'I’m not making her financial decisions, I’m just letting her pet do it': 24-year-old woman trains her roommate's parrot to loudly remind her to budget her money every time she online shops

Parrots are all fun and games, until they start telling you how to live your life…and budget your finances. 

Sometimes, some of our friends need a little push in the right direction when it comes to being more responsible, but we don't want to come across judgmental or controlling…So what better solution than to give that job to someone else, or even something else?

We know not everyone has direct access to a mimicking parrot, but if you can get your hands on one, we do think it could result in a lot more everlasting friendships. When one woman notices her roomie's irresponsible spending habits, she takes it upon herself to teach her roomie's pet parrot to shout, 'budget your money!' every time she opens her laptop to shop online or hears shopping bags crinkling. 

Now, some might call this approach manipulative, whilst others might see it for what it is: utterly genius
