Mom gives you a weekly grocery list with $50 worth of products on it. You must buy everything on it every week.

Mom tells you to take $150 out of her wallet every month. You may not take any more.

You know you'll be short. She knows you'll be short. But you can get by for three weeks, so she'll wait until then to address the issue.
