I just lost $1700, should I tell my parents?

My parents gave me $1700 as allowance for the next 6 months, and I lost it. I dont know whether I should tell my parents, or should I just bear with it. I just feel really terrible and guilty for losing such a huge sum of money, and Im not sure how I can say that to my parents. Somebody answer me pls, cause I dont know what do do now, and this has been dementing me for a few days now:((. Thank you

Answer #1

Thank you all for your advices:), I’m finding a way to tell my parents. @twomommyshell: Seemed like I dropped it in a department store. I have alerted the customer services, but it’s like 5 days already and they never call back, so I think there would be no chance.

Answer #2

how did you lose the money? did you drop it someware or gamble? lose it around the house what??? your killing me here. If you lost it around the house they may have it and are waiting for you to say something. they should have put that in the bank for you there almost as responcablefor the loss as you. If you had droped it in a store I work at a department store and when we or a customer finds money we lock it up for a wile and hope it’s clamed. let me know thanks you should tell them.

Answer #3

I say tell them.. I mean it is your money you can do w/e you want with it so if you lose it its your own fault ya know… you still have to do the work and all but tell them that if you are gonna need any other money for the next 6 months you will do even more work around the house.. unless you just get payed cause you are lucky then tell them you will do some work.. like I said.. they shouldnt get too mad.. its not there money anymore.. you will just have to find your own way to get money

Answer #4

Actually, Im studying abroad so they would not be able to find out about that. It’s just that I think if I tell them then I would feel much better, but Im worried about their feelings.

Answer #5

I still say tell them - it would be better to get it out then to live with the guilt.

Answer #6

Be honest with them. They might be mad, but they will be ever more mad if they find out you lied to them and kept that secret.

Answer #7

Just Tell Them Lol Even Though That Is A Lot Of Money

Answer #8
