My parents gave me a credit card I can use that's under their name, it's supposed to be for college supplies and food but I'm using it on booze some of which I trade for drugs is it normal?
When they catch on they'll probably cancel that card, dumbass.
Drugs are bad!!!
Whatever, it's not cool to steal from your folks so you can barter for drugs.
What kinda drugs are you doing anyway? I think pot is alright, but you didn't specify. Anyway, get a part time job instead of stealing.
Maybe his parents are rich assholes that are living off their parents money, a majority of rich people live off others.
Also if you're 18, you can just apply for your own card and ruin your own credit!
You are a loser in the making. You will never complete college. You will fuck your mind, lower your own IQ, and fail your first goal in life.
Well from personal experience I'd say perhaps it's normal, but I can assure you, you're risking losing your parents trust. I mean, they trust you enough to give you a credit card. I'm not sure but most parents should expect their kids to party some in college... I'd just say keep everything in moderation and do half decent in school and you should be fine.
Exactly, I myself received a credit card on my Father's account and I used it for all sorts of crap that my Father did not agree on.
Later, I asked my Father if I could get a small loan to get me a cheap car so I could get to my first job. My Father remembering the incident refused to lend me the money. I could not mutter a single word against my Father because he was right.
I can't believe it I found a post that thegypsysailor hasn't commented on yet
It's normal, but speaking from experience, it's a horrible idea.
I spent three years buying whatever I wanted with the credit card my mom gave me, from clothes to presents for my then-boyfriend to nice dinners out. My mom didn't want to look like a jerk, but she honestly couldn't afford it. She eventually went ballistic over something unrelated and cut me off completely. She's never come out and said it, but I really think she was mad about my spending and the cost of my education, and how I acted like I was entitled to it all.
I was left to figure out how to pay $4,000 worth of debt at a 15% interest rate with no real job in addition to getting student loans to pay for my last year of college, and my relationship with my mom was trashed. It's been over a decade, and it still has not recovered. We are virtually estranged. I've since paid off the credit card debt, but I still have student loan debt from that last year of school.
DON'T DO THIS. You might think your relationship with your parents isn't important or just want to live for the moment, but believe me-- in a matter of years, you will regret this. Contrary to popular belief, life does not end after college, and you will want to have a clean slate with good credit and no debt, and you will want a close relationship with your parents in your post-education years.
