Most of the people i know are given things on a silver spoon. They rather refer to mommy's money or daddy's money to live off, and look at me funny when i prefer to stand on my own two feet. I may not be able to handle all of my finances at age 17, but i handle most of them or meet my parents half way.
Why run back to my parents when i have the ability to maintain independence? I don't want to have to depend on my parents when i go off to college, yes they're here for support mentally, but i don't feel comfortable always expecting them to do something that i can easily try to do myself.
It's not a bash against those who need the help from their parents, it's just an urge for independence in my generation. I see people driving around in high luxury cars and don't have the gas money to fill up the tank. While I'm working hard for what i love to call mines, they just put their hands out and ask for money with only the labor of putting their hand out. When you use your parents money you have major limits on what you are spending it on rather than the freedom of holding your own. So boss up and make your own money and still get a little help at the same time because then you can learn how to be independent and learn how to start relying more on yourself.
Like my grandmother always says " why by a $200 purse if you don't even have $50 to put in it?"
