Misc was it wrong for me Dad to do this to me?

[miscunsername]

My dad is a senior citizen, and I am a minor. Ever since he retired, the government sent me 865 dollars in social security money. He retired two years ago. I just turned 18, and I got a mysterious check in the mail with my name on it. I open it, and wtfman. Its my check, straight from the treasury. Now whats wrong? I didn't know I got this. I have never seen the check, it always went to my dad's account through direct deposit. My mom did tell me that the government sent my dad money to take care of me. I didn't know that I actually got a check in my name, I didn't know that the money was MINE. My dad never spent 800 dollars on me a month. I don't think he ever did that in a year. I always assumed we were very poor hence why we didn't have money to get me iphones, ipods, a lot of clothes, video games, etc. My dad says the money went to rent. My mom doesn't know, their finances are separate. My dad didn't say anything about my current check because he knows I have to sign it and only I can cash it because im an adult.


Was it wrong that my dad spent my money on rent? I never even knew I had the money until yesterday.

I did the math and he spent approximately 20,000 of all my money. He also gets his own check of equal value.

in for answers

[raducote]

why are u getting 800 dollar checks? ur disabled or something?

[AriGhold]

lol wut? your dad's money from social security is his. the only way you are entitled to it is if he dies while you are a minor.

[starhunk]

you're in the wrong. before you were 18 he couldn't kick you out so he had to pay for you to live under his roof, now that you're 18, and he's not getting the cheques, it's up to him if he wants to kick you out and you can buy your own rent and food with that money.

[3lixer]

Yo OP. THis your pops?

It has my ****ing name on it.

minor children of retired people get checks

[C0sta]

No, because if you were living with your dad he spent it on rent so you would have somewhere to live. It doesn't say anywhere the money is supposed to go on buying you stuff, its to support you.

[bustermac]

I'm paying for your leeches.

Just kidding.


But, I don't understand why he would get money to take care of you unless one of you has a disability. You're making it sound like something separate from normal SS for retiring.

In any case, he should be using it to support you and he is. You've had a free ride in life so far. Thank him. He doesn't owe you a penny. In fact, you owe him for being a supportive father.

ITT: op deserves money he did nothing in any way, shape or form to earn.

No, that is not your cash bra. That is your dad's cash that is now yours since you are 18. The check you received is yours, all the others were not.

[raducote]

minor children of retired people get checks

well considering he worked all his life to retire and that's the only reason ur getting the check, i'd say he was in the right on spending that money how ever he chose.

why are u still getting the check now that ur not a minor, tho?

[Coolhandsluke]

I don't understand why you are getting checks from social security period?????

[AngryDuck]

I've no idea how the social security system works in America, but what's the problem with him paying the rent with the money so you have somewhere to live?

Don't like it? Get out and see how much you can get with $800 a month.

[mkramer2]

It has your name on it now that you are 18.

PS, you deserve $0.

[cjR904]

would you rather have iphones, ipods, and chit or a roof over your f****** head OP?

Up to 20 or in secondary school.

I don't understand why you are getting checks from social security period?????

I am the son of a retired man and I am under 20, and still going to school.

[AriGhold]

okay i did look it up. OP gets money because his dad is retired under social security and he is still currently a minor. but the money is there so he can care for you so if your dad is using it to pay bills he is doing nothing wrong. it's not like it's your money to go out and buy some beats headphones and weed.

It usually doesn't work like this. Of course, that's probably because OP has no clue what he's talking about.

[CheeseSteak]

i side with your dad on this

[CrossCounter]

if you want to claim it, get da fuk out of his house and get your own place

I can do a whole lot. I know many people. I couldn't do that to my parents.

It has your name on it now that you are 18.

I think it always had my name on it though.

would you rather have iphones, ipods, and chit or a roof over your f****** head OP?

The thing is I think he already had the means to pay rent. Or else I would be proud to give him my money to pay rent.

[RussWheeler]

So you're telling me that if you retire your govt just gives you money to take of your kids? Why wouldn't everyone just retire and receive free cheques from the govt?

And OP, go get a job and stop whining.

[TriggerWarning]

Send me the cheque and I can figure all this out for you

[miscunsername]

So you're telling me that if you retire your govt just gives you money to take of your kids? Why wouldn't everyone just retire and receive free cheques from the govt?

I have a job *******. Actually thinking of quitting my job because Social pays a lot more.

edit: How do you think black people drive nice ass cars and nice clothes? The government WILL take care of you.

[raducote]

Do the right thing and continue to give him your checks even though you don't have to.

[Solubus]

Okay. You know if God told him to use the money for you, he should. However, did he use your money wrong? Yes. That is because he should have told you at least because God would have told him to tell you about the money. The money did go to rent. That's expensive nowadays. If you have at least 3 people in your home and you live in San Francisco and each of you have your own room, then the rent can go up to 4000 a month. He should have spent the money on rent because he is a retired senior citizen and it is hard for him to get money in work.

If you think about it this way,you're actually a minor but it is easier for you to get a job using a resume than he is. There is a sort of discrimination against senior citizens and them getting jobs.

You won't be poor forever, though. God is watching over you.

well here's the thing OP ... you didn't give him anything either way ... the govt gave HIM money to take care of YOUR ass .. see how that works?
