<prompt> Human: Hi all, I dont want to get into too much specifics about my family situation as it is too complicated and the post will end up being too long. Sorry if this is the wrong sub but I had no idea where else to go.Long story short. I am a 19 year old student. I have around 8k in my savings. 4.5k of that, is my mums money which she hid in my account to hide from my fathers gambling addiction. The other 3.5k is my money which I saved from many jobs.My family is planning on buying a house next month. They want to borrow my money for the initial payment and plan to pay me back. However, I know they wont be able to because they are TERRIBLE with money. Not to mention, they are toxic and I am planning on leaving them for good when I finish university. I also have an unstable relationship with them and I know, if they find out about the lifestyle I live not religious, I have a boyfriend etc they will kick me out. So I know I will need that money as an emergency back up for when that happens. I dont mind them taking the 4.5k for good but I want that 3.5k for myself.Now, I am planning on opening another savings account under another bank. And I was thinking of transferring the 3.5k into there. But I realised that it would appear on my bank statement which theyll see when accessing the 4.5k. I need to transfer it in the least dodgy way possible. I could do small increments but it has to be transferring within the next 2-3 weeks and I dont think thats enough time. What are my options please?Also please dont tell me that its my money and I can say no and leave. My family is incredibly toxic and its best to stay on their good side. I am happy with transferring 4.5k to them as long as they dont hate me and try to make my life hell for the next 2-3 years I have left with them. If I refuse to cooperate, I could be left in a dangerous situation.Thank you in advance.UPDATE 1:Thank you for all the responses! You have all been so helpful and friendly. Ive also learnt a lot. Ive planned to do what most people suggested and open 2 new accounts, one for me hidden money they dont know about and one with the 4.5k. My current savings account is for under 19s so I have less than a year to move to an adult account so I guess thats a good excuse for changing accounts. I plan to close my current account but just incase I will label the 3.5k transfer for something like uni flat fees etc. Theyre lazy and shouldnt look too into it hopefully. I plan to maybe have an extra 500 of my OWN money with the 4.5k so it looks more realistic that thats the only money I have left which is MINE. I plan to visit banks tomorrow, hopefully should be done by the end of this week and I dont think theyll ask for the money until next week earliest. Once they ask for it, I will transfer it immediately so theyre less likely to try and investigate my account. Will update later. Thank you again everyone! Assistant: Are you going to be living in the new house? If so you might want to get on board with lending it.It doesnt sound like your whole family is bad with money-your mom managed to save 4.5 grand.I say lend it.Human: Well they want me to drop out of student accommodation and live with them all the time. However, if I continue living in student accommodation I would only have to return home for holidays, which is what I did the past year and it worked out fine. Yeah my mum is the only person I trust in the family but she doesnt get much say in the household as shes a woman. Do you think I should give the entire 8k? Why?  <response>: I would not lend it. It sounds like you will need this money in the near future. This is your emergency fund.
