My parents are the ones who pay for the gas, bills, buying groceries, and other necessities using the money that they earn. I save all the money I earn from my job and seldom buy stuff compared to my parents. The few purchases I made were not necessary for me to survive, but I really wanted it. My parents and I always consider the price of something before we buy it so as to not waste money. Also, we always try to save up some of our money as well.
