Argument with dad about finances

[Rich0220]

Hello, this is my first time posting..

Anyways, I just had a big argument with my dad about an hour ago.

He started asking me about some charges I had on my credit card and how it went from $180 to $260 in one month. I responded by telling him "well, this month I was late and they charged a $25 late fee". He repeated himself but louder. Then I said "okay I also went out a few times". He got pissed very fast and said that I couldn't be doing that because of how his job hasn't been going so well. He then said that he was going to pay it off and take my card away. I didn't want that so first I said "you don't really have to pay for it if you don't want to..." and he didn't seem to hear me so I said it again. This is when he became furious, and he yelled "oh really?!, well then from now on you can count me and your mother out of paying for anything of yours!!!". I was shocked but I said okay then, and went to brush my teeth and go to bed. He kept saying stuff but I was panicking because I just got a job 3 weeks ago and haven't gotten paid yet. I'm 19, and this is my first job ever. I have no money saved up. On my way to my room he said "start saving money you're buying your own car" <-- that right there was the biggest dick move my dad could ever do. The reason why is because last year, 2 months after I got my drivers license my dad bought me a sports car. However I have not been driving it since then for many reasons (I would be able to drive it in the next 2 months FINALLY) but now he said this....

Part of me wants to move out but then again it seems like a bad idea. I don't know what to do because it feels to me like he got angry that I pretty much said I don't need your help...
I'm going to wait a little while and see if he says anything.
This is such a letdown tho..

Any advice??

Just give your dad a couple days to cool off. My parents threaten me like that all the time, but very rarely do they ever stick to it. He's probably just upset that you charged so much to your card and his feelings are justified. I mean, $180 to $260 is damn near $100 dollars and that can be a lot for someone in this economy.

Like I said, lay low and let things cool off.

Dude your in the wrong, don't expect your parents to pay fpor shit for you, not cool, but give your dad a few days to cool off and then apologise to him. $100 is a lot for most people and you went and spent all that just for fun, I can barely aford to spend 20p for fun, count yourself lucky you even have a card. Don't abuse it

Finances can be a touchy subject for many people and I also wouldn't call my dad a dick over some car because that's just petty. Regardless just let him cool down and recollect his thoughts.

Just let it cool off. Just because he said it doesn't mean he meant it.

Moving out is a horrible idea. You need to wait till you have two firm legs on the ground and some money saved for a very rainy day.
The best thing for you to do is to show growth and maturity in this. Say that you understand what you did wrong (and try and really understand it) and learn from it so it won't happen again. Perhaps even ask him to help you work on your finances a bit more wisely. He might be a lot of help to you.
