I pay for everything myself. Parents still come thru with help when say I need a new computer or something (btw, new macbook is
)
How old were you when your parents cut you off?

in my culture there is no such thing as "cutting off", it is a life time support. All that jazz "when you are 18 you are on your own" crapdon't work over here.

Dont feel like that my man... Just make your mother proud and finsh school and do something with your life. Thats enough payback. Thats what she wants. Mymother has been disabled since I was seven years old. when I was younger she always found a way to make ends meet. Since I was about 14 Its been more of metaking care of her. I'm 22 now and I help her with just about everything. I know she would love to be in the position to "spoil" me but you canonly play with the cards your dealt. Its crazy because alot of people tell me how good it is that I do what I do for her. I dont see it being a good deed tho.Its an obligation to me. Part of my every day life. I enjoy helping my mother out even know it is rough on me sometimes. You only get one Mom/Dad so cherish socherish them while they are here. For those of you who parents can afford to help you out PLEASE dont take advantage of it. Also be thankful for what you havebecause there are some that are not as fortunate. Show your parents that you appreciate what they do for you!

I started working when I was 16, so I didn't need financially supported anymore then. My Dad lost his job a year later and had to start all over at a newcompany. So I stepped up and helped out paying bills until I moved out earlier this year at 22. So it was like I cut them off when I moved out.

i pay for all my tuition after my half scholarship is applied, pay for my place, and paid for my whip. Parents are definetly there for the support though andare glad to see me doing well. I respect no one who just lives off mom and dad, to me that is loser and the start of horrible habits. After 18 you gotta stepup and start mapping out your own feature. Its funny seeing most of my peers in college doing the previous mentioned and they have no value for theirpossesions or drive to get ahead

My sister is two years older than me and always set up an allowance with my dad. I don't really need the money, but he feels like I should get the same asshe did at whatever age. I never ask, but he gives me some every month. I guess I'm lucky that my sis set this up for me because I feel bad asking for cashfrom my parents. I don't buy too much so I'm just piling most of it up in saving. Should help me later on.

You sound exactly like me. Ever since I was like 6 I was sellin my Halloween candy. I STILL remember feeling like the !*** when I got up to like12 dollarsOriginally Posted by doosta45
I was never cut on, so I couldn't be cut off
Been buying my own stuff since I was little, either selling candy, playing them dice games/bones/cards on the playground, or burning cds. I stayed making money when I was little.
They really only bought me stuff on xmas, my bday, and when school started. Other than that I was on my own and my parents still making 150k+/year, so the money was there I just didn't want it. Hell the money they give me, id go buy them something with it.
I got older and expanded to CDs. I had a nice lil operation goin. Had people selling for me throughout the school plus I was still sellincandy/snacks/drinks. I still see the shoulder scars my duffle bag strap left from carryin around that heavy bag. I was bringin in soo much money every week. Even after factoring out the cost of CDs and food.. the profit margin was crazy. Any body else remember when Get Rich or Die Tryin' leaked? 50 Cent had mefeelin like a million bucks
I was definately spoiled/blessed as a kid. Though in my teens I was buying everything I wanted through "hustlin" and it all started with my mom"investing" that first $100 (after making me write up a business proposal + a Powerpoint Presentation
Actually its really funny. Im in college now, just quit my job of 4 years and now I'm living off all that money I made from the HS days. But things liketuition and rent, eternal thanks goes out to my parents. tryin to make em proud and gotta say, I aint doin to well at that

I've been working since 14 so I had my own money for stuff. I just gave my mom the checks to deposit and use it for extra bills if she needed it. I'm22 now, Junior in College (1 year behind because I moved to this country late and they forced me to stay a year back and I took 1 year off after my 1stsemester at the Univ). I mean my mom is willing to take care of me until I finish all my schooling. So I guess I'm really lucky. But since my mom was asingle mom for so long and I am her only child. She's willing to give up her world just so that I have all the opportunities in the world. And I really dofeel blessed to be in the situation I am.

I'm 23 and I honestly doubt I'll ever be cut off. I work hard for the family biz so mom & pops take care of me in return... and they'll betaken care of when they retire. Still live at home bill free. Thanks mom & dad.
