My Mom Keeps Controlling My Finances—And My Life! 😡

I’m a 21-year-old guy, and lately, my mom has been obsessed with controlling every cent I spend. She constantly questions my purchases, wants to know where every dollar goes, and even suggested we should have a joint bank account—like, seriously? Last week, she freaked out because I bought myself a new phone, saying I was wasting 'family money.' I work hard for my paycheck, but she acts like it’s all hers! It’s getting to the point where I feel like I have zero privacy or independence. Is this normal? Am I being unreasonable for wanting to manage my own finances? How do I set boundaries without starting World War III at home? Help me out, because I’m losing my mind here! 😤💸 #FamilyFinance #Independence #MoneyMatters #RomanticRelationships

some mothers are like yours but not all .if you are 21 she has.no business to tell you what she wants . if you have a decent job it's good if you can get your own place to live and get out of her house. as long as you live with her she will continue to do what she.does .Do you have a dad ?? if so talk to him. if not keep your cool til you can move out away from her.but no mother of a 21 year old.should know all that she knows of YOUR business.
