What ' s in a name ? <| sep |> This team isn ' t fair <| sep |> There are too many posts to read through here . But I ' m going to say this , you parents should not know anything about your money . You can ask people for advice without telling them what your financial position is . Now , maybe there ' s something everyone doesnt know here , maybe your parents have you some of this money or some other reason why they feel they can involve themselves . Do your parents have great savings habits ? Do you respect them when it comes to finances and money management ? As many have pointed out here I guess you could move out of it becomes contentious around this topic . My idea is simple , just don ' t talk to them about YOUR money then you don ' t have to hear their opinions or comments . As others have suggested research and learn how to properly invest . You will have life goals coming up so the market may or may not be right for you short term . You will buy a house , you may or may not get married . All these things that you will need money for .
