<prompt> Human: Alright, so Im in an incredibly frustrating situation. Basically, I received about 2 million dollars due to court settlement. My dad received around 400k. Anyways, I gave my dad 300k to buy a house for himself and my three little brothers. I suggested simply renting, but he wasnt having it. He suggested taking 350k out of the investments, so I could use 50k for furniture, a car, and expenses. He suggested a joint account. Whatever I did it, however I thought about it and decided to simply put the 50k back into my investment account because it doesnt make any sense to have that much money in a checking account. Now hes telling my that he needs the 50k as more for potentially buying a house. When I asked for the money back he got pissed and told me how disappointing he is in me. How im being cheap and dont care about him. How he did all this and provided for me my entire life and whatnot. Not only that, but I wanted to setup a checking account for myself, and hes getting angry about how I should just leave it in a joint account, and that he doesnt trust me with this much money. Its incredibly frustrating, im 18 by the way.  <response>: Your dad is attempting to manipulate you into giving him more of your money. Obviously youre starting to realize this, and you should trust your instinct that giving him more money isnt going to help you.Im willing to go out on a limb and say that if you read and follow the FAQ entry on investing youll do a lot better than what your dad has in mind, which seems to me like he just wants to spend it all.
