I'm curious to hear from people who grew up in financially comfortable households, where their parents don't necessarily depend on them financially. Now that you've started working and earning your own money, how do you contribute to your parents or show appreciation for everything they've done for you? Do you give them a monthly allowance, pay for certain expenses, spoil them occasionally, or simply focus on building your own financial future? I'm particularly interested in how you navigate this when your parents actually encourage you to save your money rather than give it to them.   submitted by   /u/Antique_Indication_5 [link]   [comments]
