You give so much to your parents?

Ok... I met her again. As my brother forgot my standing order to tell all female callers that I'm not home, she managed to contact me and I continued my lie that I didn't receive her sms all this time...

Long story short, she wanted to review my coverage, so another meeting to set up. She was surprised at the amount I gave my parents, but the true ratio was hidden from her as I did not tell her I have allowance. She suggested that I could reduce what I am currently giving to my parents. I gave the excuse that this could approximate my true expenses in the event I move out.

I give a total of 23% of my gross salary to my parents and grandmother. I wonder how much others give.

    Think that's the market rate? I used to give about 20% of my gross salary to my parents too... until the day I became jobless. :(
    I hope to top up my skinny piggy bank fast and to continue to give pocket $ to my parents...
    Hate this poor feeling now... Argh!
