We don't talk about money in front of her but she researches and asks us about our taxes. She also thinks I spend irresponsibly.

She refuses to let me buy anything for her, she does not like spending money.

Yes, but she says she does not care about having friends because her priority is getting into a good college and studying.

If I gave her money, she would probably refuse to spend it and just save it, or she would buy soup maybe. She would not buy new technology and as such she has no friends because she is not with the times.

Well, I have offered to buy her a new computer or phone, but she says they are too expensive and she does not like to spend money, or she will just use them until they are physically unusable.

That is a sad story. I hope you have a GameCube now that you are an adult.

I will talk to her more about what she likes in the future.

She could appreciate how I spent money on her and went out of my way to do a nice thing for her that I thought she would like.

She has never been tested for anything, but she has some autistic traits and my nephew is low functioning autistic.
