    You are probably better off without the car. From the figures you stated you are paying out well over your JSA income on it then you have other expenses so your savings will disappear

    Thanks for your kind thoughts but I'm just wasting time on here until 10:30 when I need to go and pick up my 16 your old from his part time job. Just like last night when I was waiting up to collect my 18 year old from his part time job.

    You see one is too young to drive (but not to work) and the other can't afford a car (and we can't afford for him to go on our insurance).

    The lovely thing is both will be very grateful to me for doing this and fully understand how expensive cars are.

    Something the OP may not understand

    There seems to an obvious discrepancy between stories here. Op you feel like you're being reasonable, your parents don't. If it were me, id step back and accept their wishes. One of two things will happen over time. Either, your parents will realise how much you contributed towards the car, ran errands for them, washed it etc. Or they won't, because your perception of how much you contributed wasn't as much as you thought. Sometimes we feel like we're putting in all the effort when we're not really. Either way you're gonna be alot better off. So don't stress it

    Who's being a hypocrite? What do you want? A copy of my passport? Proof of the money I have paid?

    It's 1am on a Saturday morning- you must be of the saddest people I have come across in my life.

    Grow up. :rotfl:

    I wasn't here at 1am but it looks like you were.

    Judging your level of maturity- it sounds like your not old enough to run a lemonade stand let alone work a full time job and pay taxes.

    Well sadly I am and even sadder is the amount of years we have to work to pay for those who choose not to.
