I've just recently gotten into photography, and I've purchased a Canon Rebel T1i. Well, when i went to buy it, the tax made it go over my budget, by two dollars and fifteen cents. I called up my parents and asked for 2 dollars. My mom then blew her fucking lid on me about how asking for money is taking advantage of her and she didn't agree to pay me and how i should just fucking save more next time- We're not poor, either. Anyone else deal with something like this before?
I remember my boomer grandpa took me and my cousins to lunch once. He got pissed at me for ordering the most expensive thing on the menu... at Taco Bell. How much is a grilled stuffed chicken burrito, like $3.50?
He kind of got fucked in the end. IBEW worker, never spent shit, saved it all for my uncle, my aunt, and my mom, and lost everything to his second wife. Gave my uncle a heart attack.
