Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it's up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in Saturday's paper.
This week's question
Am I alone in having parents who are useless with money? We never had any as a family when I grew up – and nothing's changed. I'm now 28, have been saving up for eight years and can now put a deposit on a flat. My parents have found out about it and are pressuring me to help them out, but I really want the flat. What do a I do?
What are your thoughts?
