im 17 years old and i worked in a summer job and finally saved up to by myself my own laptop. I talked to my parents about it and they took the money and they said they will pick a laptop for me, which i wasnt happy with. They give me a few laptops to choose from, all of them were cheap, crappy, low end laptops. I ask my parents why i couldnt choose my own laptop since it was my own money and they said i didnt need a fancy laptop with high tech things because it was a waste of money.
I asked for my money back but they said no because i might buy a laptop without their permission. Im really angry because theyre telling me what i can and cannot buy with my own money that i worked for, and theyre really controlling about it.
What do i do?
There's an issue though, if they take everything he earns he'll never be able to move forward. I do agree that you're sorta stuck and just have to hold your breath. Once you're 18 you can open your own bank account and that way they can't take your money. I wish you luck though.
