I'm proud in saying that when I was a member I always paid myself :) But had it come to asking my parents (ha!) I would have simply asked in return for jobs/chores or me actually giving them the $5/̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã3.20 every month. Now I think about it, even though my family is poor, I can't see my mum or dad taking that pitiful amount off me every month. They would have prefered me working for it to learn a valuable lesson...that is, of course, all hypothetical, seeing as my parents and I show equal resentment to each other and are never in touch. But you get my point!
