I’m a grad student so I make very little money, but I have a comfortable margin of saving, so I donate 2% of my income. It’s not a huge amount either way so I don’t overthink it—I just do it because I want to.
I also had the chance to use my parents money for daily spending and I rejected it because I really strongly value independence. If I valued quality of life more I would lean more on them. It is a personal decision which one you care about.
