So as in a previous post. I’ve been offered again a significant bit of money for xmas this year. That has some available and I feel like they’ve done a heck of a lot for me over the years including really helping me out financially when I moved to America.
When I moved to America I was paying less than 50 cents in the dollar exchange rate so they really did help me out as my money went quickly.
I was going to say no but dad has offered it saying it’s a gift and he’ll probably not be able to do it now and he’d like to to accept it. Anyways. I’m thinking of just saying yes. I can buy a really good gaming monitor or something…I’m kinda conflicted as I still help the house out and will continue to do so. I’m thinking of just saying yes. A kind gesture is that and I’ll still be able to help out the house. Thoughts??
In my experience, when a person gets older they start giving away their money to loved ones to prepare for the end because of whatever personal reasons that are usually something along the lines of wanting those they love to be taken care of and happy.
I think you should take it. Even if you don’t spend it right now.
Yeah @LED . He’s still going strong but has some issues. Like the money doesn’t really worry me. Sure it’s nice to buy some things I may never have got but I think that is the course to take. As you say it’s not like I need much so i’d use it for something I wouldn’t have gotten which would be cool.
I think you should take it. If the rest of the family is taking it and if it won’t hurt your father financially then I think it would be perfectly fine to accept it. You probably need it (and would appreciate it more) than the rest of your family. Let him do this for you. He knows he’s helped you with money in the past and if he still wants to give you this gift then take it.
It’s Christmas! Accept it in the spirit it is given!
Yeah I’m going to do it and thanks for the advice @Joker and @eighteyedspy23 . I think I’ll use it to buy something I never would have. It’s a nice thing and I’m appreciative of it and I can still help out like I always do regardless.
If I won the lotto tomorrow I’d still be looking after the old man. That is what is important and it’s nice he can do what he’s doing to all us kids. Much peace friends.
