Living with your parents who do not understand your generation or personality is hard enough. I am a full time student at DeVry as University and I receive disability for my services in the Air Force. I work extremely hard at keeping my grades up, and paying my bills while under their roof. I have a boyfriend in North Dakota whom I am planning on seeing in June so I bought my plane ticket through Expedia which have really good deals. The only openings that were available for a flight were for First Class so I figured why not I'll reward myself for a change. My parents immediately think I am just wasting money left and right. Ugh typical. I try to keep my financial affairs from their prying eyes me being twenty-six years old seeing as I am entitled to monetary privacy. In fact I consider it rude to ask about such expenses of anyone below the age of eighteen. I don't stick my nose into my parents finances so they really don't have a right to dictate how I spend my money nor complain on what I use it on as long as its not illegal. Anyway they blow up because of a status I posted on FB which was not even about them was placed on my status.

 **Newflash: I am 26 years old and a fully grown adult you DO NOT have any right to dictate how I spend my money nor COMPLAIN about it because its not coming from your personal expenses. I worked damned hard for what I get and therefore I can buy whatever the hell I please with it. Stop hating on me for what I do with my life. Pay attention to your own for a change.**

My stepsister who has no business in what I post calls tattle-telling on me like a four year old child. She's in her thirties and is no angel herself with her high alcohol problems. Not going to rag on her anymore. My stepmother says she'll deal with the situation as if I were a sixteen year old all over again. I show them the status with no fear saying that their names were not even mentioned and not everything is about them. I vent on FB despite what others may think they can draw their own conclusions. So my stepmother has the gall to say I didn't earn anything from the VA. I served valiantly for three years my superiors were just assholes and dogged me for every little mistake regardless of how hard I tried to make things better. I don't take those kinds of insults so I put her straight in her place ... my spermdonner of a father took her side and commanded me to my room. I told him I wouldn't want to waste my energy spending time with them anyway as they are no better than irresponsible people who dig themselves in a grave of debt.  So with that I made the decision to no longer be their meal ticket and save up for a place of my own. Many others on my friend status do agree that my landlords (I have disowned them for their betrayal and for their vial nature) have no right to be so controlling of me.

I tell them my financial affairs are not their business regardless of what two sense they put in. Its a real shame because I was planning on helping them out but due to last night's confrontation they can wallow in their credit debt. I won't let their reputation ruin mine. Respect for no authority my ass my dad claims well for all I care he can rot if that's what he thinks of me. I'll be moving out once I have enough saved. I have a contingency plan in the works.
