Introduction
Dear Dad,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. It has been a while since we last had a conversation about my Pocket Money. As you know, I am now 18 years old and I believe it is time to reassess my Pocket Money allowance. This is not just about the money, but about taking on more responsibilities and learning how to manage finances. In this letter, I will present to you some compelling reasons why I believe my Pocket Money should be increased and how I plan to use it wisely.
Pocket Money: Why It Matters
Firstly, let me explain why Pocket Money is important for me at this stage in my life. At 18 years old, I am on the brink of adulthood and I need to learn how to manage my own finances. I believe Pocket Money is the perfect way to start learning this skill. It allows me to have a certain amount of independence and freedom while still under your guidance and supervision. It also teaches me the value of money and how to budget and save for my future goals and aspirations.
Moreover, having Pocket Money gives me the opportunity to engage in daily activities without constantly asking for your financial support. For example, if I want to grab a coffee with friends or buy a book, having Pocket Money means I don’t have to ask you for money every time. This not only saves you the hassle of transferring money to me but also gives me a sense of responsibility and autonomy.
The Average Pocket Money for an 18-Year-Old in India
Before I make my request, I did some research on the average Pocket Money given to 18-year-olds in India. According to a survey conducted by Youth Incorporated Magazine, the average Pocket Money given to an 18-year-old in India is Rs. 2500 per month. Compared to this, my current allowance of Rs. 1500 seems inadequate for someone who is about to enter college and take on more responsibilities. I believe an increase in my Pocket Money would bring it in line with this average and give me a better understanding of how to manage my finances.
Online Earning: An Alternative Solution
I understand that financial stability is a concern and increasing my Pocket Money may put a strain on the family budget. However, I have a solution that can benefit both of us. In today’s digital age, there are several opportunities for online earning without any investment. By taking up online jobs or freelance work, I can supplement my Pocket Money and even help with some of my own expenses. This would not only reduce the burden on you but also instill a sense of responsibility and independence in me.
There are many platforms where I can find online jobs such as content writing, data entry, virtual assistant, and more. These jobs are flexible and can be done from the comfort of our own home. With your guidance and support, I am confident that I can excel in any online job I take up and contribute to my own Pocket Money.
Conclusion
I hope this letter has convinced you to reconsider my Pocket Money allowance. As an 18-year-old, I am ready to take on more responsibilities and learn how to manage my finances. I believe an increase in my Pocket Money will not only give me an opportunity to understand the value of money but also teach me important life skills. However, if increasing the allowance is not feasible, I am more than willing to take up online jobs to supplement my Pocket Money. I am truly grateful for everything you have provided for me and I am confident that with your support, I can become a responsible and financially independent individual.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I look forward to discussing this further with you and finding a solution that works for both of us.
Sincerely,
Your Responsible and Aspiring 18-Year-Old
