in my circle most of my friend are always wishing that their father should be rich like bill gates and they held their parents responsible for not providing them luxuries and few even had fight with them. and they them self do nothing to improve their life.
but at the age of 21 i stoped asking for money from my parents . all they provide me is food, education fee and shelter. even they never refuse to give me money but i think that now i should take care of my extra expenses . so i try to earn from here and there.
what about you????

our son doesn’t exactly accuse us for not being rich and we also don’t indulge him, if at all, but sometimes we as parents feel that maybe we should have had more money. We get to spend so little time with our child, most of the time we are busy and earning for the future, we are sometimes surprised as to how our son is growing up. Yes, we could do with a little more money.

At my present status of life i have my own family and no need to ask money from my parents. But when i was at your age I always ask my parents to provide me all I need even I was 21. They don't have any obligation to provide us especially if we are already graduate and finish studying at that certain age we are sure we have our own job already. That was the time that we need to practice ourselves to be independent to our parents. But still they need to supervise us until we get matured.

I used to lament of what I lacked in life but I have learned from my experiences and have finally appreciated the way I turned out. I am proud of how I turned out coming from a poor family. At 16 years old I had to learn to become independent from my parents and support myself through college. I have realized, I am what I am today because of my hardwork and hardships and I am really better as a person because of it. I cannot say that I may have turned our differently if I had a rich parents. But I am definitely fine as I am.

It seems that more or less we are in the same boat. Even i do not feel like asking for extra money because it just isn't right.Parents have done so much and they are still doing and love us.Like you I too feel restless to start earning as fast as I could. But that will have to wait till I complete my studies. As you are aware that in our country we students do not have much option of earning small bucks in a respectable manner, so it leaves us with the option of earning just online.
Now you interesting statement about rich father. lol. Who wouldn't like to have a billionaire father but who also should be a good human and a good parent. You have also a few more options such as......a rich wife or husband and in-laws.

What ever we earn through hardwork speaks much louder then our father's property...spending our money is lot more different from spending father's...we have to live in our own earning that's real human being...depending on others is equal to disable...so earn through hardwork...don't look after father's..
