. I am a first year uni student So far I have 1,064 dollars in my bank account and monthly I get 300 dollar transfers from my dad. Next month, I need to pay 1,100 for my direct deposit and also 150 for my uni meal plan covers. As well, I needed to use at least 100 bucks for taking a mega bus to and from the location in may and pay 70 dollars for this trip for a ticket to seattle. The issue was I loaded too much cash on my student card to avoid using my actual debit card. I told my dad and he sent me some cash for helping and wasn't too happy. I feel bad for leeching off of him since he's done so much for me anyway an the money he wasted on me could've been used for something else. I don't want him to think of me as some irresponsible stooge or something. I want to give him 150 dollars monthly for what I've done to him to payback the 450 dollars I spent for my student card.
I'm assuming you work since do have some money? If not, I suggest getting a part-time job. Then this summer/ during breaks between classes, you can pick up extra hours or even a second part time job to make more money. You could then pay your dad back and start saving up for when classes start again. It's nice you want to pay him back, some people wouldn't think twice about it. Don't be hard on yourself, just let your dad know how much you appreciate all he does for you

There will be a time in your life when you will understand giving money to someone you love is a gift both to the giver and the receiver.
Love your dad..that's payment enough.

You sound like a pretty responsible kid. Comes with the territory of parenting that sometimes you have to give more than you want. As long as my sons were responsible most of the time, even though I wasn't too happy--I helped them out when needed or when they messed up.
When my sons were growing up, I told them they were going to make mistakes--just make small enough ones that can easily be fixed. (One did a major mistake--somehow we made it through that one!)
