Invest in a safe and don't tell your parents the code. Either that or only take it out of the atm when you need it. Don't let them borrow any money. Tell them that if they don't borrow it then they won't need to pay it back (although they do still owe you what they've already taken.)

helpjayne agony auntthey are not being very fair maybe instead of giving them money you could rent a flat or something or sit down with them and explain that your grateful for all they have done for you but you earn the money and your not going to be made to feel guilty by them. i think you should stop giving them money they are taking advantage of you perhaps a break from them would be good clear your head so you can think if they really deserve what you've given them.

TasteofIndia agony auntIf you're old enough to get out of your house, I'd move out. If you are living in your parents house for awhile longer, perhaps you can pay them a bit in rent, but it sounds like with all the money they've borrowed, you have paid rent for the next year or two!!

They can't steal your money. Period. Going into your room and stealing your Christmas money was outrageous... lesson learned - hide your money really, really well.

I would tell them straight and plain. Tell them you're saving for your own future and that you can't afford to give them anymore money... be firm. Don't waiver. They're adults and they should be able to figure out something without putting your financial situation in jeopardy.
