<prompt> Human: I 18M am currently a freshman at a large public university. I want to open my own private bank account so that my finances are kept private and so that my parents cant withdraw money from there. My current bank accounts are a checking and savings account that are accessible by both of my parents, but I technically dont have access to the savings account the money in it is mine, but I cant view it or transfer any money out of it. Between both accounts, I have around 3000.As explained in the title, if I open a new personal bank account and my mom finds out, she says she will stop paying for my college tuition. This may or may not be an empty threat, but it is nevertheless a serious one. She is a very controlling person and wants to have complete control over my finances for reasons she wont explain to me.If I open a new account and transfer the money from my checking account to the new account, she will see the missing money and be suspicious. Im also not really sure how I could get the money out of the savings account that I have no access to. I could probably convince my dad to transfer the money, but then my mom will definitely notice the missing money. What can I do to have full control over my money?  <response>: Make sure she really is paying for your college and not just taking out student loans in your name.
