My parents keep asking me for money, what do I do?

If the amount is within my capabilities, I don’t mind to give them the money. But I will also look at what is the purpose they need the money, if its for gambling or drinking, I won’t give. But its for their basic necessities or travelling, I don’t mind to give as this is part of our responsibilities.

Firstly, you should spend quality time with your parents and find out the reason why they are asking this money from you. For instance, it could be for an emergency, to supplement their living needs, or merely to seek your attention. As a result, the only way to find out is to have an open conversation with them - spend more time listening than to talk.

Next, we need to have a complete understanding on our cashflow. Through this process, we will understand our earning ability and spending habit. Here is a guide to help you: https://www.blog.pzl.sg/understanding-your-pers...
