Should I give my dad my money?
Don't give it to him. However, I recommend you find a new hiding place. I guarantee you that you aren't the first person to hide money in their room. Your Dad may look there eventually and your money may end up gone despite your efforts. Maybe you could rent a post office box and then open a new bank account and have the statements go to the mailbox. Also, resist buying yourself anything else that would show you still have extra money.
My boyfriend never spends money on me only on himself?
I know this may sound bratty but read on. So we have been dating for 6 months now and I'm 18 and he's 17 so we both pretty much rely on our parents money. He gets 60 cash every WEEK for food and gas and stuff and i have a credit card that i can only use on food and gas (my dad tracks everything). Every week he gets his money he goes to the mall and blows it on clothes, leaving me to drive us EVERYWHERE because he has no gas, and pay for both of our food. My dad is going crazy. Its not my job to take care of him. Recently i stopped paying for his food and when I'm hungry i get myself food and he always ends up taking at least half of it. its not fair. And i still buy him nice things. I only get 40 a MONTH to spend on clothes or anything else, i got a lot of money on my birthday that was 6 months ago, about $500, and I've saved a lot of it. He borrowed 100 from me 5 months ago and it still hasn't been paid back. I have gotten him $50 shoes, $80 watch, $20 video game, and a few shirts i forgot how much. The only thing he has ever gotten me was a $20 pair of sandals. I'm not trying to be materialistic but its nice to know someone cares enough to get you something nice once in a while. He just sold some of his stuff and he has a little over 100, plus he has a job and i don't. its frustrating and i have told him many many times that i want him to try to make an effort to spend money once in a while. I love him so please no "just break up with him" responses.
My dad is a big miser! Is there any way to make him spend more?
You're having a wrong perception that a person being a miser is a bad thing.In this whole world, there is no one more generous than a miser- the man who could deplete the world's resources but chooses not to. If a miser earns a dollar and refuses to spend it- the rest of the world becomes a dollar richer because they produced a dollar 's worth of good and didn't consume them.Now coming to your question your dad doesn't own you anything except giving proper daily incentives to help you in growing up and paving a good career for you.You're accusing your millionaire dad of being a miser. I will give you an example of one of the most richest person(Billionaire Warren Buffett) in this world who doesn't give his children a single penny unneccesarily.He's already a billionaire and still making money at tremendous rate but still chooses not to help his children financially.Once, his daughter Susan Alice Buffett asked his father for a loan of $41,000, for the renovation of her kitchen. To which, he said, go to bank and do it like everyone else. And, moreover after his death he has decided to donate the bulk of his fortune to Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and four other philanthropies, leaving almost nothing to his children.Remember one thing, a person who knows how to make money even knows how to spend it and he surely doesn't need to learn it from you.
How should child support money be spent?
Child support is expected to be spent on the child's expenses, including food, shelter, clothing and educational needs. They are not meant to function as "spending money" for the child. Unfortunately, this means that your mom can spend all of the child support on household bills (like rent, utilities, food, etc) while she spends her own money on herself. This is what my mom did. I rarely got new clothes and she *never* bought me any toys. But she was always buying herself fancy clothes and jewelry and taking vacations without me. Some parents are just selfish and greedy like that. One solution is to tell your dad what's going on. Ask that he buys you new clothes, shoes, etc. In some cases, he might even be able to slightly lower his child support obligation if he can show that he's spending money directly on you.

My dad spends more time with his girlfriend then with me?
Its really starting to get to me. Ever since they met each other on a dating WEBSITE, shes kinda been taking over my dad. Shes really clingy , and they've only known each other ( not been dating like literally known eachother for 6 months Its been getting progressively worse. i see my dad ( just me and my dad) maybe once a week for dinner and shes with him 3 days a week on the weekend. I never sleep over and now its got to the point where when me and my dad would just do things ( like go to the movies, go visit my aunt , kelly ( the girlfriend) comes to. So theres no me and dad time anymore, its me my dad and kelly time. But the thing is , is that Kelly doesn't mean a thing to me. She acts so weird when its us 3, its almost like shes jealous of the attention he gives me. An example is when we were at the movie one time , afterwards me and her went to the bathroom , before i was done she walked out to my dad ( she never waited for me to be finished) and another time that happened, when it was her me and my aunt, she waited for my aunt to be done, but as soon as i got out of the stall she went out to my dad and my aunt waited for me. Its just so f*cking annoying that this girl just takes over. I need time with my dad , i could care less about her, and another thing is when my dad asks me to come over on the weekend to help him out, i had to paint wood with kelly, not my dad. It was just me and her painting. It should have been me and him doing that, spending time together you know? My dad was going to move across the country for work, and he asked kelly to come with him and she said YES! she said yes to move with him and at that point it was 3 MONTHS that they knew each other. I talked to him about it and he bascially said since he was older with more realtionship experience that he knows there gonna be together so why not. It pissed me off, the fact that she would do that, how clingy is that? Its just been getting A LOT worse, i can't do this much longer, i have to talk to him but whenever i try to i just can't , its like i get really emotional around my dad. What would you do about this situation? What should i say? Its got to the point where i feel so uncomfortable around her, and i just want my dad back. Sometimes i cry at night just thinking about it.
I always spend money on my boyfriend on food, gifts and everything. I am afraid that he will leave me in the future and all my investments in him will be a waste. What should I do now?
Despite so many correct answers, couldn't resist myself writing for this one....Your question shows how much we as human being have started belittling the very humanly things called emotions and feelings. You are not worried about wasting your time or emotions on him...but you are worried about money...Would you be asking the same question here...if instead of you he would be buying you gifts and dinner? And if you have started counting your money already...ask yourself very important question-Do you really love him?You have not mentioned any details whether, you feel that your guy is not reciprocating the same feelings towards you...or whether he is going through some financial crisis....but..irrespective of any circumstances the expectation out of the relationships is flawed...He is not a BANK to keep your money safe and return you with some interest.
