don’t care what anyone else says; the greatest perk about having your own money is being able to buy a whole jar of strawberry mermalade for yourself to eat with a spoon without having to go through all the cutlery in the house because it’s all yours so you don’t have to worry about other people consuming droplets of your saliva, meaning that you don’t have to get a new spoon for every scoop and your mother won’t absolutely destroy you verbally beacuse now there is only one spoon to wash instead of 20.
