? Yes!! You have every legal right to the money you worked for. Now if you dad has a "you work you pay rent" sort of thing going on, well, he's the boss applesauce. Otherwise he has no legal binding to your money. Its things like that why kids get imancipated.

it matters wat state ur from, and if u have a working permit. i am now 16, and trust me, you should open a bank account, and make it Citizen's bank! When you open that account, u have to be under one of ur parents name, meaning, for example on a check book, it'll have both ur name, and one of ur parents name. Second, make sure when u open it, tell them u want a ATM and a Debit card, they'll both be in one card. 3rd, never ever put all ur money in the bank, for example, from b4, i used to make 120 every 2 days i work, from those 120,, i'd only deposit 80 bucks. 4th, just for your info and safety: NEVER EVER buy porno with ur credit card, bcuz it'll show it on the monthly bank statement, and not only porno, anything u buy using ur card, it'll be on the bank statement. 5th, this could be a useful tip right here: wherever u use an ATM machine, it will show on the bank statement the exact location u used it. 6th tip: Never sign up for magazine from now until ur at least 18, dont sign up for any magazine or anything with memberships using ur CARD!!!! Bcuz if u do, that place or company might keep taking it out, and u'll be left with no money, and when that happens, they'll still keep on taking money, making u go into the negatives, and with that, the bank will charge u an overdraft fee, the first day 38, and every day after that, INCREASING, and most likely, the bank wont tell u about it!! TRUST ME, I HAVE PERSONAL experience with this SHIZZZZ!!!! Dont forget, allllways, ALWAYS ALWAYS, keep some of the money with u, and if u work at a job that u get tips from, never tell ur parents about how much tips u get. For example, i used to get sometimes, on a good day, like 40 bucks tips, but i wont tell my parents that!! i'd tell them i made 12 bucks tips, and then they wont know about that extra money u have, and there u go, u can manage urself like i did with that money on FREEDOM, u can do whatever u want without them knowing, 28 bucks wont sound like much, but u still dont have some1 over ur head saying u shouldn't have bought this or that!!! Good Luck!

Legally, everything that you own is under your dad's jurisdiction. It is his job to make sure that you are spending your money wisely. It is just like owning a stereo, and your dad telling you that you can not play it until your homeork is done. He has every right.
