I don't know whether this thread should be here but anyway I can't be trusted with money. If I have about £100 in my account, I would feel the need to spend it on stuff which I like to spend on. This could be food or credit for my phone. My dad was kinda shocked when I told him the truth that I had low money in my account. He said "I wonder what you spent it on?".... The money I get is an allowance which is called jobseekers allowance. I get £50 every two weeks and my parents expect me to pay money for housekeeping or rent My dad told me I had to pay about £20. But I gave £10. My boyfriend thinks I shouldn't even be paying. I'm their daughter. I shouldn't even be given money because I'm going to volunteer. I'm not looking for work at the moment. I want to gain experience.

I don't think I should be paid because I would just spend it. My parents are concerned with me spending money. They don't want me spending it on "sweets". But money is there to pay for stuff? Not to sit in my account gathering dust.

Does anyone else have this problem? Could someone give me a word of advice? Thanks
