So, I have a lot of money saved up and I want two things with it, a Nintendo Switch and the new Animal Crossing game (maybe I'll get some more games too) and a SonarPen. My parents have said that we can go look for the money, but I asked my mom and she said she couldn't find it. My sis broughtit up at dinner and my Dad said it's in an ATM. I was like, "Oh, okay that's where it is!" So I want to ask about it but I feel like a brat who really wants something (I do want something, duh but I'm willing to wait for it) and just wants to talk about money when I bring it up. How do I bring it up without feeling guilty, and when should I bring it up?
This sounds so stupid, I know. Don't make fun of me for it!

It's rarely the wrong decision to be clear and direct.
ReplyThat is true, but when should I bring it up? If it's already in the conversation, that would be easy. I could be like, 'Hey you know what it seems we've forgotten about?" and take it from there. Thanks!
ReplyWhen you're at the dinner table just ask in a loud voice, "Mom, Dad, Where the fuck is my motherfucking money?" "I don't want to have to fuck somebody up." They will give you a quick answer.
ReplyBig question here is, are they saving that money for you for more important things like a college fund?
If I were in your position, I'd just let it go out of mind. Because that money isn't just "in an ATM", it's almost certainly in a bank account. Something that will accrue interest over time.
Say you've got $500 stored away (which sounds like the ballpark range the account would be in, considering its enough to buy a Switch and a couple games). Most banks have an interest rate of around .08% which translates into around $4 interest.
So $500 becomes $504, $508, $512 etc. Over the months and years, you could easily be looking at $1,000. Depending upon how long it'll be in there and how much interest the account actually has.
If I'm wrong and it's not a regular bank account, it's a CD. Which will have drastically higher interest rates.
So I'd just encourage you to inquire about the nature of the money, what it's for and then leave it at that. Don't worry about trying to use it.
But that's just my opinion.
