I'm in my 20s and have been saving like crazy and my mom is pressuring me to get access to my savings account - should I give in?

A 24-year-old Reddit user faces pressure from her parents, especially her mother, to grant them access to her savings account. Despite her willingness to help financially during emergencies, she resists providing direct access, feeling it undermines her independence. Her mother’s request stems from recent family financial challenges, including unexpected medical costs. The OP has supported her family in the past but believes managing her financial future should remain private. This dilemma raises questions about the balance between family duty and personal financial autonomy.

"I believe I can help out when it's necessary, but giving direct access to my account feels too invasive and undermines my independence."

"My mother asserts she needs access because of recent financial struggles in the family, but I feel I can support them without compromising my privacy."
