This has been going on for pretty much my whole life but it has gotten worse since I graduated from university a few years ago. My aunt left me money in the 6 figures when I was 18 and I have left it invested for the most part occasionally making withdrawls for purchases; but for the most part this account has always been making money and I have never dipped into the capital. 

When I graduated from University (4ish years ago) I was fortunate enough to land a very good paying job. I quit this job earlier this year and this week I signed an offer for a new job which pays more than my previous one. 

This is where it gets tough for me. Every time I make purchase of anything over a thousand dollars he lectures me and I never hear the end of it. My problem is its starting to get to the point where I can't be honest with my parents because it means I just get another lecture... This relationship is important to me but I don't know how to make things better and every time I hide something it makes me feel worse. 

How do I approach this situation with him?

I am having trouble talking to my dad because our relationship is important to me and I am afraid he will start screaming at me for not spending as much as
