If people could make it so that other people couldn't have things just because the original person doesn't have those things then everyone would have nothing in the end.
Um...I wasn't criticising your parents, Fred. And I have left home now, although still under their auspices, as they're paying for my (very expensive) eddumacation....

They did give me money every month to buy my own clothes and stuff and teach me budgeting. It didn't entirely go as planned, though, because instead of setting money aside every month, I just saved it all and shopped exclusively at thrift stores.
