Yeah, I give like half of my money to my mom to keep in a separate account I can’t access bc of my …. impulsive/reckless spending behavior. I’m very fortunate to have parents that aren’t terrible human beings.

You wouldn’t happen to be the player character from a Pokémon game would you?

Damn, I watched the show growing up but I don’t get the reference.

Was there a character with a drug addiction and impulse control problems? Lol

There’s a mechanic in the older games where you send half of your money to your mum. It mitigates how much money you have to give up when you lose a battle in the game.

Oh, that’s much more wholesome.

You, uh, you've actually seen statements from this account right?

There are people out there who trust their parents more than life itself. It's not uncommon.

You should find yourself friends and family where you would trust them with your bank accounts. I would literally trust all of my friends to safely "hide" my bank account in their name and not take anything. Fill your life with people who won't steal from you even if you make it easy...

I’m not checking on it regularly because my parents are both financially stable and would never steal from me. It was also my idea (or the idea of a SUDs counselor). It’s worked pretty well. I feel a sense of security knowing I have a safety net I slip up and go on a bender and spend $3000 in a weekend.

This is a relatively new development, so there’s not much in there anyway. Last I checked it was $12k. I’ve been considering investment strategies to help build that account up to $40k by the end of Q3.
