actually there's something that's been on my mind lately. but I don't know how to approach it. ... I want to just have my own bank account. right now, mum has access to my account, and it's not that I mind... actually yes I do mind. because I often feel like I don't have control over my account, like I don't know exactly how much I have. and because of that, I'm not really learning to save. she's doing that for me, by transferring $200 of my funds to another account to earn more interest.
but really, I don't really know how much of what's in my account is mine (because she gives me $120 allowance now since uni started). plus other stuff, so money is here and there and everywhere. so I'm thinking, if I do end up getting a job, that I'll just open another account at my credit card's bank provider. I just don't know whether that'll offend her somewhat. am I being a bit too much? I don't know. actually this has been on my mind for a while, but I don't know how to approach her about it. any ideas?
