For those of you who have had to move out of your parental home for any other reason than marriage, how much financial support did you recieve from your familly?
Did you have to ask for it or was it offered?
Do/did you have to pay it back to them once they felt you are/were financially stable enough to do so?

..... i was offered by someone, but i refused.
Re: Financial support from family
Family helped me through uni and I never asked for it. I had savings which I also used during the course of my degree but others helped as well. Nobody has ever sai they expect me to pay anything back.
I do feel that soon, now that I have finished, I will start contributing to the bills and groceries because my parents would never take it back in any other form. Don't know how I will pay back my aunts and uncles. Maybe help their children when they begin uni or give money at birthdays.
Re: Financial support from family
After my divorce I didnt want to live with family because I felt burdensome especially with my moodswings and major depression.... I couldnt stand their pitiful glances and how they were constantly walking on eggshells around me... I felt way too babied and suffocated. I moved to a completely different state and I've been lucky enough to have such a loving father who literally paid every single penny for my furnishings, apartment, phone bills, car insurance, everythinggggggg.
Ive been living with my sister and husband for about two years now and they pay for alot of my stuff but my main source of "income" has been my father. He's paid for my entire education, my needs, and my wants.
Nobody expects me to pay them back but im planning on saving up and surprising them with a huge monetary present one day.
Re: Financial support from family
I have been out of my home since an early age and pretty much never really asked for any allowances since the past 15 years ... though parents sometimes insist I tell them if I need the money , but Alhamdullillah I am fine and doing well myself ..
but if i were to seek allowance from family, i guess it would greatly depend on the parents economic standing and their responsibilities and the kind of lifestyle you are looking to maintain , away from home... a friend of mine gets her parents to give her 1500 pounds every month .. which is good enough ...

Get no financial support and ask for none. I'm my own man, not my family's.

Re: Financial support from family
my dad is a self made person n he instilled the same values with in us siblings without any gender based discrimination. So since hi-skool I m not only paying for all my expenses ( that includes education up 2 the business skool) but also contributing to the family's expenses. the last pocket money I got was I think 5 riyals :@:.
My siblings do help each other out when some 1 is in need but try 2 keep their accounts straight coz these things can jepordize relations. Myself personally has always tried not 2 ask frm any 1 and forget wat others owe me. Being an older sibling it seems like a responsibility 2 help others rather than an ehsan.
