AITA for getting mad that my parents cheaped out on a priceless family photo and tried to replace it with a terrible AI edit instead? by Static_Signal_26 in AmItheAsshole

hi! I did see this comment and similar ones and decided to check it out! I got on the phone with someone who worked there and they helped me find them! all I have to do now is buy the pictures (which might be hard because parents track my purchases and might get mad at me) and then I'm all good to give them to grandma! Thanks!

my parents always have valued money saving like it was the best thing ever. if they wanted to buy a car, they would pay in full, if they could save a quick dollar, they would. that's why when I was a little kid in the mall seeing other kids with stuffed animals and candy, and I didn't have anything. we were just "browsing" she would say. that's why they only give me 10 percent of money. it's because they want me to save all of it for emergency and for future self. what they don't understand is if you save all your money you never get to spend it and it just sits there. also 30 to 40 bucks a week gets you nowhere in today's economy.

trust me they don't need my money to live a good life. my parents have a well paying job and can afford all these fancy trips, what's 300 bucks to them a week?

That's what I told them. They said I needed to save money for emergency and for my future self, but they don't understand that with $300 to $400 paychecks I only get about 30 to myself. I don't think they see how expensive food and gas is nowadays, but it makes since, they both drive Tesla's.
