<prompt> Human: Im 18 and starting university in September. Ive been given suddenly 500 from a great-step-auntie and I feel bad for accepting it. She told me to keep it between me and her and I am yet to tell my parents. Its a lot of money for me, as I currently have no savings at all. The awkward thing is, I was given this amount of money by her before and I, to be completely honest, wasted it on complete shit and I feel awful about it. I hope I have learned not to spend and keep it for something useful. Am not sure if this is the right subreddit but I really dont know what to do.ThanksEdit: I accepted it and rang her up this morning and thanked her. Thanks for all your advice  <response>: Accept the money. Send a hand written thank you note. Keep the money in savings, use it to help you at school.Keep in mind that what 500 represents to you, might not be that much to someone else in term of utility. Keep her in the loop on how school is going.
