So I’m 23F with a bachelor’s in biology. I’m currently living with my parents while I’m in nursing school (I’m returning to that in Aug). I bought my car with their help 2 years ago (like 18,000 me/7,000 them) and I’m expected to help around the house which is so fair.
The problem is, they watch my food intake and if I spend any money anywhere. What brought this on was the bank statement on my bed with every time I spent money highlighted- including money I owed to the government for taxes.
I’m a pharmacy tech so I don’t make a lot. I’m starting a new job next week but it’s further (I pay for gas) for about the same amount of money. They comment every time I buy anything out, and aren’t afraid to tell me that it will make me overweight.
With paying for gas and my phone bill, I can’t afford to move out at least for a while. What else can I do to help this situation, and is it just a first world problem in that I’m spoiled and don’t realise that this is actually lucky?

Are your parents on your account? If not, go paperless and don’t give them access to your acct.
Why are they on you about food/weight? What’s the back story?. That’s not normal..
