How can I convince my parents to let me get a job?
I'm 14, and a straight A student. Where I live permits are available and I was thinking of a fast food place, Kroger, or the movie theater. (I don't live in an area with a lot of kids, ao babysitting is out.) My mom says that I'll be working the rest of my life, and to enjoy my teenage years. 1. I don't have a lot of friends to enjoy them with, so my weekends and after school hours are filled with nothing or homework. 2. My parents are unemployed, and I'm tired of relying on them for money that we don't have. Plus I have plans for Harvard, and if I can't get a scholarship, I want to be able to fall back on the money for my tuition. Please help me, this is important.
I am 18 years old. My mother has control of my savings account and won’t allow me access. How can I obtain access without her present?
Whose name is on the account?US information:If your name is on the account and it isn’t a trust or representative payee account (or something similar), you can just go to the bank with your ID.If it’s a trust, find out the rules of the trust. You might have to reach a certain age, graduate from college, etc.If it’s a representative payee account, you have to get documentation that she is no longer a representative payee. Show that documentation to the bank.If your name is not on the account, then it becomes much more difficult. It might not even be worth it unless there is a lot of money. For example, if you have earned income in there, thousands of dollars, you could bring a small claims case and get it back. On the other hand, if you have two hundred dollars of allowance, you might lose the small claims case and it would cost you nearly that to find out.Asking the bank won’t hurt anything. They might know more.
How do I convince my parents to let me take money from my bank account?
I have all of my saved up money in a bank account. Ever since I was 5 I have put money in it. I am 17 now and I asked my parents about it and they keep saying no. It isn't college fund, that's for sure. I just recently discovered that ever since I was 10 they have been taking money out and using it for gifts for my little brother's birthdays and they never paid me back. I found out through my older brother who knew about it all along. He told me because I asked him if her could spot me 15 bucks. I just recently asked my mom if I could just take out 30 for gas and such. She said "Sure! As long as you give me some gas money" She wasn't joking. Is she asking me to pay her for asking permission to get MY money? If anything, they owe me, correct? I also checked my little online account tracker and before they started taking money out, I had a little over 200 dollars and now I have 93 dollars. Why would they steal from me? They both have good jobs! My dad is a teacher and my mom is a surgeon.
My dad wont let me have my own bank account?
1st. Although it is commendable that you respected you dad enough to ask for permission to have your own account, You don't need it to open one. If you feel this strongly about it, open one up on your own. It'a not like you need a co-signer or anything. Tell him after you have done it though so he won't surprised when the first statement shows up. Apparently he feels like you are not responsible with money, so this would give you a chance to show him otherwise. Just be prepared for a blowup, for going behind his back (so to speak) as this will hurt his feelings also. After all it is dad, (and since there is no mention of MOM in your post I can only assume she is not part of the equation) and you are his little girl. And it's hard for parents to realize thier little girl/boy is growing up.
How do I convince my parents to let me buy beats?
That is a high-end set of audio equipment. We all want the best stuff, but this is certainly extravagant for anyone. Supposedly, if you get these headphones, you'll be wearing them quite often, blocking out everyone including your parents and blowing your eardrums out to boot. Doesn't sound like a very bright future. When you tried on a pair of Beats, the difference was startling, correct? But what you didn't do, was listen to them for hours on end, or days and weeks at a time, to find out that they're really just another set of headphones that you adjust to like anything else. The difference in listening pleasure over time is not that great. You can still listen to your music with average/normal headphones with considerable pleasure, without having to sacrifice anything else in your life (without losing your hearing, sacrificing your savings, and extricating your family). How many other "things" did you think you "must have" that are now sitting in a drawer or collecting dust, unused. Your parents have seen you want this or that so many times on a whim, and this is another fantasy that will pass. The main reason you should not get such an extravagant toy is that it pales in importance to your savings. You have no way to know the importance of savings. If you had adult responsibility of payments due every month on the house, insurance, car payments, electric, etc, you would learn the hard way that it's much better to put food on the table than to hear good bass on your headphones. And when tragedy strikes, or the car breaks down or you lose your job or income, THEN you would learn the importance of having savings. Ask your Grandmother about the Great Depression and the value of savings. Who knows what the situation will be when it's time for you to go to college. Your savings may turn out to be your only chance to go; your hinge-pin or keystone to your future. You don't ever touch your savings for frivolity until there is excess, and you don't have any excess. Don't live your life being frivolous; prepare to do something profound. Money can help you do that; lack of money makes you a bum, destitute, wanting, needing, always asking and taking from others rather than standing on your own two feet and going places. If you always want to remain in the position of a child (listening to your headphones or whatever), just keep acting like one.
How can I convince my parent to let me use my own money? I am 15 and have a 3.8 GPA yet my parents don't let me use my own money on things I want even though I have the funds for it?
There is a valuable lesson to learn about saving money. What you want and what you will need is a difficult thing to understand.You seem to be confusing your hard work and expected degree of trust from your parents. They seem to have done a good job raising you, the next three years have many more lessons you may not understand today or as they teach these lessons. You really need to trust them, even learn to communicate better with them.Start by showing them enough maturity to respect the lesson they may be trying to show you. Then show them how you negotiate. The combination of respect and negotiation may prove to them you understand there is more behind their “no” answer.Life will be full of bosses who you might feel they have no reason not give you a raise, time off or allow you to do your job the way you want to.You may feel you deserve the bonus promised or might not get. In your mind you already spent the bonus or worse you may actually have taken on debt. Its important to learn to save, before you learn to spend.It doesnt seem unreasonable to help you learn about real life. As an adult, you will often work very hard and pay for basic needs. The lesson is one you need to become comfortable with early rather than later.
How do I convince my dad to let me get a part-time job?
Just tell your dad that it’s a paid part time job.
