if you are living with him now talk about a set rent amount. then give him that amount. then just give him that amount. get a bank acct and put everything else in the acct so he can't touch it..this way you are being accountable for your $$. you are not a minor he doesn't need to control your $$ unless you are disabled and require such help. if you are not then perhaps it is time to grow up and act like the adult. it's ok to need some help to crash land but be the adult that a 22 yr old should be..and let him know to be the 26 yr old he needs to be.

No, I know I should be more responsible, I’m not disabled. He just told me he wanted to help (since I have a history of being stupid with money and most things). I have tried to bring this up with him but he gets very angry and starts yelling. I already have enough problems with my family and I don’t want to piss him off. I know it’s not the best situation but I don’t want to start any more conflict...
