As the cost of living crisis continues to bite and more and more people are hit in the pocket, one woman sought advice online after her 18-year-old daughter refused to contribute towards bills despite having more 'disposable cash' than her mum. The dilemma sparked a huge debate online.
Taking to social media, the woman claims that, after finishing college, the daughter earns more than £800 a month working at a popular supermarket. According to the mum, and reported by the Mirror, the job features a variety of perks including receiving discounted prices on food shopping. However, she says the teen has refused to contribute money towards bills despite having more 'disposable cash' than her.
She explained: "My daughter is 18. She finished college last year and is taking some time to decide what she wants to do, etc. Since August she's worked at a well-known supermarket, earning just a bit above minimum wage and about 30 hours a week. Her employer gave her a staff discount card for a family member as well as herself which was saving me quite a bit on the shopping. I still charged her £50 a month which I think is reasonable, considering she has been earning around 800 a month. She has more disposable cash than me".
