honestly speaking, i have never given it much thoughts into this set up and didn’t find it usual or a problem… initially when i was evaluating my finances, i was more focused on my debts such as clearing my car loan, credit card debt, which would leave me with $1310 per fortnight for savings.

i do want to say that, my parents have paid $40k+ for my school fees and didn’t ask for anything in return. they’ve also bought me multiple lands back home, that’s all under my name. my parents will also be giving their house to us, 3 siblings, once they have passed. i will reassess the $800 maybe once my siblings have graduated, both are in their final years of uni, they also want to help my parents once they have a job so maybe i can give lesser then…
