My dad does the same. He gives me money and then tells me to give the extra i have back. when it's not a lot of money i have extra, for example 1$-10$, he lets me keep it. and besides, it is his money that's he's letting you use. I think he's just giving you that much money incase you need it for anything. [ lovelyrics's advice column | Ask lovelyrics A Question ]
pup answered Monday July 16 2007, 7:47 pm: Yes I think it is unfair because this is comming from a girl that LOVES MONEY!! But then I don't know why he gave it to you. When I usually get money I fight back and say no this is my money, I want it!! Then i keep it. [ pup's advice column | Ask pup A Question ]
ASAPcamille answered Monday July 16 2007, 5:37 pm: Personally, I think it is and isnt. He may have meant that he would give you as much as you need, and he would take the rest.
But, he may have given it to you, implying you could keep the change.
It was his money, so talk it out with him. [ ASAPcamille's advice column | Ask ASAPcamille A Question ]
WittyUsernameHere answered Monday July 16 2007, 5:36 pm: Is it fair?
Its not your money. He gave you money to go spend, and Im sure on some level he appreciates that he got some of it back.
If you feel like you kind of got shafted, well thats because youre looking back realizing you could have spent it all.
Mackenzie answered Monday July 16 2007, 5:35 pm: Absolutely, it's his money to begin with. He was nice enough to give it to you to spend, but you didn't spend all of it. Therefore, you should be curteous enough to give it back to him if you don't need it. That's all part of being responsible and considerate. Or you could think of it this way, I guarantee you that he will remember your returning the money to him. And if you do that without pitching a fuss, he is more likely to loan you money again in the near future. Why hold onto it if you don't need it? Why can't you view it as your Dad helping you out and making sure you spend it on what you truly require? Believe it or not, parents aren't enemies. He's only seeing to it that you don't put your money into a poor investment. Think of all he's done for you throughout your life - why not give back to him what you can for all that he's given to you? [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
