Mom locks her 19-year-old daughter’s $50,000 inheritance into a 5-year savings account to keep it safe from reckless purchases: ‘Her boyfriend was spending the money’

Hey, stop it! I see you judging this whole situation like anyone at nineteen was calmly dollar cost averaging their income. At that age most people would have turned fifty thousand into a best-of compilation of bad purchases and worse life decisions, so the odds are very high that this girl will eventually look back and realize her mother was the accountant of reason in a very loud, very messy chapter. For now though, like most teenagers handed both grief and a pile of cash, it is all grunting, yelling, and dramatic exits.

There is a sad kind of predictability to how it played out. Money arrives, boyfriend starts circling like a kid in a toy store, and big ticket items somehow jump to the front of the line before basics like tuition, rent, or any kind of safety cushion. The first chunk goes out the door on a truck and a four wheeler, and suddenly the parent who actually understands how quickly that well can run dry has to decide whether to watch the rest vanish or grab the brakes. Locking the remainder in a five-year account without warning is blunt, but it is also the only move left that guarantees there will still be something there when the breakup dust settles.
