Financial Abuse/Playing With

Basic Trope: Someone restricts access to money that another character needs.
 * Played Straight: Alice has earned lots of money in her music career, however, her parents take all but a nominal $100 a month from her to use for themselves.
 * Exaggerated: Alice, despite earning every penny herself, never so much as sees one penny she's earned. Meanwhile, her parents have just bought themselves two new luxury cars and a vacation home in Tahiti.
 * Justified:
 * Alice has proven too irresponsible in the past to handle money; her parents restrict her access to it in an attempt to teach her fiscal responsibility.
 * The money is going towards something for Alice, such as a new car or a college fund or a wedding, something she doesn't have yet but will have in the future.
 * Inverted: Alice has her parents' money direct-deposited into her account and only lets them have a little of it.
 * Subverted: The parents seem like they're about to do this, but they relent, and Alice gets to keep most of the money
 * Double Subverted: But her parents make her give up a good amount of it for "room and board"
 * Deconstructed: Alice will never learn financial responsibility if she has no money to spend or save.
 * Reconstructed: Alice's parents let her have the money, though they may insist on setting it aside for things like college.
 * Parodied: Alice wears rags and lives outside her parents' mansion in a cardboard box, picking through their garbage for tiny scraps of food.
 * Averted:
 * Alice is allowed to keep most or all of her earnings.
 * Alice does not earn any money
 * Enforced:
 * Invoked: Alice earns lots of money, and her parents worry about her losing it all.
 * Defied: Alice's parents let her have all her money. If she makes mistakes with it, they want her to learn from them.
 * Played For Laughs: ???
 * Played For Drama: Alice is married to an abusive husband, and his control of the money is yet another obstacle she must face in the Lifetime Movie of the Week
