AITA for refusing to give my mom my savings after she found out how much I have? (19F) I’m 19F, currently in college and still living at home. I’ve been working part-time since I was 16 and I’m really strict about saving. I don’t go out much, don’t buy expensive stuff, and I’ve managed to save a decent amount (around $4k). Last week my mom asked me to log into my banking app to transfer money for groceries because her card “wasn’t working.” While I was doing that, she saw my total savings. She went quiet and later that night told me that since I’m living under her roof, I should contribute more and that it’s “**selfish**” of me to hoard money while she’s struggling.
She asked me to give her $2k to “help the family” and said I could *always* earn it back.
The thing is, she’s not unemployed or anything. She works full-time. We’re not rich, but we’re not in crisis either.
I already pay for my own school stuff, my phone bill, and sometimes groceries. I was saving that money in case I move out or for emergencies.
When I said I wasn’t comfortable giving that much, she called me **ungrateful** and said I’m acting like a “tenant” instead of a daughter.
Now my relatives are saying I should help because “family helps family,” but I feel like she only wants it because she saw how much I had.
