Hey so for those who don't know, I have cancer and should be dead by some point between March and May and I'm having an argument with my mum and dad: I think that if, come January/February, it's COMPLETELY terminal and there is no magical healing about to happen, I SHOULD be able to spend at least 3/4 of my life savings to do what I want. I have about £1300 in my bank account and I've been saving for any future expenses (college resources, mortgage etc) but it's obvious that's not gonna happen. My dad doesn't really know what's right but my mum is COMPLETELY against it and says I should use it for something good  (she mentioned leaving my money in my will which sounds quite like she wants my money ) but I want to buy some CDs, games etc just so I can fill my time during my last few months but I would also buy clothes and stuff that I would use a lot of the time. I just want to know what other people would want to do in my situation and if you'd let your kid do it too

If I was a parent, I'd probably let my child have a good deal of freedom with the money they had saved if they were about to die. However, I would want them to make unselfish decisions (but wouldn't force them to). I think they would have a lot of regrets if they spent it all on themselves before they died. Even if they wouldn't save the money or will it to somebody, I'd want them to use it in a way that helps others, not just themselves, so that they could die happy. You can't take your belongings with you when you die. But you can take memories that you've made here, such as the smiles and laughs you've given, the kindness you've shown, and the good times you've spent with your family. Media can be brilliant, and I love video games to death. But if that's all you spend your time doing, your mind will deteriorate, and you will grow bored. I had a long period of time when that was just about all I did. And I had fun. But I regret it now, since I am feeling the consequences of my actions from then. I find it harder to sleep or do schoolwork (which I love). I find it harder to relate to others or talk with them face-to-face. It has brought more sorrow into my life than joy. But that doesn't mean I'll give up video games. Certainly not! They are an important part of my life. But if I make them more important than family, I will be miserable. I've actually been encouraged by my mother to quit. I have not heeded her call, and I'm not sure I will. I hesitate because she has not played and enjoyed video games like I have. She looks down on most of them, instead of trying them and possibly enjoying them a lot. And sadly, she is among those semi-addicted to Candy Crush. I wish she would get more variety in her games, and play games that aren't so heavily built around luck. Candy Crush and gambling have many things in common. She has avoided spending money on it, but it still concerns me. I really want someday for our family to be more involved in gaming, and spend quality time doing it together each day.

OK OK, rant over.

If it is your money, and you earned it, I think you should be allowed to do whatever you want with it. However, if it has been given to you by your parents, then you should at least consider what they think you should do with it.
