Is it normal? How does your life differ?

Is it normal to never have had pocket money?
My parents give me money on my card. But they never tell me. So spending money is weird for me. Like I don't really care how much i spend as I always have cash. Will this affect me financially when I'm older?
I feel like my parents should've given me pocket money when I was younger though for chores (which I don't have). So am I to blame when I don't do chores?

I have never really bought anything new. I normally wear what my parents buy me. I feel guilty when I buy myself something. Is it normal to feel this? I never really got to experiment with clothes- It's been my mum's normally.
So is it normal to not have a style and new clothes at 17?
My parents aren't poor, I don't think.
You should do chores without financial reward, because you're not a baby, and you live in the house too!

As for pocket money, you've said they put money on your card, so it sounds to me like they do give you pocket money. But again, you're not a baby. If you want more brass, get a part time job.
