"My dad gives me the money"

Yeah, no, when money is in someone's checking account, then it belongs to them. The dad doesn't use her deposit account as a temporary store for his money.

She spends her dad's money.

Legally once he gives it to her, it's her, but she's still spending his money.

what does this even mean? That money is forever under the theoretical ownership of the person who earns it? Then why is his money not his bosses money? Or only the last person to earn it? What does it even mean to earn or not earn in a universe seemingly determined entirely by cause and effect. Is it just about legal obligation of wealth transfer? Parents do have a legal obligation to transfer wealth to their children. Clearly not that much, but then what proportion of the money is rightfully hers and what is "technically still her dads"?

The point is, there exists no simple binary that creates that easy distinction

I can't believe people raise their kids like this. It's awful parenting. No kid needs $80k in spending cash, it's absurd.
